what in the PCOS do I even have?

Hello! I’ve been told my entire life I have PCOS and recently i changed my gynecologists. She asked me to do some blood tests. Here are the results:

HbA1c: 4.3% (which means average glycemia around 77)
Fasting blood glucose: 90 mg/dL (after a bad night sleep, but usually it’s 78-80)
Fasting insulin: 3.5 µIU/mL
HOMA-IR: 0.78
SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): 119 nmol/L (at the higher limit)
DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate): 331.8 µg/dL
LH/FSH ratio: <2 but >1
Progesterone and estrogen: within normal range
Testosterone: 94.46 (measured at ovulation); 79.49 (measured on the first day of the menstrual cycle)
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 54 kg
Body fat: 21%
Prolactin: within normal range
Irregular menstrual cycles (every 70-80 days but sometimes sooner sometimes later)
Ultrasound findings consistent with PCOS
Normal thyroid function
Normal liver function

I clearly have no insulin resistance at all. I alao don’t have acne, no hirsutism, normal bloodflow, my libido is average/high, my energy levels are alright… But I can’t seem to understand why my menstrual cycles are all over the place in terms of duration. I also do sports and I have pretty good muscle mass.

It doesn’t look like IR or adrenal…

I’ve always been this way also! In fact when i was little my periods were even later than now (once it happened after 10 months)

I have my appointment in one week. But I wanted to ask for your opinion as I’m new to this. I haven’t done research about this before. I just took it as it is.

▲ 15 r/runna

I adore Runna training plans. They help me not get injured and also achieve my goals fast.

That being said. I now want to start incorporate swimming in my training plan. Do you know an app that does the same as Runna, but for swimming? Before Runna producers also create a swimming app as well? (Maybe one day, one can only hope)

i titrated the dose and yesterday i arrived at my final dose of 50mg in the morning and another 50mg lamotrigine in the evening. yesterday i couldnt sleep. i stayed awake until 6 am.

today i felt very tired, my head hurts because of tiredness but now it is 2AM and guess what… i cant sleep.

i slept so well until now, even with the lower doses. but now i feel so so anxious and cant sleep… i am very scared

has anyone gotten through this? or would it be better if i just switch back to my old medication? (levetiracetam)
