Oh bless your heart! I know how you feel cause I've been there!
After my son was born 5 years ago I started the Depo shot. Stopped July 2003 to TTC #2. I went through infertility. Docs blamed it on Depo. About a year and a half later I was still not O'ing so my gyno gave me Clomid. No O on 50mg, but did O on 100mg. I got preggo. Had a missed m/c at 9.5 weeks and had to have a D&C. We were devistated! Then last November I took Clomid again cause I still was not O'ing and got preggo but m/c'ed at 4.6 weeks. Anyway, for at least a year (probably longer) I have been asking my gyno about PCOS because I was anovulatory, history of large cysts, mother was PCOS, mother and father are diabetic, and false +'s on OPK's. He said no, I didn't look PCOS. I even asked my family doc and 2 of his nurse practitioners and they ALL said no, I didn't look PCOS. Argh!!!!! As a matter of fact, the day before I got Met on my own (read my siggy), I had gone to my family doc with researched info from the net about PCOS without physical appearance and stuff like that. He didn't even read any of it!!!! He said I was not overweight and didn't have facial hair. I begged him to precribe me Met "just to see". He refused. I started crying because I was at my wits end. I knew in my heart that I was PCOS. By the time the nurse came in to give me my papers to take up front, I had the snubs (you know where when you breath it's all jerky). So I made up my mind to get Met on my own. I started it Jan 11th and used NPC about a week later and got AF. I was taking 1000mg and I ovulated without fertility meds Feb 13th!!!! Yay!
I wanted to tell you my story so if your doc won't listen, don't give up!!!!!!
