>ok< You Must Keep researching pcos, then you keep knocking on every Doctors door until you find one that is willing to help you. They don't like it when you tell them you know whats wrong with you,but if you keep asking around you will find a Doc who knows something or is willing to find out.PCOS is a whole body experience Not just your ovaries.We are just on the edge of figuring this thing out.Just keep at it ! chris
