To beg for help, I’m worried sick

Hi, I posted on here last week but didn’t get much traffic. I’m waiting to speak to my GP about this but can’t get an appointment atm and I’m extremely worried in the mean time, so hoping someone on here can offer any advice, experience or knowledge.

im in my 20s and have always had period problems. Usually between 4-7 periods a year and extremely long cycles/skipping periods altogether. For example, last year I had a period at the start of January, end of march, end of april, end of September and start of December. That’s a typical year for me. I’ve been to the GP 10+ times and requested help but continually been told it’s normal. I had a hormone blood test when I was about 15/16 and all was normal so they said it should regulate as I get older but it didn’t. Every time I mention my period it gets fobbed off because I had a healthy blood test as a teenager but nobody has ever been able to explain why it’s still like this in my 20s

i paid hormone blood test and I’ve attached the results as a photo. Some things were normal but other things were completely off. Just for reference i was in the luteal stage at the time of the test.

I’ve got myself into a worry about the results. Could this mean I’m having early menopause? I always wanted to have kids and I’m just worried I won’t be able to. Anytime I googled it it said the results suggested menopause or other things and I’ve got myself into a worry about it. I’m annoyed about being fobbed off for so long too

if anyone can offer any advice or anything in the meantime I would be so so grateful x

No because I stupidly didn’t book one and said I would take it to my nhs gp and now they’re fully booked! It’s my own fault and I should have booked the follow up with them but it’s so expensive and I was really struggling to afford it anyway x

You could ask about going on a cancellation list if you can manage to get their at short notice. You could try charting and measuring your waking temperatures to see if you're ovulating. It's not 100%, but would give you some more information and all you need is a standard thermometer (not forehead or ear one), which will be a couple of pounds.

Please push for a gynaecology referral. I had years of irregular periods. For years and years I was fobbed off with its normal or you have PCOS. Until last year it wasn't and it's cancer. Aged 32 I am about to undergo a hysterectomy and as a result will never now be able to have kids. Forced into medical menopause and all that crap.
If you think something is wrong please please demand help and don't stop until you get answers. Don't end up like me

Was your scan abdominal or transvaginal?
