Hi Hannah (I love your name)
Well apparently PCOS is caused by irregular insulin levels which actually comes
around full circle. She put me on met (a form of insulin used to treat mild
diabetes) to even keel in insulin levels.
I have seen some results .. I have not been as faithful as I should be with it ..
I have always had a problem taking meds long term ..
I do have severe PCOS .. both Ovaries are bad and the ultrasound before last found
a cyst in my uterus .. the last ultrasound showed that it doubled in size in 6
months and I am due for another in 1 month. My Ob/Gyn said that if it has changed
at all, then she will want to do surgery. Check this link out .. it will give you
more info on meds ...

Keep in touch!! Amy
