Get blood drawn for total and free testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, dheas, lh, fsh, insulin, cpeptide. If you have pcos, then glucophage (metformin) can reduce Insulin resistance and reduce weight.

They don't...: Ovarian cysts don't cause weight gain, but being overweight can cause Insulin resistance which can lead to the formation of ovarian cysts.
