Hi! I'm pretty new here and to infertility. I'm looking for advice and general help with the experience of others. I had a hard time meeting with the gynaecologist a couple weeks ago. Here is a bit of back story.
We have been trying for baby for 15 months now. I am very overweight and I realise that (I do go to gym a few days a week and try to eat well but it just isn't coming off). My af can be difficult to pin down, ovulation tests seemed to never work and temp was never easy to track. I finally went to GP when af was at about 60 days without showing up which is pretty bad for me, even with irregular. After all was said and done, the only abnormality in testing was it showed I wasn't ovulating and ultrasound couldn't see my ovaries. PCOS was my original reason for going in and it hasn't been confirmed or denied but I do believe it is the issue.
Fastforward a few months and finally in at Gynaecologist. I expected an exam of some sort and a bit of a plan. Instead, the Gyno walked in said I was too overweight to do anything and probably no one would help me because I'm 'high risk'. He wouldn't listen to me at all and I completely shut down. I was referred to someone else, I don't even know what the appointment is for but it's in 2 months, repeat scan and repeat blood test.
I'm wondering about other peoples experiences being overweight and having issues. Is this how appointments go? I just got so down and cried the whole way home. Please help :(
