May be PCOS: You may have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is often related to hypothyroidism and hyperinsulinemia. I suggest having your thyroid checked, and initiate treatment with Armour thyroid, if appropriate. Also, take Metformin, 500 mg three times daily to restore insulin receptor sensitivity. The herb Berberine, may also help in this regard. Metformin will help normalize your weight, too.
