Gals with PCOS

I'm looking for a new gyno and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Preferably it would be in Suffolk.

I'm not sure if there is really anyone that specializes but i'm concerned especially since I know that we may TTC in the next year or so. So many dr's still don't even know what PCOS is. I'm just not crazy about my current one.

TIA!

I have PCOS but my doctor is in Nassau (Garden City)
I go to Dr. Robert Dean but the last 2 times (cause he was delivering babies) I had to see his partner Dr. Tomack. Shes GREAT! I think i'm going to make her my regular Gyno actually
They are located on Stewart Ave in Garden city

I have PCOS but I haven't been to a gyno in years. My condition actually got a little better when I had my son 5 years ago.

It's such a relief when I hear about woman that have babies that have PCOS...in the past the dr has told me it will be really difficult. I know I haven't gotten pregnant so far Not that I was really trying but I have made mistakes..

I was just thinking the same thing. I get so upset when i see 'infertility' slapped on everything related to PCOS..makes me so sad. But i do know people who havent gotten preggers wth it..so theres hope for us!

That's what they told me too!! They actually wanted to do an emergency hysterectomy when I was having my appendix out at 19 years old. My mother told them no way. Anyway...with that said, I have a very healthy son. MY ob wanted to put me on bed rest when I was 2 months pregnant but I have to make money to eat and support us so I continued working but work sent a car to get me everyday.

Thanks, it definetely is frustrating to say the least. In my process I think i've been on every single BCP there is out there and have had problems. Either the pain is way too severe or I get migraines or other thngs...The doctor put me on Seasonique which confuses me since they say you're supposed to have it every month??

If I don't take anything, i simply don't get my period.

I have a great doctor in Suffolk...I don't have PCOS but she is wonderful. her name is Leah Squicciarini. She is located in West Islip at Comprehensive OBGYN. Also, my sisters boyfriend Mike Ketcham works there as well and is apparently (id never use him as my doc!) quite good.

My sister is also an OBGYN so if you need any names or help for doctors in suffolk just let me know!

I was on the BCP since I was about 11. I was the opposite. When I wasn't on the BCP, I had it for many days heavy with extreme pain. I ended up getting pregnant 1 year after I stopped the pill.

Doesn't is svck! I've been on em since about 13 and everyone always looks at me funny when I picked them up at the pharmacy.

Are you going to try again?

No I am done. My pregnancy ******!! I had Diabetes and toxcimia (have no idea how to spell it) plus I gained about 70 pounds. I am done!! Oh I said that already. One is all I can handle. I was meant to be a mom or one not a mom to many.

---

It's funny because I was on it for a few years maybe 7-8 years ago and didn't have problems. Then I started taking Glucophage and it was helping me, plus at the time I was single and not doing anything so I stopped the BCP completely. I restarted after I met FH and had problems on it this time around. I was on it and several others for about 6 months at a time.

That wasn't because of PCOS though?

I was tested for diabetes and thankfully it showed i didnt have it, but they wanted me to go on Glucophage anyway. I said no i'll just stick it out (cause i was younger at the time) and after being on nothing and never ever getting my period, and after trying all different BCP, i finally stumbled on Loestrin and its the only one that works lol I remember back in the day when I would tell my mom that I havent had my period in 9 months she would FREAK out! haha little did she know i had a major problem lol
