Well see, I do go to a clinic were they offer charity crae for people
without insurance. They don't cover most lab work which sounds retarted
to me., though i am currently looking for a insurance company, im afraid
no one will accep t me cause of pcos. What i want to know is do you
think my doc will give me the clomid nomatter what? I don't care about
the cost of the pills, im just worried about getting them.
