Dear Scared
I live in Missouri as well and suggest that you contact the reproductive
endocrenologists at KU medical center. the head of that department
specializes in PCOS and pregnancy, I can't remember her name. Also if
you have trouble with insurance you can apply for medicaid at the
Division of Family Services office in your county. If you live nearer
to St. Louis I understand there are some very good PCOS doctors there
but am not sure where to tell you to start. If you E-Mail me I may be
able to get you the name of the Doctor on Kansas City. I have it in my
office at work.
bye bye. Leigh
