Hey! I'm TTC with PCOS & also on Tricare Prime! We're at Ft Rucker where there's only a clinic so I have to get referrals for everything. So far I've had no probs getting refferals.

I was misdiagnosed as not having PCOS about 4 yrs ago because my labs were done at the wrong time in my cycle. The nurse practioner on post did them at the right times in my cycle & her & the endocrinologist she sent me to said I def. have PCOS. We've been TTC since July & my lack of AF was the primary reason I went to her. I took all my prior records from the mis-diagnoses with me to my appt. so that helped her suspicisions. My PCM actually told me I needed to see the NP that she didn't handle "these issues".
Thank goodness she did. I'm lucky to have an awesome NP.

I thought I'd have to wait the full year of TTC but she said since I have PCOS they want to get me pregnant ASAP. I'm seeing the endo & an OB/GYN now who has increased my met & given me provera & clomid.

Good luck...hope everything is as easy for you as it's been for me.
