back from the GPs and am done crying from frustration.
She did authorize a thyroid blood panel, set for Mon, and seemed surprised my previous GP hadn't requested it already.
Frustrating bit is that this GP wants to refer me to a neurologist, to 'get control of' a neurological condition I have that necessitated surgery several years ago. It's already under control, but I do have periodic headaches. Her logic is that any fertility clinic will automatically want the neuro condition signed off on by a neurologist, so may as well handle it now before being referred to a FS. In the meantime, she wouldn't set up an HSG, saying the fertility specialist would do that when the time comes.
So, basically nothing will happen til I've seen a neurologist, and if I'm still not pregnant in 4 months, I'm to go back to her and she'll refer me to a FS. Told her we won't qualify for NHS IVF due to DH's existing kids, and her response was that she could refer me to a private clinic now, or I could wait and be referred to an NHS clinic, and have as much testing there as they'll allow before sending me off private.
I'm frustrated bc it just seems like she's chosen 4 months arbitrarily - we're cycle 10, so 2 mos would be the 1 year mark, and she said she never refers anyone trying less than a year. So why do I have to get to 14 months? DH says to just call back after the neuro appt is handled, and tell her I'm ready for a referral to NHS clinic, and forget about her 4 month timeframe.
It's all so frustrating. She told me to keep having sex 3x a week, and 'try not to worry'. Yeah the prospect of blowing 4 months til I can be referred to a place with a 3-4 month waiting list for an intake appointment really isn't worrisome at all
