>Hi there! I am so sorry you are not been treated well. It seems it never helps to tell someone I've been there, The only advice I have for you is to go to your doctor and tell him/her you want a full check up that you suspect you have pcos and if he/she can not treat you please refer you to an endocrinologist.
I also suggest to talk to your husband and know is he is going to be
there for you or not, as much as it hurts, you deserve the love and
respect just for been his wife, I think you should be thankfull for your
daughter and do not stress over giveing him another baby, the firs thing
is to get your health issues under control, and feel better about
yourself ( if you need go to terapy, that help me alot with my self
confidence, and make me realize that even if I can not change my body I
will try for me ( not anyone else ) to improve my health and be around
for my family ( I have 2 little boys )
Good luck and cheer up, start with a low carb diet ( atkins ) and go tho
the doctor until he hears you.
