I think I have PCOS.
I’m going to try to word this the best that I can.
I went to the dr because me and my husband have been trying for our second baby. My periods went ghost on me last year. I took provera. They were like clockwork. Tracked ovulation. Never fell pregnant. Periods ghosted me again this year. I haven’t had one since May. I’ve gained a good number of weight. I went from 159 to now 211 pounds.. Even if I don’t eat, I gain.. Went to the dr to figure out the issue. She said she thinks I could be “insulin resistant.” So she tested me. My results showed insulin level of 40.6 when it says insulin should range between 2.6-24.9 but that was at 3:54 in the afternoon. My SHBG level was low too, but my testosterone level was normal…. And I’ve been on provera for the last 4 days now to try to get my period back alive.
She had me do a fasting of 9 hours and she took my blood again, and now we’re waiting on the new insulin level results to figure out what’s going.. Anyways, I really feel sick to my stomach. I’m hoping like hell that I’m not diabetic or anything like that & I also don’t want to have PCOS. Has anyone gone through this?? Can someone please give me some insight..
