Elizabeth is a woman of 32 years of age who had been diagnosed with PCOS by her endocrinologist earlier at 27 years. I first met her and husband Peter about 12 months ago after they had been trying to get pregnant for the 18 months prior with no success.
Elizabeth has the typical PCOS picture… of very infrequent menstrual cycles and complained of other signs of PCOS such as acne and some hair loss. Blood tests checking for diabetes had diagnosed Insulin Resistance and she was started on the tablet called Metformin (see article on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Treatment and Metformin).
