Diagnosed with polycystic ovaries 7 years ago. Previous doctor fully aware of it and worked with me, gave us both advice while we were TTC.
We moved to a different area last year. Registered with new GP straight away.
So I went for the dreaded smear test today. Sat with the nurse and she asked me questions, the usual stuff.
When she asked me how long ago I had a period, I replied it was approx 6 weeks ago.
"Oh so you're overdue?"
I replied well yes I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my periods have always been all over the place.
She seemed surprised and I commented that I assumed it would be on my notes.
From the look she gave me you would have thought I'd suggested she jump naked out the window.
"Oh no dear, it's not on your notes."
WTH??!
Am I right to feel slightly bemused? Left the surgery feeling a bit confused.

why would the GP not have a record of my condition?
