Ok so let me first start off by saying that I had RNY in Aug 2011 and got married 12-12-12. We have been trying to get pregnant prior to us getting married. My periods were never normal prior to surgery and well still are not normal now. I have lost right at 180lbs since surgery. So I went to the doc to help figure out what was going on with me and why my cycle has not/never been regular. They did blood work and an inner ultrasound to look at my ovaries. Well doc came back and said that my ovaries are covered in cysts and that I needed to take progestrone for ten days and then I would get my period and then take a round of clomid. Now this was back in jan and I still had not gotten my cycle. After the first month I called the doc back and told him I had not gotten my cycle and he said okay to come in and we will do more lab work and try estrogen with the progestrone. Also at this time my annual came back funky and they did a biopsy at this time as well which came back okay. So we did 30 days of estrogen and the last ten days of that I did the estrogen and progestrone. So again no period, went back cause doc was concerned and wanted me to see another doc in the practice to see if he could see anything. So I went and the other doc order blood work and also looked over the ultrasound again and said that my lining was only a 2 and normal is 8-10 and Pcos range is 13-15 and was worried why mine was only at a 2 without have had a cycle. So he up my dose of estrogen and I went on my way. Got a call Sunday afternoon( was asleeo due to working third) but no msg was left. called the doc on mon he was out nurse said that he called cause my estrogen level came back low, I said ok. Well yesterday doc called and told me that my estrogen was extremely low (27) and normal is 170-210, that my levels were post menapausal, granted I don't turn thirty till the end of the month. Do not really know what I am looking for I am just frustrated, upset, pissed, sad and everything in between. So now I go back in may for more labs and another ultrasound. The only thing I want in lif was a family.

Are you seeing just a regular ob/gyn or a reproductive endocrinologist???

Right now just a regular ob/gyn because the health insurance I have until June 1st does not cover infertility, but as of june 1st I am going to go to a specialist.

I agree with the others in that you should see a specialist. My insurance does not cover infertility treatments either, but initial visits to a RE are covered for diagnostic purposes to confirm that is truly the issue. In this case, I would definitely want a 2nd opinion. I had similar issues due to PCOS and had low hormones but was able to get that under control with medications, treatment, etc and conceived my 1st son this way who is now 5 years old. Good Luck.

There are quite a few PCOSers here.  I echo what everyone else says...get thee to an RE stat!  My insurance doesn't cover infertility either but does cover diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause.  PCOS is a valid reason to see an RE.
