-- Katie, You have every right to feel misstreated by the medical community ,but it is now time to find a capable and compassionite reproductive endocronologist. It took me at least five years to find one for myself.Unfortunately P.C.O. is still not taken seriously enough by some Doctors ,that is why it is so important to find a Doctor who truly understands the emotional aspect of the disorder as well as the traumatic physical and reprductive symptons of P.C.O. Don't give up hope there is much more research being done now than there was when I was diagnosed.You have probably know this already,but doing your own research is extremely important!Try to focus on the future and put what that Doctor did behind you.I know from personal experience that is easier said than done. Best of luck,Cate
