Hi Jenny,

I can't follow the logics of your dr. Glucophage is no antiandrogen per se. It decreases androgen levels in PCOSers. So if you are no PCOSer no reason to take either Glucophage or other insulin sensitizers. So you better have a clear diagnosis where your extra androgens (if any) come from and not experiment with 'naturals'. Yasmin is a symptomatic but not causal treatment.
