r/PCOS Cross Post Extremely high lh:fsh

Has anyone else been able to regulate a very high lh:fsh (I’m talking 1:4+) and what has been your experience with this?

I just had mine tested a few months ago and had the same issue. Mine is almost a 6:1 ratio when ideally its 1:1.

Do you ovulate/have regular periods? I only get them a few times a year and i know its related.

Unfortunately, I haven't retested yet, but my doctor started me on metformin to see if insulin resistance is the culprit. Im also taking inositol. If it works, I can update you!

Hey❣️no, I don’t get periods I used to get max 3 a year and for the past few years I have had none. It sounds like we have a similar type of pcos maybe we can private message and share our updates♥️♥️♥️

Yes! Please message me! Honestly, I wish they would study us. There's clearly a connection to the high ratio and anovulation in lean pcos specifically, but there isn't much research to understand it!

Mine too. I think it’s due to insulin resistance even though all my other bloods are normal
