We did not have health insurance that would cover this until this year!! So I am getting back with a doc here. Also, just a word to all, some docs think that once the ovaries are gone-NO MORE PCO!!! I have had that for the last 3 years since my hysterectomy!! I knew that PCO was still in my life, it is all over my face and body!!! That is why NOW I get to get back with the doctors who know something about PCO. Thank you so much for the info and my prayers are with you for a baby.
