if i were you, i would get a second opinion, from a reproductive endocrinologist. most doctors are eager to jump the gun on removing body parts that seem to give us trouble, but they dont realize that there is an underlying problem (that is probably quite treatable) that is really at the root of it all.
dont let them take your ovary! at least not without a second opinion from a doctor who KNOWS about reproductive endocrinology. RE's are doctors that have at LEAST three extra years training in this field, and although most doctors (ob/gyns, and gen practitioners) wont admit it, they just dont have the knowledge or know-how to deal with PCOS in its entirety.
