Hi everyone. I'm another newbie on here. I was diagnosed in 2002. The specialist in Ipswich didn't seem to give a damn and basically told me to come back when i had lost weight and wanted to try for a baby (PM me if you want his details).

Hubby and I have been TTC for 7 months now with no luck. I finally found a GP who was willing to help me, who did blood tests and a pelvic uss. Essentially all came back normal, all except for my uterine lining being 6 mm (a little thin), and my Oestrogen was low. All my other PCOS hormones came back normal. I have been on metformin and Pre-natal Vitamins for over a year now. My periods are irregular but it you average them out over the year I average one per month. I am also obese. Hubby has not been tested for infertility yet. We both don't drink or smoke.

I live in Toowoomba QLD, so there is not much choice of ob/gyns. But the one that specializes in PCOS is Dr. John Esler. He is expensive and his appointments seem rushed, but he knows what he is talking about thats for sure. I saw him over a year ago for PCOS, and he told me to come back when I am ready to discuss having a baby, and put me on the metformin to start off with.
