Part 5/8:
Realizing I needed a specialized opinion, I asked to see a female doctor who had experience with PCOS. Dr. Bini AJ conducted tests for hormone levels and confirmed I had PCOS and also diagnosed adenomyosis. Feeling relieved to finally have clarity, she placed me on metformin and another supplement to manage my symptoms and improve my chances of conception.

Despite the awkward adjustments, I carried on because my healthcare provider believed it would help my body better manage insulin, thereby reducing my male hormone levels.
