I contacted Dr. Glueck, also considered top PCOSdr and he suggested
that I increase the met as well.
I wish I could figure out what to do. My instincts are telling me that
the met is worsening my PCOS but the doctors don't seem to want to
believe this. I'm at a loss of what to do next.
Only time will tell.
Keep us all informed of your situation.
thanks
Take care.

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.
