Is there anyone in the Cincinnati, Ohio area who could recommend a doctor who WILL prescribe glucophage for PCOS even if you are not trying to conceive? I am a cyster and so is my sister. I have been taking glucophage for awhile and I am under the treatment of Dr. Glueck. My sister also has PCOS and is very overweight, about 350lbs. She was told by her doctor who treated her endometrial hyperplasia with a D&C that she "just needs to lose weight" and that "I will only put you on glucophage if you are trying to get pregnant." We have a strong family history of type II diabetes. It is angering me that she cannot get proper treatment because of some idiot's bias. She cannot go to Glueck because he is not covered under her insurance, BCBS Blue Access. The labs alone would cost thousands each visit. Really. I added mine up on my insurance statement and it was nearly 2600 for one visit's lab work. Anyway, does anyone out there know of anyone else in the Cincinnati, Ohio area? Thank you in advance. Rose

I go to Gerwe at http://www.obgynnky.com/. I am TTC, but she could call and ask. Gerwe is a really nice person and I have heard the practice is a good one. I live in NKY too..about 15 minutes from Burlington..IM me sometime..=)

I went to Dr. Jennifer Thie,
She is in Blue Ash, and she specializes in PCOS, infertility, and Menopause. She put me on Avandia, to prepare to concieve, and also just to decrease my health risks, as she knew at the time TTC was at least a couple of years off. I highly recommend her as she treats clients specific to PCOS, not TTC. Good Luck!
PS, I am on Cigna, but if I remember correctly (I think), I was on BCBS at the time when I went to her a few years ago. I am now TTC and using her getting ready to start IVF.
