Hi Gloria-jean,
If you read through the archives of all the posts on these boards, you
will see that Ovary Pain is one of the #1 disucssions on these boards.
We pretty much ALL seem to experience it--and it can be caused by the
cysts that many (not all) of us tend to get. Met and BCPs are not the
only treatments for PCOS (and BCPs only mask the symtpoms). You should
see a Reproductive Endocrinologist for better treatment. Since PCOS is
an Endocrine disorder, these Dr's are more trained in this field (it's
their specialty) and they are the best to see. Hope this helps!
Good luck--Zowie :)
