Hi Loretta,
You need to look for endocrinologists in your area...where abouts are
you from? (I may be able to give you a few suggestions) If you can find
an endo in your area that is PCOS knowledgeable then you can go to your
doctor and get him/her to give you a referral. If he won't do that it's
time to get a new doctor. I had to do it and it was the best thing I
did. Don't let a doctor tell you what he/she is /isn't ready to do!
Sorry to hear about your sister. Take care.
Melanie
