I think the problem is that you are concentrating on the here and now, when you need to see the bigger picture. First, I hear that Gluc may take 6-8 months before noticing anything. So if you have only been on if for a little time, then wait. Maybe, Im not a doctor of course, you need a stronger dose. Something you should talk to doctor about. I hear you can go as 2500mg a day. After that, is not recommended.

What is Diane 35 I have been hearing about? Is it a BCP? I have been out of the med look for nearly 3 years because I was takin a break from dealing with PCOS. I have been dealing with PCOS for 18 years. I am 28 years old. Being under the scope since I was 10 has been a difficult journey. So, besides Gluc/Met if there are new drugs out there please inform me. I know about the DCI pill as I was on the study for this. I either got the sugar pill or it did nothing for me. What else is new? LOL
