Ok well my appt was for 3.45 and I was told to be there 5-10 mins early.
I got there at like 3.47
so, I give my name, show my appt letter and they tell me to take a seat.
At 5.25 I asked what the delay was and was told
"it's always busy from 2pm onwards for the ante-natal clinic."
"yeah? well, I'm not here for ante-natal" grrrrrr this made me mad seeing as I've been sat in a room full of pregnant ladies and babies for over an hour and a half on today of all days
"well, it's always busy so you'll just have to wait"
"hold on I have an appt for 3.45"
"yeah, they tell everyone to come at that time and we just work through in 10 minute slots"
5.40 I eventually get called but all they want to do is take my weight, height and for me to piss in a cup.
Oh and blood pressure - 65/125 - lol they always expect it to be high because of my weight.
Why do hospitals think the world revovles around pissing in a cup?
No, I'm not pregnant.
No, I do not have a uti, although
every pee test so far has said I have protein in my urine!
So I get to sit back in the lobby for another 10 mins before I get to see the gyn.
Finally someone apologises for the delay
I go through my story...
And she says "I really don't think I am qualified to advise you on this"
Ok well that's honest - I can deal with that.
So I now get referred for an "expert gyn scan" with this super experienced dude called chintac.
then I get referred to this Reproductive Endocrinologist, who is a professor in uterine anomalies.
At last.
OK so I have to wait a few weeks for an appt but whats a few weeks after 2 1/2 years?
Then they whisked me off to drain me of the red stuff.
they're testing for base lines of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone) and also testing my thyroid again.
Oh wait I didn't tell you about that.
OK a few weeks ago I saw my doctor for blood tests for diabetes, cholesterol and thyroid.
I have no signs of diabetes. My cholesterol is low - haha that got them because they were so sure it would be high due to my weight.
My thyroid test was abnormal and he wanted me to retest in 3 months (well 2 from now) but they are taking it on at the hospital.
so maybe we can finally get some answers???
