My bloodwork came back normal, too. My testosterone was on the high end
of normal, everything was within normal range. My doctor put me on
Avandia anyway, and I started ovulating. My doctor's explanation was
that my "body's" definition of insulin resistance was lower than what
the acceptable range is. Thus, I responded to the Avandia.
