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.
