My doctor doesn't know much, I'm sorry to say. And I can't find another decent gp who knows anything about PCOS. Who do you all see? Is there anybody good out there?

Where were you looking for one? In Winnipeg or elsewhere? I was referred to the Heartland Fertility Clinic by my OB/GYN and was set up with Dr. Lee. He's a very sweet doctor, very to the point, but I absolutely adore him! I know there is a doc at the Winnipeg Clinic that Chantal can attest to as well 
Good luck!

Yup - I like Dr. Salamon at the Wpg Clinic. I've found that seeing her every so often for PCOS management and then having a GP for everything else works really good. The GPs really don't know much about PCOS...sad.
Tracy - you're due??!! Any sign of the little one making it's enterance? | |

omg Chantal, this is day #2 overdue. And no signs lmao
We're thinking it's a boy because he's late (just like dad ALWAYS is)! Dr. Seager said she won't let me go past 10days over so it's a waiting game now! At my checkup yesterday I was 1cm (she said almost 2 but I think was being generous lol) but the baby's head is still really high so here I sit!!
*sigh*

lol. You just never know though, right?? My friend saw her doctor when she was pregnant and the doc said that her body wasn't prepping at all for labour (baby still high, closed cervix, etc). She phoned me that night super upset because she was sure baby was on its way...and she went into labour and delivered the baby that night!
Hang in there...it'll be anytime! | |

Thank you for giving me hope!! LOL That's all I got right now
I'll let you know what's going on! (I think it may happen when we're out in Anola for a family reunion tomorrow hehehe)

Yes, I am looking in Winnipeg, although Winkler/Morden/Altona would be ok.
Is Dr. Salamon a gp? My current gp is reluctant to do referrals, and won't do it at this point for either PCOS or infertility. She's having me try Clomid now -- even though my cycles are relatively normal and I always o -- and I don't even know if my tubes are blocked or anything like that. Plus, she has no clue about the role of progesterone for cysters. Mine is very low but she wouldn't prescribe a supplement! How could she get out of medical school without knowing this stuff?
Sorry, I'm very frustrated right now!
Thanks for the help! I know there's a hotline out there for doctors accepting new patients. Maybe I'll try that again. I NEED a doctor who will let me do research on my own condition and who will listen to me when I tell them what I think! (I'm an educated person who does copious amounts of research on everything. My doc really dislikes this and would prefer that I would just trust her on everything. Sorry, I don't do that.)

Ooh, I just thought of something. I've been in emergency/urgent care twice in Boundary Trails hospital -- related to whiplash, not PCOS -- where I've mentioned to several different physicians that I have PCOS. Both were South African doctors and both were familiar with the condition. Maybe South African doctors get more training about this? And there are more South African doctors in the rural communities. Maybe I'll just try Winkler or Altona right off the bat. Or maybe Steinbach . . .

In Manitoba, you can find a family doctor by calling the Family Doctor Connection Line at 204-786-7111 or toll free 866-690-8260. TTY/TDD call 711 relay service or 1-800-855-0511. You will be informed which doctors in your neighbourhood are accepting new patients, and how to get in touch with them.
I found it on this website: http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/guide/2/physician.html
HTH!!
Tracy

*sigh* lol No I have not!! My doc filled out the paperwork to schedule an induction so I'm to expect a phone call from the hospital on the weekend to let me know when I'm to come in! (Unless of course by some miracle this little one decides to show up before then) but I really doubt it lol
And you're VERY welcome Hope you're able to get somewhere with it!
