I saw in your post below that you went to Penn Health at Radnor.  Who did you see there that specialized in PCOS?  I went there for DD but wasn't that impressed and was thinking of looking for somewhere else when we TTC#2.  Maybe I just need to see another dr. at that practice.

    Dr. Maureen Kelly of Penn Health for Women at Radnor came recommended to me from Dr. Ronald Feinberg of Christiana Hospital's Reproductive Associates of Delaware.(Found Dr. Feinberg via the PCOS forum -- www.soulcysters.net -- he wrote a book on PCOS, which he refers to as 'Syndrome O." (See Amazon.com)

    Prior to Dr. Feinberg, I'd seen Dr. Michael Glassner of Main Line Fertility, who I would not recommend unless you were looking for an IVF expert (I've heard from multiple women who had successful IVF treatments & babies under his care.)

    While I'm making recommendations, I'd like to add that I also am a fan of Letrozole. If you don't fancy clomid (and who could with the hot flashes?) it was a great alternative for me. I especially liked that there was a lower risk of multiple follicles. And it got me pregnant on the first cycle we tried it.

    Good Luck with #2 Alli!

    Thanks, I will have to try Dr. Kelly when I go back.   Yeah I was on Clomid for 3 cycles and it didn't work for me, and the side effects were horrible so I will look into Letrozole to get more information.

    Have you had any ultrasounds yet, since having the baby? I've heard that sometimes just the experience of having a baby can reduce/undo some of the ovary-issues, because having a baby (and all the hormonal changes that go with it) can be like hitting restart on your reproductive system.

    No I haven't yet.  I am still breastfeeding, so I haven't gotten to the point of getting ready to go back to the dr. or on drugs yet. I have heard that too, that it kind of fixes itself after getting pregnant.  I am hoping that happens with me, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
