Hi all
I had my contraceptive implant removed last summer and have not had AF since then. Since it has been years since I had a proper cycle (due to various contraceptive methods), I went to my GP. I had 3 separate blood tests which all came back "normal", but which indicated I was not ovulating. I also had a transvaginal ultrasound which also came back "normal" (no indication of PCOS) but the technician said that she could tell I would not have AF anytime soon.
I've now been referred to the Endocrinology & Gynecology dept at my local hospital for further tests which I have in 2 weeks' time. When I asked my GP what they would be testing for she said " Um, good question... I don't really know ", which I found to be a strange and a bit frustrating!!
So I was wondering whether anyone who has had a similar experience could help me with what I should expect? I do not appear to have PCOS but also do not have a cycle at the moment so I assume none of these tests are dependent on where I am in it... Might I be prescribed clomid on a first appointment or is that considered a last resort?
Thank you!
