Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
I am sorry that you are not getting a good result from the use of hormonal therapy or alternative medicines. As you know, PCOS is the result of 'insulin resistance' that is most often related to being slightly overweight. You know this because you are trying to lose weight to help remedy the situation.
What I would post to you, though, is that if there is a problem that is not being properly addressed with nothing working to control your cycles, then you need:
1. A second opinion with another OB/GYN
2. A visit with an Endocrinologist to make sure they are not missing some other endocrine disorder
I hope that this helps and good luck!!
