Hello ladies
I have PCOS and endometriosis diagnosed by Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy 2 and a half years ago. I haven't had a period since July so 3 nearly 4 months (completely unheard of for me, normally I'm every 30-40 days) To cut a very long and very emotional story short, I went to my useless GP and she's prescribed me Norethisterone (15mg for 10 days) to induce a bleed. That's fine, but how the hell will this help us conceive? We've been TTC for 5 months and I really doubt that I even ovulate. It's just a gut feeling and I have have had so many negative OPK's now. She's told me not to do BBT's and to keep trying even though there isn't a chance of me ovulating as I have raised testosterone diagnosed by blood test 2 months ago!
I feel like i'm banging my head against a brick wall. Her more senior colleague advised her to refer me back to my Gynae consultant (after i'd come in to see MY DR but couldn't see my own GP as per usual) but she rang me and said she disagreed with her colleagues opinion and that she was leaving me a prescription for Norethisterone and was not referring me.
She has told me to take the tablets, have a bleed and then give it another 2 MONTHS to see if i bleed again. If not, she wants me to come and and she'll refer me for an ultrasound (which i'll have to wait 6 weeks for!!!) to measure the thickness of the lining of my womb because apparently it can mess the shape of your womb up. I see where she's coming from in the sense that a fertilised embryo couldn't attach itself to a messed up shaped uterus wall but I'M NOT EVEN BLOODY OVULATING ARGH!!!!
Needless to say, i've now changed my GP!
So anyway, other than having to get that off my chest, has anybody else out there had their cycle kicked back into shape after a good old dose of Norethisterone??? My guess is
and more importantly, has it dusted any cobwebs off of those ovaries for anybody???
