Hi Katie,
This means that your diagnosis is not complete (no hormone results). The choice of medication depends on your needs. If contraception is a priority, Diane is an option. If you want to put your metabolism/hormones in order, than you have to do your lab work and start with Rx accordingly.
So far so good
