Well, I was given the choice of birth control pills or progesterone to regulate. If you're not trying to have kids and sexually active, I'd go for the birth control. I don't take anything for the insulin resistance just watch my carb intake. BTW, chromium picolanate is great for reducing the cravings for carbs. As far as the the hair growth, I did laser hair removal.

From what I've read, losing even 10% of your body weight can greatly reduce your symptoms. But as you prob know PCOS makes it very easy to gain and very hard to lose.
