Thnaks Dr sam,

when I had amenorrhoea 2 yrs before, FREET4 , T4,TSH,RT3U,PRLACTIN were in the normal Range.LH(20.4 MIU/ML), FSH (4.78 MIU/ML), DHEA (5.5NG/ML), DHEAS (246 UG/DL), ESTRONE (132 pg/dl), TESTERONE (57 ng/dl).US- One 3mm cyst.

Beforre starting my problem , very significant stressful events had occured( I traveled too - 15 hrs flight).I have a question here, If it is stress related ,is it possible to have progesterone withdrawal bleeding (I had)and spotting after 3 or 4 months amennorhea ( lasted for one month) ? IS 1 hour GTT enough to rule out whether I Am insulin resistant or Not. Random glucose is normal. I read that I hour after glucose may not be utilized by cells, Is it correct? My dad's( he is type one DM) sibilings are dx as type 2 diabetic.

thanks again. anita.

Well female hormones do influence GTT, but not to the extent that you would be mistaken for a diabetic. On the other hand GTT is not to diagnose PCOD (or PCOS as most of us call it).
