Hi ladies, consultant update for you
Well after waiting 6 weeks, and the ladies at the hopsital refusing to change my consultant so I could have earlier appointment, as he was the best for me, I saw his registar!! I had to explain everything to her again, even though she had a full gp letter explaining why age had referred me. She then proceeded to tell me that all my progesteone test results are innaccuate and useless, as they have to be done excaltly 7 days before af due, so as I have a random cycle of anything between 21 and 28 they are of no use. She said my other hormones are fine and just said your normal.
Anyway oh stepped in, as I was getting upset. He asked why she thought 2 gps have sent me for tests and think something is wrong, and does she have any idea why they may have sent me. She could not answer and just kept saying, your normal as cycle is between 21 and 28 days and we would have to wait at least a year until we could be referred again. Oh would not let it go, saying we had waited this long for appointment and gp thought something was wrong, she just dismissed it. I said to her even if I waited a year, as my af is irregular, an accurate progesteone can never be achieived so why wait!
Oh wasn't happy with her answers, so she agreed to let us have an appointment with the consultant, then asked me for af dairy, which I told her I already had. She then started looking at it, and agreed they were quiet random, and asked if I've ever had pelvic scan. She started asking if I've had increased facial hair, which I have, *so going to check my ovaries out and then do my hormones at start of cycle too
I have appoinment 23rd now with the actual consultant and should have scan before I see him. So glad I took oh, otherwise I think I would have been fobbed off.
Sorry so long ladies! X
