I am so sorry your PCOS didnt get adressed by your doctor. You may need
to self refer yourself as I did to a reproductive endo. I thought my
insurance wouldnt cover when I went so I was prepared to pay cash for
the consult. As it turned out because they found a medical problem my
insurance did pay.You may have to take this chance and just do a self
referal or call your doctor and ask his nurse for a referal to a
reproductive endo because the doctor did not adress your PCOS issues.
