I'd actually gone to my GP to get a referral to a new specialist a while back, he talked me into waiting to see if my DH had a varicocele to explain his bad SA results, and to see if the clomid would work - just so I had more information to take to the specialist when I did go. I guess we've got the answers we need now.

Cailin, I'd really appreciate it if you could get hold of names of PCOS specialists in Sydney, particularly in the north-west areas of Sydney. At least then I have a range of options and can discuss with my GP which one might be the best one for me.

I know some people prefer a non-intrusive approach to dealing with infertility, but I've had quite a few different health problems over the years, and I've come to appreciate the aggressive, leave no stones unturned approach to dealing with things. Everything is much less scary when you know what's going on in your body at each stage. I like specialists who give me all the information and let me participate in the decision making process and who can accept that I'm going to do a lot of reading and research of my own.

Lea, the thing that worries me with regards to Kim Matthews is the fact that PCOS isn't her area of special focus. I'm sure she's wonderful, but I want someone who's going to know the finer details of the condition... particularly as I don't seem to fit the typical profile of a woman with PCOS.
