Not sure that makes sense...but I had PCOS, with all the pain and HAIRY issues...and had a hysterectomy after 16 years of dealing with PCOS and endometriosis...and now after having my GBS I am noticing that my HAIR issues are possibly returning!! Yikes!!
Good luck

I started taking Metformin after going to a Bariatric doc for weight loss. The first question he asked me was what are you doing to manage your PCOS? At the time I was taking birth control only. The test revealed a very high testosterone level, and insulin resistance. I lost 130lbs. in 14 months, but like I said gained most of it back. I do not have the endometriosis, or the infertility. I am very hairy, very moody from the testosterone, and cannot each a carb without getting a dimple. The research that I have done is that 93% of women with PCOS/D are overweight. This is caused due to insulin resistance.
Last time I lost weight my hair issue got so much better. Really looking forward to it.
Thanks for responding and good luck!
