Hi Erin,

If I were your gyn I wouldn't look for allergies. You have a clear case of PCOS (high testosterone, high insulin, excess weight, no periods). You should have your insulin levels checked (insulin sensitizers) and the other symptoms may regress by themselves. If not (after 6 mo) you may add antiandrogens. Hope this helps
