PCOS is driving me batty

I have this condition called PCOS – basically my ovaries don’t release the eggs after they mature and they form “cysts” on my ovaries. At least that’s how my doctor explained it to me. This can also result in things like hormone imbalances or can be caused by hormone imbalances. Again, this is how the doctor explained it to me. Now since having kids is difficult if you have PCOS, it drives a friend of mine batty that they won’t treat hers because she wants kids. I’m not really wanting to have kids so it doesn’t bother me as much. However, some of the other effects of the hormone imbalance drive me batty – acne, excess hair, etc. My doctor is dragging his feet on doing the hormone tests though, so I have no idea if it’s an estrogen problem, a progesterone problem, if I create too much testosterone (yes women DO produce that, just not as much) or what. He’s driving me nuts with it and frankly, I’m about ready to just find me a new doctor. I just hate to do so because he already knows how he’s treating my PCOS. *sigh*
