Hi Hails,

I have PCOS and too have normal hormone levels. It is a multifarious condition which affects everyone differently.

It is also possible to have PCO and not have PCOS. PCO is not necessarily a problem it depends on what your other symptoms are. Studies in the UK have shown that 20-25% of women will show PCO on ultrasound at any one time, so it is quite common and possibly just a part of being perfectly normal. PCOS is less common.

I am also in the minority as I have PCOS and am not insulin resistant. I was diagnosed on the basis of ultrasound and symptoms, and even though I am not insulin resistant, my symptoms improve if I maintain a healthy weight and reduce stress, so for me the key to the condition is maintaining a healthy lifestyle - which is sometimes easier said than done.

Good luck and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
