I was diagnosed by symptoms, a elevated glucose, elevated insulin, elevated testosterone, and a low progesterone level. With some there are changes in the FSH to LH ratio and with others there aren't any differences with the ratio. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
