**Worried** How long have you been trying?

[minuet]

Six years this past June before we stopped.

We were getting ready to see a fertility specialist before we were abruptly told that they don't accept my insurance, so we don't know what we are going to do. I am suspicious that I have PCOS and that was what I wanted to discuss with the fertility specialist. We can't afford anything above what we've already tried (eight cycles of Clomid) and have ruled out adoption for a myriad of reasons.

Aww you sound like me with the wacky periods and no ovulation. So aggravating!

I recently got insurance and it doesn't cover anything fertility related so we are going to have to pay out of pocket for me to get checked out. Its frustrating that insurance doesn't cover this sort of thing!

I'm not sure where you live but I'm in the US and my regular gynecologist told me she could do a few things for fertility and code them so im that the insurance picked it up as testing and treatment for pcos, which is considered a medical treatment that affects more than just fertility. Of course, most of the obvious fertility stuff is still not covered, but maybe you could ask what they can do that's covered?

Everyone keeps telling me not to stress about it!
Its stresses me out more when they tell me not to stress!

Whenever/If-ever we decide to start trying again we are probably going to start completely over with the testing and a completely different gynecologist. I live in Alabama and was using a doctor in Mississippi purely out of convenience since I work a rock's throw from the state line. I'm considering using a gynecologist in the next town north of me, since that city is much bigger with more of them.

I'm just not ready to go through all that again yet. I'm still pretty emotional about the whole deal with the Clomid not working and all. So for the time being, I'm just keeping an eye on how my cycles go and NTNP for now.

Thanks. I suspect I have PCOS and everything I need to get checked out is related to that, so hopefully it should come up as you say, under medical instead of fertility.
