I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but maybe I should have mentioned it in the first post she has been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. All I really know about it is that it will effect out chances of having children in the future and that it might be the reason she has such irregular periods and why sometimes during her period she doesn't bleed. but when she went on the BC she bled for over a month non-stop... If I could I would find a personal program for her that wold be great but with our schedules, lack of money, and her inability to swallow pills it will be rather difficult.
Why she doesn't lose fat around the belly is usually stress (cortisol) or insulin resistance. A thyroid problem or a sedentary lifestyle could also be the problem.
Why some NBE didn't work is often bcp or diet.
High testosterone is a tough problem. It may be a supplement.
How did BC affect her?
From your first post, I'd say her thinking is OK. Nothing we haven't heard before here.
