Sorry about your situation - but now is the chance to do your research
and make sure you find a really good dr who you are comfortable with.
Also read as much as possible about your treatment options so that you
are also aware of what shoudl be done. I would go for the dr. who
wants the blood work every month. Also you should perhaps make sure she
is familiar with PCOS and be screened for it. Because if you have pcos
there are other medications (insulin sensitisers - like
Metformin/glucophage or others) that will increase your chances of
becoming pregnant.\
Best wishes,
Sally
