 Very disappointed!
I went to an reproductive endo today and the nurse really doubts that I have PCOS. She thinks I am too thin and that is the problem. Yes, I am 5'9 and 120lbs but I have eaten what I have wanted most of my life. They want me to eat more and stop the low carb diet. I think they think I have some kind of eating disorder. Like thin people cannot have PCOS. I have been through this before. Prior to doing shots a different endo told me to eat everything in sight. I did but only gained weight in my middle and it wasn't pretty. Since that Dr. I went to a OBGY who DX me with PCOS as I had 20 follicles on each ovary. After over a year of Follistim and no ovulation, we tried met and collmid. No luck ovulating still. I really want to increase my met to 1500mg but it is hard when people don't believe your DX. I do not show to be IR but as others had said that doesn't mean much. I am going to go with my gut. I am trying to get a appt with the actual Dr. Wish me luck!!! Second and third opinions are sometimes what we need.
