Yes, have been tested and my hormones are imbalanced so I do see the unfortunate results from that as well. Much less of an issue though that the period pain and related problems. Again, cross my fingers, the ablation brought some of it under control. Now I am focusing on other side effects and seeing how to address them...

Did not mean to say that insulin resistance causes PCOS, not at all. PCOS sufferers have been shown to demonstrate insulin resistance, so kind of the other way around, but not all PCOS sufferers. This is why many are also put on Glucophage/Metformin and seem to get good results, even in weight loss. But as with all women's issues, there is no cure, there seems to be only management. And it can be different from person to person it seems.

The info though is always good, keep the insights coming and if anyone has had successes in these area, pass it on!
