Hi All,
I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS following years of problems and have been TTC for 9-10 months (not as long as most of you I know!) but am already getting frustrated with NHS waiting times. Been given my first gynae appointment in two months time and as you can probably guess I am not the most patient of people.
I am nearly 25 and my partner is 32 so we aren't 'old' by any stretch but I know my local PCT won't fund IVF until I am 30 (if it comes to that of course).
My periods are every 7-9 days apart and according to OV test kits I am not ovulating (I know they can be unreliable with PCOS though).
I have always desperately wanted a family and to find that after spending so long waiting for the right time (i.e house, good job and stable relationship) that it is going to be so difficult has been a huge knock to me and my mental health not to mention the strain on my relationship!
I was wondering if any of you had gone private to get more tests and Clomid prescribed and if you think it was worth the money??
Thanks!
