Hi Jo

Just to let you know that I'm in the same boat. G.P's here in the UK don't seem to know too much about PCOS. I was told that when I decided to get pregnant again I should go back to my G.P. and ask for help. Great advice, when my main problem is weight and acne. If you hear of anything feel free to email me it's great to find someone else who knows how it feels to be isolated because of the lack of knowledge here.
