Seems to me, from what you say, that PCOS is unlikely to be the culprit. But I'm not a doctor, so I could be completely wrong.

I've heard of leaky gut syndrome - apparently my MIL has it, but I don't know a lot about it. It appears to me that if what you are doing is aimed at becoming healthier, then it can't be bad, and could even perhaps help.

I know what you mean about the ticking clock thing - I'm rapidly approaching 33, and I've been at this TTC thing for two years now, with one year of that being IVF. But we think we've got all the problems sorted now, so it's just a matter of time, luck and the right embryo going back in. I have noticed that the wait to see a FS is significantly shorter than the wait to see other specialists - I've been able to get in to see two of them with a wait of only a couple of weeks, compared to the wait of a few months for other specialists. Are you located in Sydney?

Unfortunately, my experience is limited to PCOS and male factor infertility, so I'm not sure I can advise you beyond that.
