Missy: This is a problem that many of us have had. I had visted several doctors who either dismissed me or told me to lose weight. You should try to find a Reproductive Endrocrinologist who will listen to you and discuss the issue. Did your doctor do a vaginal ultrasound? In addition to blood tests, an ultrasound is usually done to see if you have any cysts on your ovaries.
