She was very happy & excited for me (even gave me a hug)! I'll definitely continue to see her to help manage my PCOS symptoms.

It's quite a drive for us, about 30-40 minutes but we wanted to stay within the UPenn family to make it easier for my doctors to work with each other. I also see Dr. Randell at UPenn for the endometrial cancer I was diagnosed with in March (I wish someone had told me that PCOS untreated can lead to cancer). I'm curious about your treatment but I don't want to make you uncomfortable so if you don't feel like answering then don't sweat it or if you prefer you can PM me. I've only had one appointment with her so far and she was very friendly and proactive but my situation is a bit different than most gals here because if the cancer. I only have 3 months (starting 3 months from now) to TTC before my next biopsy so I want to make sure I get started quickly and efficiently. Can you tell me what you did to get pregnant and which way Dr. Dokras leaned? What I mean is, what meds did you take, procedures did you try, natural remedies or alternative therapies? I'm sorry if I'm prying to much. Even if you don't reply I already feel better about seeing her (after so many terrible docs) knowing you had a good experience with her. I hope you have a H&H pregnancy
