>hi everyone i was diagnosed with pcos in september after several years of not knowing what was wrong. the doctor that i see is a saint...the first day that i saw him he talked to me a few minutes and looked at the ultrasound pics that i brought with me and he told me that i had pcos and explained everything to me in laymans terms so that i understood what he meant. i have see him about every 2 to 3 weeks so that he can monitor me on the glucaphage and have taken 2 rounds of clomide, i've had a biopsy and a sonohystagram and found out that i have 2 polyps in my uterus. i had given up on dr's until i found him, he is so concerned and listens to everything that i have to say. he tells me that he will do everything possible to get my body to the point that i can have a baby he says not to give up. he has seen me on days that he isn't even in the office just so that i don't have to miss to much work. seeing how i drive 45 mins just to see him, he is a saint...randi h
