Hi Beth,

I live in the penrith area as well and also have PCOS. I can highly recommend Dr Derek Lok at Sydney IVF, you can have treatment with him either in the Sydney Office or Liverpool.

With my PCOS first thing they did for fertility was put me on Metformin (in a particular Diabex XR) - some really interesting research from the leading endocroligist in Sydney Dr Warren Kidson about how Metformin can reduce miscarriage rates in women with PCOS as well as increase pregnancy rates - definetly worth investigating if you are not already on it. Great article on it is - http://www.posaa.asn.au/files/PCOS%20Guide.pdf

I believe the more information the better! A FS will give you more detailed information about your fertility and your partners, allowing you to make a more informed decision on what to do next. So I say go for it, make an appointment with a FS what have you got to lose?? You definitely have more to gain through the process

Best of Luck

Good Luck
