Just talked to my RE...
The past few days have been really hectic and his assistant is out of the office today as well as this past Friday. I called my dr on thurs night, got the answering service who was very nasty to me (3 different times trying to get my lab results) then called friday, spoke w/ the fill in and she had the head nurse call me back.
I spoke w/ her and she told me she'd have my dr call me back.... he never did. I missed a call from their office around 1:00 friday afternoon on my HOME phone, even though I've always given them my cell # to contact me at since I'm never at home.  No one ever left a message when they called, and they never called my cell.
I called them back several times immediately after missing the call, and never got thru to anyone as it was their lunch hour. I left a message on the nurses line stating what had happened and to please call me themselves (the nurses) or have my dr call me back... no one ever did.
All weekend I was annoyed b/c I'm just kind of floating along and feeling very in the dark. This is the first time I've had an IUI cancelled and I didn't know what to do next.
I finally called again this morning and got the same fill in. My dr called me right back and was FURIOUS when I told him about the fact that I've been calling him since thursday afternoon -- he said the message he was just given was the first time he got a message that I had called.  He was really mad about the answering service as well, so I have a feeling they'll be getting a call. He apologized.
He then told me that I may want to consider OVARIAN DRILLING  He said it's not a procedure that's done frequently, but that he thinks there's a good shot that I would start to ovulate on my own afterwards, and that then I wouldn't need IVF, and wouldn't need such powerful medications to get pg.
About 10 years ago, when I was diagnosed w/ PCOS, I did A LOT of research and ALWAYS saw that ovarian drilling was frowned upon. I'm freaking out right now!!!!! He also called in provera to get me a period asap, but I decided after talking w/ him that I just want to take a few days to let my body rest---- it's been thru a lot of meds and sonos and bloodwork in the past month and i feel like it needs a break!!! UGH- why is everything so frustrating??!?!?!?!?

Re: Just talked to my RE...
Ovarian drilling used to be the primary treatment for PCOS. It is not very common these days.
I would still go for your consult at LI-IVF and make an apointment at RSNY too so you can get a few different opinions on what the best course of action for you is.

I am totally against it also. I'm actually really upset that my RE even suggested it, even though I know he's just trying to help.
I made the mistake of watching the video
 I am so terrified of things going near my belly button- I dont' know why--- so there's NO way I could ever get this surgery. Besides the fact, no one is going to remove parts of my ovaries!! 
Thanks!!!

ITA. That sounds very invasive and something I would definately want other opinions on. Sorry you had such a hard time getting ahold of your doc, definately unacceptable

I agree also- A second opinion (or even a 3rd) might just make the difference for you
