Off to docs - advice please!!
Hi girls. As title says I am off to the docs tomorrow and am really hoping to get referred to the fertility clinic but they are super strict around here so wondered if anyone has any advice about what I should say or ask for?
A bit of history - I am 25 and hubby is 40 and we have been trying for ten months now. I know that its not very long in the grand scheme of things but in that time I have only had 2 periods. In fact in my whole life I have only had about 8 or 9 periods when not on the pill. I had blood tests a year ago which came back inconclusive for pcos but my scan showed loads of cysts on my ovaries. Oh and I have put on almost two stone in 10 months!!
So any suggestions? Last time I went she was really dismissive and said loads of people get pregnant without periods- not helpful!!
Thanks so much

Atleast 21 day bloods or something to check for ov. Thats what my gp ( who has been amazing ) started with then refered me to FC after tests showed no ov. Then FC put me on clomid, had 2 cycles and still no ov so they have booked me in for a lap and dye, and ov drilling.
But after talking to alot of people the process is very different depending on the gp or fc.
I would suggest you be firm hun and tell them not ask them to refer you.

Gosh all that treatment sounds scary! Can you ovulate if you are not having periods? Sorry if that's a dumb question!
Good news on the referal front
