gynae appt last week

[sarah1]

Hi, apologies for being away! Been really busy with a work project and had a nice break away to the seaside...needed it.

So went for gynae appt last week. The woman was v condescending and thought it was all a joke. 'Are you even in a stable relationship?' was one of her questions. To which I replied 'I'm married.' Idiot (I didn't say that bit, lol). Why does that make a difference to having something wrong with you....? Then there was this nurse who sat and stared at me throughout!

She said it looks like I don't have PCOS, just high testosterone, well done again NHS. She said sometimes you can just 'have it', but didn't really say how to get it lower again. She said it could be my weight loss (and also said I looked good, very strange giggly woman for a gynae). The nasty gp a few weeks ago said my weight loss was the reason i wasn't conceiveing, she said its nothing to do with that.

She examined me and took (more) swabs to be sent off. I'm being sent for a hysteroscopy which will prob be after my fertility appt. She said it seems likely I'll conceive soon because I already have. I tried to explain that the problems I've had and also this thing on the scans and the reason they are doing the hysteroscopy in the first place have all appeared since the miscarriage - think she understood, sort of.

So as you can imagine I'm pretty worried. Wondering what this thing is in my uterus, and also what the hell is wrong with me Also think this woman needed more training! 'its only been a year since your miscarriage' is not encouraging me that they are particularly bothered about me. Noone seems to get that whatever problem I have has been caused by the miscarriage. You can't conceive 2nd go, miscarry, then not conceive for a whole year and a bit without worrying!!

Deffo complaining about that GP telling me I have PCOS and not ovulating, and that its my fault losing weight that I'm not conceiving. If you don't know the answer - just say that!!!

How is everyone? xxxxxx

ps. wow this message seems like I'm in a bad mood. I'm really not - I'm surprisingly upbeat and think it must be the sunshine !!

Hiya Sarah, glad you're well - so jealous of your seaside break! I need a holiday sooo badly, not been for 18 months

I'm so sorry about your stupid GP and stupid Gyno lady... they really should refrain from giving opinions about anything because they don't seem to be able to tell their ass from their elbow most of them.

I would have loved to have seen her face when you told her that you are married lol

I'm not too sure about your mc being the source of your fertility issues now...

When you got pregnant it could have just been a total fluke and you already had existing conditions but you didn't suspect because you seemed to get pregnant quickly.

I can totally understand you worrying about it

Did she tell you that high testosterone is the precursor to PCOS though? With high testosterone you might not be ovulating still and starting to form cysts.

I'm alright thanks Going to phone the clinic tomorrrow and see what they say about me ahving to wait a month just to have some papers faxed

Hey Ooo you do need a holiday! makes all the difference.....although I could have stayed much longer. The only reason I think its since the m/c is that they didn't see this thing on my some scans I had before I got pg. No she didn't mention the link between PCOS and testosterone.

Just feel like I'm going round in circles.

A month?? for some papers? ridiculous. Is it for some results? xxxxxxxxxxx

No, not for results lol

Just to fax through that we qualify for funding - going to phone the clinic right now! Reading this just reminded me
