Metformin vs. Birth Control Pills
for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The goal of this study is to determine the relative desirability of metformin vs. oral combined hormonal contraceptives (OCs) in treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in women of later reproductive age. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire (PCOSQ) score will be used as a proxy for patient satisfaction. In light of their respective effects on the classic and metabolic facets of PCOS, metformin will provide non-inferior patient satisfaction compared to OCs in later reproductive age women with PCOS.

Predictors of Hyperandrogenism
for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The objective of the study is to determine the relative contributions of four established predictors of hyperandrogenism (luteinizing hormone \[LH\] secretion, ovarian response to recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin \[r-hCG\] administration, adrenal response to adrenocorticotropic hormone \[ACTH\] administration, and hyperinsulinemia) in older vs. young women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in a cross-sectional, physiological study. The investigators hypothesize that hyperinsulinemia is a stronger independent predictor of free testosterone (T) in older reproductive aged (vs. young) women with PCOS.
