I have lean pcos (bmi 19) but cant take metformin due to other medication i'm on (plaquenil) and cant take combined birth control due to migraines with aura. what would be the best way for me to manage my condition? what options do i have? thanks?

To answer this complex question, I think a gynecologic endocrinologist, perhaps at a university hospital, is best to consult.
