although I have posted many times that BCPs are not for PCOSers. Diane is a partial exception, because of its antiandrogen effects, but this doesn't help with IR. Porgestogen only pills may be somewhat better, but still... they are only halting (in best case) the progress of the disease. >

are you saying that there are NO BCPs that will not worsen insulin resistance? i absolutely loathe being on the BCP because i don't like feeling like i have no idea what is going on with my body. however, i want to start taking aldactone again, and i can't be on that without being on BCP because i have really crazy bleeding on aldactone. i will hate being on the pill even more if i know that no matter what i pick it will worsen my IR. (After a week on the pill, i already am having ridiculous food cravings and feeling fatter... the pill doesn't seem to cause by-the-scale weight gain in me but it makes me FEEL fatter. i don't know how else to explain it... )

as for finestride (or however it's spelled...) i forget why it's less prescribed here. i think it costs more and has more risks assosciated with it... but i can't recall. i just know aldactone is the antiandrogen of choice here... and it works very well, except for the bleeding part...
