Blog Challenege, Day 11

Talk about how you chose your RE.

When I was first diagnosed, I was extremely unhappy with the way that my OB/GYN handled it.  I just felt like she didn't really explain anything, just that I would need to use Clomid.  That was very frustrating for me.  I wanted someone who could explain what PCOS was and who seemed to really understand it.  I had thought at first the I would go straight to an RE.  The more I researched online, the more I didn't feel like that was my personal best choice at the moment.  I read some iffy reviews about a lot of the REs in my area.  I also feel like if I went there it would be all about the money, not about what I want.  I don't want to have an IUI.  I don't want to have IVF.  Those tend to be what REs push for.  So, I researched more and found Dr. C.  I was and still am very happy with him.  the first time I went to see him he knew about my experience with my other Dr.  I had told the nurse about it and I guess she relayed the info to him.  He made sure to explain EVERYTHING to me and asked me multiple times if I had any questions.  Each time I have seen him since, he always takes his time and is a very nice guy.  I think it helps that he has had a few family members who have been diagnosed with PCOS while TTC.
