Marit are you waiting to see Dr Kase by any chance? We were referred to her too but couldn't wait so are seeing Dr Payton instead ... she's an ob/gyn with the fertility group. Kase isn't the only RE in that group ... Dr Chizen is a specialist too. We saw her when I was first diagnosed with PCOS and had to stop since we lived in Lanigan and didn't have our own car at the time.
Anyways I hope you get in to see her soon. I have heard only really great things about Kase.
Actually, I'm seeing doctor Khandwala...and who knows how long the wait will be! I'm getting my blood tests back on Monday (I hope) and we'll see what they say.
I hate waiting!

Hi there everyone! I live in Red Deer, Alberta. Have lived here basically my whole life. I was born in St. Catherines, ON. Going back there in two weeks for my cousins wedding and I can't wait, I haven't been back in about 8 years.

Hi everyone i'm from Miramichi, New Brunswick, I just found this site last week and was glad I've never met anyone else who has PCO, and wow I'm shocked at the number of people who do, this site has been a real help in relating things in normal terms.
Hey everyone, I am from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. If anyone is looking for an RE, there are one's in Regina and the wait is pretty short. About 3 months. Has anyone here ever seen Dr. Olatunbosun in Saskatoon? He's the head of fertility at the U of S.

Hey Merit and Jeanny,
I saw Dr.Chizen for 4 years in Saskatoon. She is awesome. Don't worry when they tell you the wait is a year. They told me that also and it was only 3 months. Keep your chin up. Dr. Kase is also excellent.
I'm originally from Toronto, but now live in the middle of nowhere (LOL) Brockville, Ontario
