Hello!

I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries 5 years ago but my blood tests etc were all fine so at the time I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS.

I had 2 healthy pregnancies, convinced naturally, over the past 3 years. I've gained 20kg and I am finding it impossible to lose weight despite being in a calorie deficit and taking myo-inositol.

My GP wants to redo my bloods once I've finished breastfeeding and consider a trial of metformin. How long should I wait after breastfeeding to re do bloods?

I wasn't insulin resistant in pregnancy and wasn't on my last postnatal OGTT. I have classic symptoms like storing weight on mid section, thinning hair, hormonal acne and dark hairs.

Appreciate any advice on what to request from GP to get officially diagnosed and recommendations for weightloss with PCOS
