I have PCOS and 37. I ended up with 28 eggs and after the great I ended up with 3 pgt euploids and 1 mosaic embryos.

PCOS can be fine unless you have other issues.

We did basic protocols and I was on metformin and ovavite w coq10

I don't think you understood what I was saying my RE and OB REFUSED to put me on metformin or anything that would improve my disease and egg quality. This includes multiple REs I consulted with.

If you can recommend your RE that would be great.

Ah sorry. Yes I misunderstood.

While my REI started me on metformin I followed up with refills with my endocrinologist. It might be worth looking into a regular endocrinologist to treat the PCOS. Especially if this Dr isn't on top of the latest research - you can safely take during pregnancy and for women with PCOS is can help prevent late miscarriage.

Theralogix sells ovavite- prenatal for advanced maternal age with coq10 over the counter. No rx needed. Just tell REI you're taking a prenatal. My REI said it was safe during ER and transfer.

We went to the NYU fertility center in NYC. They have/had the best sart stats on the east coast at the time of our treatment. And the best lab - neck in neck with Cornell.

I'm not a big it starts with the egg fan but a lot of people rec that book for egg quality and most is OTC - you don't need REI to prescribe. Some just hate supplements or going off script from set protocols.

Already did, also shut down by endocrinologist saying it isn't a real disease they treat. If you have an endo to recommend too that would be great.

You need to advocate for yourself. You're actually saying every endocrinologist in the area told you PCOS isn't a real disease? That's insanity. Endos treat PCOS and diabetes and other endocrine disorders. They can run labs and find out if you're insulin resistance.

Our Drs are now based in Manhattan not sure if that works for you. But I really wouldn't take no for an answer. Try a different practice or Google PCOS treatment + your area. A quick search- the district center for integrative medicine pops up. They treat PCOS. If your labs are coming back not showing PCOS or you don't have the strong of pearls on an exam that sure they won't great it but if you have symptoms and can get a diagnosis - which honestly it's not hard so many women have PCOS and I'm not saying metformin is the best treatment but its pretty widely prescribed. They even have online health companies that will treat you virtually. You can also look up non rx ways to treat PCOS- you don't need a Dr for inositol, spearmint tea, berberine. Take some control back.

I'm a scientist so it's not like I don't advocate for myself or point out how wrong they are, but yes I've met with 2 REs 3 OBs 2 primary cares and 1 endocrinologist and all believe that PCOS is not a real disease. I even have hyperinsulinemia and am well on the way to type 2, but, again, to them that isn't type 2, my A1C is normal and therefore doesn't deserve to be treated. Every single doctor tells me to see a different doctor. So PCM said see the RE, RE said I love PCOS and won't treat it IVF will solved everything, OB said see endo or bariatric clinic (I'min no way a candidate for bariatric surgery), endo said not my problem and I don't want to prescribe metformin.

So if anyone has physicians in the DC area or ones willing to do telehealth, I'm all for it.
