Feel Insulin Resistance but not

I was diagnoased with PCOS just recently- I have a 5:1 LSH/FH (I'm not sure in which order) level. and this past year have really felt the symptoms of insulin resistance. I feel tired , shaky, etc. However I just did the fasting glucose test and it came back negative. So the doctor is not going to give me metaformin instead only BCPs. I have been to about five doctors over the past year only because my job has me move every two months. So needless to say it is difficult to get a straight answer. And with the different answers I've been getting from every doctor I feel like I can't trust anything doctors say anymore. I initially only started going in because of abnormal pap smears. The first three doctors never even thought of PCOS even though I told them I never have my period. But they also said that i don't have to be on BCP only need withdraw bleeding a few timss a year. So now instead of taking metaformin a medicine that could make me feel better all the time I get to take BCPs that will make me feel worse (i get really irratable when I do have my period) for a week every month. Does anyone now if BCP makes you feel any better? Or if there is any medical reason to take BCPS? Any suggestions?
