Hi Deb- My name is DeLynn and I live in Elmira (about 50 miles south of the bridge). I'm not sure what part of the UP you're from,but I've had pretty good luck with a doctor in Petoskey. She doesn't specialize in PCOS,but she's been very good with me and willing to look at information I bring in etc. She also spends alot of time talking with downstate doctors that do specialize in this type of thing and looks around on the internet. Let me know if you'd like more information. Also, I'm thinking of starting a PCOS support group in this area. FYI - I am 32 (33 in June) and have had the diagnosis for about 10 yrs. 1 successful pregnancy so far. Best of Luck! DeLynn
