Are Reproductive Centers Only Designed to Deal With IVF and More Severe Procedures?

Question by Megan: Are Reproductive Centers only designed to deal with IVF and more severe procedures?
My husband and I recently moved to a new state and are trying to conceive. Due to PCOS, it’s been difficult and we would like to get a prescription for Clomid. We were referred to a local fertility center by a coworker, however it appears that they only deal with severe cases of infertility. When we called to make an appointment, we specifically asked if we could just start out treatment with Clomid before attempting something more extreme, like IVF. They simply told me to “have all of my questions ready for the doctor during our consultation.” The consultation is $ 550, and I’d rather not waste the money to be told the doctor only does invasive procedures.

OK, I have serious internet addiction and my school grades/personal life has taken quite a hit because of it last year.

I can even spend a whole night and a whole day just in front of my computer. Please help me. Now I’ve got tons of school hw, and studying to do before school starts in September, and I am really desperate!
