[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metformin is a standard treatment.[/quote] Not for everyone. I'm the PP who was officially diagnosed in my early 30s but symptomatic as far back as my late teens. Because I am not insulin resistant (thin, no issues with blood sugar or A1C), none of the doctors I've seen (PCP, endocrinologist, OBGYN, or RE) would put me on metformin. Combo bc was the best for me at controlling symptoms.[/quote] I didn't have any of those issues either and my OB/GYN put me on the meds in my 20s. Helped a lot with excess androgen in particular, and was essential for balancing hormones and for conception. Was thrilled to get off the pill, forever. I never tolerated it well. [/quote] I took metformin off and on, did help. A low carb diet helped just as much. [/quote] +1 Metformin. I'm surprised she was dx without an ultrasound of her ovaries.[/quote]
