Gynaecologist for PCOS

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good gynaecologist that specialises in PCOS, (preferably not too far from JVC). I was diagnosed few months back after scans revealed many cysts and bloods showed insulin resistance. I feel like th Dr im seeing now just isn't bothered, I'm feeling really down trying to manage my symptoms including massive mood swings and she just doesn't seem concerned with anything other than getting my weight down (which btw I'm only about 5kg overweight so not a massive amount) I know th weight loss can help but when th previous 20kg or so hasn't, I can't see this last few making much of a difference. Thanks in advance! Hi kerrym, I was in same boat las year. Jumped to 3 gynecologists, they all were equally unconcerned and useless. The only thing helped was losing eight, taking care of diet and moving a lot. I am taking yaz and metaformin medicine, both have helped a lot. I don't have any more symptoms of uncomfortable mood swings .... Excepts the days when I eat too much of carbs. Reducing weigh does make difference and your best doctor will be your body. Listen to it when you eat clean and move a lot. Verses.... When you don't mvoe or eat unhealthy. You will get to know and can adjust your life accordingly. I hope you get some good doctor.... But I did not. And I am glad I learnt what my body tells me :) I have been slowly making changes to my diet (limiting any white bread/rice/pasta and sugar swapped for sweetener) but I've not cut out completely as I know I could never stick to that. I'm having more fruit and veg in my diet instead of sweets etc but I have not found any link between diet and mood, it's always been round my cycle, mainly intense mood swings for the last 2-3 days of one cycle and first 1-2 days of the next. The rest of the time it is more of i'll have a random day or two anywhere in my cycle where my mood is just incredibly low, i'm just totally numb. These days i do not worry about so much as I have been previously diagnosed with depression and i know they will pass, but the mood swings are driving me and my husband insane as I can literally go from having the time of my life to totally distraught and pushing everyone away the next. When i mentioned this to my doctor she replied with 'hmm.' not even a word! Most of my knowledge about anything to do with PCOS has been from the internet and a friend who was diagnosed some years ago because she's given me so little help when i've asked any questions. I am taking metformin 1 tab 2 times a day (though this may be increased shortly after my latest blood results come in) as well as several herbal remedies (omega 3, inositol, vitex and evening primrose). I have heard that the contraceptive pill like yaz can help but I don't want to go down that route again as the last time I came off contraceptive was very hard. I basically need to find a good dr who can just explain what is going on, how i can limit symptoms, any other medications or herbal remedies that may help, literally just the information side of things and actually listen to what i'm saying rather than just making noises to acknowledge i've spoken.
