Bit confused...!

[sarah1]

Hello ladies

I'm a tad confused by the report I received this morning. Its from the hysteroscopy I had a few weeks ago. It says I have a 'broad polyp' at junction of cervix and in lower uterine segment. When the fertility specialist saw it last week she said it was in the cavity and acting like an IUD (is that the right thing?) stopping me getting pregnant, which makes sense since we cant conceive.

It also says my ovaries look normal. Last week I was shown on a scan my enlarged ovaries covered in cysts from the PCOS.

It also says (this is the worst bit) 'I have not obtained any biposies as she does not have any menstrual problems'. The whole reason I went for the dammned thing was because I had menstrual problems! - long cycle, mid cycle bleeding etc etc etc which I explained to this actual doctor before the procedure. The infertility thing was second to all that.

Makes you feel really safe with the NHS doesn't it?!!!

I'm so mad I now have to wait sooooooooooooooo long to have the same procedure done again to remove the polyp when she should have just done it at the time. Its such a painful procedure aswell! Also, I've read (a lot) about this, and they are supposed to test polyp tissue for cancerous cells. Again, well done NHS since its taken them a year to get this far since they first saw it. I really want to complain to someone or get some answers but dont know where to start.

Rant over. I'm calm now. Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My god that must be so frustrating for you.

It's not fair that you should have to go through that all that again. Someone should expain to how this has happened and why certain things were missed? That is totally unexceptable and they shouldn't get away with it!!

NHS makes you so mad sometimes.

I hope you find some answers soon Sarah xx

Hey Hun,

OMG what a nightmare I'm so sorry Hun, I've been there with my colposcopy nightmare.

All I can suggest is asking to speak to the patient care manager from that department, I ended up speaking to one after I was messed around and misdiagnosed and as a result I got treated properly, at the end of the day if they don't treat you properly or make mistakes then you can take legal action if you complain then they will suspect that's the route you'll be taking and panic and make sure you get treated properly.

Have you spoken to your GP, I would if I were you, mine was disgusted at the way I was treated and told me to complain.

I hope you get sorted soon.

xx

Thanks girls Maybe - my GP was the worst one! He wouldn't refer me and said I'd never get clomid or other medication cos of my age. I had to go to a diff one just to get referred. I'm so tired of being given a million different answers, I have just gone round and round and round in circles! Strange symptoms/not pg, Scan, misdiagnosis/telling me its nothing....then it all happens again! I've had about 5 scans in the last year, they just dont follow anything up. Its all happened with diff gps and diff departments in the hospital so I don't know where to start. Just feel like we're stuck waiting now until next fertility appt at end of June, where I think they actually have things correct am just mad its taken so long. I thought I'd deal with it ok but I just feel like I'm at the end of a really long road of nothing atm. If I was rich and thought I'd win I'd deffo try and take legal action! Hope you are ok xxxxxxxx

Hey Hun,

So sorry you're having to go through all this, I know it would cost a fortune to take legal action but if you make them think you might....

Can you not speak to someone, I think it's just soooo bad you've been left a year, I'm sure you'll be fine but you have a life and TTC that you need to get on with.

Maybe OH can speak to someone?

Don't give up get the "Assertive Sarah" head back on and show them who's boss!

Thanks.... I'll try....
I have written a letter about the awful GP who wouldn't refer me or anything.

I am also making a list of everything that has happened but I am not sure where to send the compaint to - some of docs were at hospital, some at GP's and some at health centre! The assisted conception unit are the only people who seem to have right answers so don't want them to get the brunt of it.

I can't change anything now I'm just sad about the last 14/15 months being so difficult for nothing xxxxxx
