Hi there

I'm a kiwi, so I don't know about aussie doctors. But I only started getting sorted when I started seeing gynecologists, my GP and women's health clinic for years just put me on the pill and told me I had "hormonal problems". I know how you must feel.

Read as much as you can and go to specialists, rather than your GP. If you don't feel right at one specialist, change to another, or try even going to a fertility specialist right away.

Someone I know recently went to a fertility specialist who gave her an examination and took her right through everything about PCOS. Before that, her doctors had given her pretty vague information, but the specialist has been awesome.

I hope that helps and best of luck!!!
