Well I had my pelvic scan and blood test done a few weeks back and was meant to get the results on 25th august From my gyno but got a letter yesterday saying that it has now been put back until February!!! What an absolute joke! It took nearly 3years for them to take me seriously and refer me! I manage to get them to send over the results to my gp and see him this morning but what ever the results is the dr going to be able to do the same as a gyno? He said that if the results came back and I wasn't ovulating he would be giving chlomid but now I'm worried the dr won't! I'm so fed up now of being fobbed off I cnt take any more :(
 
That's awful, I am really sorry. I hope your GP can help you out. Good luck for your appt xx
 
Oh that's really terrible. Hope you got on ok at the doctors and they can do something to help. The last thing we all need is being fobbed off for months on end. GL x
 
Well it was a stand in dr and I can't believe what she said to me! She said she couldn't really understand the results but could see there was some kind of cysts on my ovaries, I then asked if she could give me something to kick start my periods and she said why? Do you think that that's what's normal? If you want to be "normal" then I'll just put you on the pill! Then she looks at the screen and says what?, your only 22?! Come back when your in your 30's and have been trying for a bit then! O was/am in so much shock I didn't know what to do or say! Where can I go from here just wait 6 months I guess! I've waited 3 years and I'm still no closer! I just want to curl up and come out when someone is willing to help me ;(
 
what a bitch! i would make an appt to go back to your usual doc hun, sorry your having to go through such hassle :hugs:
 
So sorry to read this - it is totally unacceptable!

Firstly, I would do as the others say and try to see your own GP. Then I would phone your Fertility Clinic and ask to speak to the manager and ask for an explanation telling them that whilst it is sometimes accetable for an appt to be changed; a 6 month delay is unacceptable. You are already in their system and awaiting test results. You should not have to be left wondering for that long.

If you don't have any success, ask for the details of who you can write to with a complaint. For other reasons, we have had to go down the complaint route with our clinic. We sent the letter to the complaints dept and the manager of the fertility centre both by recorded delivery and the acknowledged the letter within 3 days and said they would investigate and reply with findings within 5 weeks, which they did.

I'm sure they have a period like that with which they have to reply in. Write your letter when you have calmed down so that it is factual, not emotional and if you want, you could even threaten going to the media about the way you've been treated and this ridiculous delay. If you have cysts, they may need treatment and you certainly don't want to have to wait! They will soon find you an appt!!

You are absolutely within your rights to fight this hun xx
 
Thanks everyone for your support, unfortunatly I don't have just 1 dr there's about 3 different ones which is a pain but I do get on with one in particular so I think I will go have a chat with her. Do you think it's worth calling the gyno's secretary and having a chat with her? And if she cnt get me a closer appointment if she can tell me how to change to someone who can..?
 
See the GP who you feel comfortable with and speak to the gyno's secretary. You don't necessarily have to see that gyno just A gyno who can interpret your results and give you a bit more info.

Good luck
 
Yes agree 100% with Deb. Go back to the doctors but ask specifically for the person you like. Phone the secretary and kindly explain that waiting 6 months for the results is unacceptable. See what can be done. GLx
