[quote=Anonymous]I went to my OBGYN yesterday for an ultrasound and check up as I'm on cycle day 65 and have had no period and tests have been negative. I got an ultrasound done first and the ultrasound tech asked me if I have ever been checked for PCOS as she can see the "string of pearls" in my left ovary. I told her no and she said my doctor would probably discuss it with me next. Once my doctor met with me 20 minutes later, she told me that my endometrium lining looks perfect. I asked about PCOS and said what the ultrasound tech said and her response was "yes I can see some of those and it wouldn't surprise me if you did have PCOS due to your irregular cycles." That's all she said about it and didn't go into more detail. She's know I'm trying to conceive and told me the only things I need to do is start taking folic acid and to go back on a progesterone pill but to make sure I take a pregnancy test every month, 10 days before starting the progesterone. I'm so confused as I know how serious PCOS can be and how hard it can be to get pregnant if you have it. She just seemed happy that my lining was good and thin and didn't act like anything else was an issue. She said I just want to make sure I'm having a cycle at least every 3 months. I feel like I need to find a new doctor as none of this makes sense to me. I asked her to check my thyroid levels and am waiting for that to come back but otherwise, that's all I got from her. I'm slightly irritated and upset that I didn't get more answers. Should I find a new doctor who actually will take the time to discuss all this with me and actually act concerned considering we are trying to have a baby?[/quote]
