Gyno Vent!!

[Xavier's Mumma]

On monday i had my second appointment with my gyno...
My first appointment was in december and went sh!t and i didnt wanna go back so i was hoping i'd get pregnant b4 i had to go back again but no it didnt happen..
In the first appointment she said i was young and still had heaps of time to fall pregnant and we you have only been trying for a year, u need to lose more weight etc etc.
She put me on metformin to take twice a day so ive been doing that.
So went to the appointment on monday hoping i'd be started on clomid like she first said.
Well i seen another doctor who i could not understand he upped my dose of metformin to three times a day and gave me pathology slips to get blood done on day 3/4 of my circle and day 21 and come back in April, lose more weight and we will see when u come back.
I'm so upset i dont wanna do this anymore im sick of getting upset every month when AF comes and then starting it all over again doing tests and then seeing no second line.
Weve taken the non stress way of not worrying about it for a few months but that doesnt help either.
Ive done everything they have asked but its never good enough..
I've lost weight, i eat healthy, i try to excerise but its hard having Multiple Sclerosis. I suffer from fatigue fairly badly and just doing the house work and washing for one day means im to tired to do anything the next day.
I had stopped taking my meds for it so i could fall pregnant
but my times running out my specialist has given me to March to fall pregnant before i have to go back on them... :banghead: Sorry just needed to get all that out.
Hope everyones enjoying Valentines day!

Alicia...so sorry you are having to go through all of that!! :hugs:

Is it possible to go to someone else?? They shouldnt be making you wait for so long! My gyno prescribed clomid straight away after only trying for 2 months beforehand (was diagnosed with PCOS during that time as well). Having said that though, he DID say that Met on the right dose is the most proven way to get ovulation happening for those with PCOS...that recent studies have shown its more effective. The ony reason I was given the clomid instead of the met was that the met tends to take longer whereas we are only trying for a couple of cycles, so was needing the faster route. So maybe thats why they have decided to up your dosage of met instead of prescribing clomid?? Either way, if you're not comfortable with the treatment you are being given, I would see someone else. That fact that you have been ttc for over a year now should call for more action in my opinion.

Best of luck!! Hoping you wont need to go on the clomid and the met will sort things out for you!! :yes:

:hugs: I am so sorry your having a bad run of things at the moment and I can really feel your frustration and fed up with things like are going, because you can see it's not helping you get to where your wanting to go and no-body seems to be listening or on the same page. They keep on saying the things you already know and it's getting you down. :hugs:

I'd say, everyone is entitled to a second appinion. I would emphasise the fact that your current specialist has put a 'time limit on it' and time is running out and you needing answers urgently - when seeking refferals to differant specialists.

First, make a list of everything that is worrying you, frustrating you
Next condense it, keeping it point form!!
and tell them the problems as a list.........then they might ask for more information, you can tell them the full story at that point. It might work for you as it does for me.

I hope that you get the answers you want :hugs:
