That is typical of Pcos. I have had “lean Pcos” since 15, diagnosed at 25 and have been on metformin ever since (except during pregnancies, for which I did need to so iui and ivf.)

at the time I was diagnosed the rec was for metformin even with no indicators of insulin resistance because the rate of diabetes is very high even in lean Pcos.

Definitely wish I didn’t have it but it hasn’t been a huge deal. Good luck to you daughter!

Reviving this thread in case this poster is reading… For lean PCOS, did metformin actually help? Just wondering because my 15-year-old daughter is about to be diagnosed with lean PCOS (not OP). She has high testosterone, high Lh/FSA ratio, high prolactin, etc. But normal glucose and has always been skinny. She is a stress case so I can totally see her adrenals being the cause. Wondering if metformin still helps in this case.

I’m op here and doctor just recommended pill (generic yaz). Fwiw she said metformin wreaks havoc on digestive system and she wouldn’t recommend for young women with no weight issue.
