TTC With PCOS

Li

I’m active duty Navy and I’m on month 3 of TTC. I just saw my medical provider on the ship to get a refill of my Metformin and Prenatals, and mentioned that I didn’t ovulate this month. She said it’s supposed to be 12 months before she can even refer me to a specialist!

Does everyone else with PCOS have to wait this long, or is it because I’m on sea duty?
