Hi, I have been diagnosed with PCOS about 7 months ago. I curetnly am taking metphorman and clomid (150) and still am not ovulating. My OB wants me to seek out a specialist but my insurance doesnt cover any of the infertility issues. I am trying to decide a good dr to go to. Please help if you can. My dr refered me to the SHER institute or a dr at st. lukes i think named dr pieneda? if you have any input on this matter please let me know. I am so overwelmed right now!!!
I had PCOS with my first child (born jan 1,2007) I was referred to Dr. Anthony Pearlstone and was really happy with him. He is now located in Missouri Baptist. You can google him to find out more info about him. Good luck!
I saw Dr. Pieneda and Dr. Silber, but both did not help. After a few years later, I saw an endocronologist who diagnosed me with PCOS and went to Dr. Pearlstone who was highly recommended. We loved him and we gave birth to twins 6 months ago. Dr. Pearlstone seemed to explain things best to me than the other doctors and it didn't feel like he was after our money. Good luck!
I have the same thing (PCOS and no fertility ins coverage). Dr Pearlstone gives you much reduced prices if you don't have insurance and the best part was he got me pregnant twice with IUI. Nurses are very sweet. Hang in there.
I loved Dr. Pineda. He is a reproductive endocrinologist at St. Lukes. His staff is also wonderful. I failed to conceive after 5 years of trying on my own. After 6 months with Dr. Pineda, I was pregnant. (I now have a healthy 3 year old boy.) My insurance does not cover infertility either. It was a tough decision financially at the time, but it all worked out and I am so thankful now that I saw Dr. Pineda.
Good Luck!
