He wouldn't run any blood test, and didn't schedule an ultra sound... He just wrote out a Rx for 1000mg of Metformin a day for 12 months. The only reason he told me to come back was if i decided to get pregnant.. (i want a baby, but cant afford insurance or the treatment of my PCOS let alone a baby)

I'm just unsure of what to do...

I'm beginning to become very upset and depressed.

I'm trying really hard to find a job but i have NO experience in anything and i live in a VERY small town.

Some one have any suggestions of what i can do?

How do you get insurance through your state???

Hon I know your pain. Right now I have insurance thru CoverTN (insurance from Tennessee) and well I can't afford the premium. My husband is out of work and I barely make ends meet and i get 265 a week and work 40 hours. I wish I could find something here. I wish I could find a Dr. that will take me and is cheap but I know there's no such thing.
