Terrie, my dr. just said the same thing! I've been to 2 different dr.s, who did blood work for PCOS (one was an ob/gyn and the other was an endo) Both times they came back negative..so they didn't do anything further. This new ob/gyn I am seeing, said it doesn't matter if the tests come back negative. He said "if it walks like a duck, it's a duck" ;) I have had 3 miscarriages, no menstrual cycle (off and on) and have hypothyroidism. I am about 50 pds overweight and also have skin tags. The dr. has me on BC right now to get my periods started, then wants to me to start glucophage next month. We would like to have one more child (Thank God, we did have a baby boy in 1997 after the first two miscarriages, I had my 3rd miscarriage in 2001) The dr. is going to put me on Clomid very soon. Feel free to email me anytime. :) Lodemak@Hotmail.com
