Expertise
I can answer questions about current medical and non medical treatments for PCOS. I can also explain what you might expect when you see a Reproductive Endocrinologist and advise on what questions you might ask your Dr. I cannot diagnose or suggest specific treatments for you, I am not a Dr.
Experience
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1997 and have heavily researched treatment options and am currently using an experimental treatment thru my endocrinologists office.
