    I will look up studies then thank you :)
    And yeah, having babies seems to be the main thing, I'm very much disinterested towards having children so I don't want my ability to reproduce to come before my health, I've never even once been asked if it's something that I actually hope for in the future.
    When I was referred to the hospitals specialist area by my GP it turned out to be the fertility clinic of the hospital, I don't really know what else I expected.
    I just hope the doctor I intend to see will listen to me and understand me

    I'm done having babies - and I still have to treat my PCOS. I wonder how that fits into their narrow minded attitudes? Since I'm done having kids, I don't need to fix it? If I didn't, I'd die slowly and painfully, and I'm so not buying that ticket...

    Definitely thanks to the sanity inducing friendship and advice of everyone here!

    If they're like my latest GP, it's "correct" that since you're done having kids, you don't need to fix it. :noway:

    Then I thank the Gods for my unconventional PCP and my amazingly innovative Endocrinologist!

    do you have women health doctors over there? might be worth looking into and see if they do anything with PCOS treatment. I was diagnosed by an OBGYN at 15 but at that point I was just told this is what you have and here's birth control. I self educated and now as an adult am really looking at it and making it better.

    the only females are the GP's, there were no female doctors at the fertility clinic. birth control seems to be the first thing they throw at us but I haven't tried that as besides pcos I don't need it and I have migraines so it wasn't the best option

    Women's health doctors do not need to be female.

    Agreed! Some of the best, most intuitive doctors I've had for gynecology, labor and delivery, and endocrinology have been male. It's all about your comfort zone and your faith in the doctor's ability!
