He responded quickly to say that he hadn't heard of that happening, and that in his opinion it was due to a worsening of the disorder rather than due to the treatment. In July I will go back to my endo and find out the results of my b/w taken last week. The b/w I had taken in January showed a big testosterone increase, then I went off Met for 3 months and last week had blood drawn to see what happens without Met in my system. I think it will be very interesting to see if my bad levels decreased, as to me that would point to Met as the culprit, and not the PCOS itself. I will keep you posted on the results; I think you were on to something when you said Met is not the answer for everyone. If Avandia/ACTOS doesn't work, that leaves me back at square 1 with bcps until some new drug comes out. Very, very frustrating to have hope for a turnaround only to find out it won't happen after all.
