    TLDR Women with different PCOS types have similar fertility treatment results.
    The document presents findings from a study on the outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques in women with different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes. The study included 351 women with PCOS and 350 controls with male factor infertility, treated at the Yazd Research and Clinical Center for Infertility in Iran from April 1, 2015, to August 31, 2017. It was found that while there were significant differences in hormone levels and fasting blood sugar between PCOS phenotypes, these differences did not translate into significant variations in fertilization, implantation, or pregnancy rates among the different PCOS phenotypes. The study concluded that ART outcomes were similar across PCOS phenotypes, suggesting that a uniform ovarian hyperstimulation protocol could be used for women with different PCOS phenotypes during frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. However, the study's retrospective design may limit the precision of the findings, and further research is needed to fully understand the impact of PCOS phenotypes on reproductive outcomes.

      community Female, 30, PCOS diagnosis, MPB Norwood 2. Endo refuses to give anything other than Spironolactone. Feel like I’m at my wit’s end here.

      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
