Hi,

I have finally managed to get a Dr appointment with a GP at my practise who specialises in 'Women's Health'. I would like to dicsuss TTC with her as we are having some issues:

I have 1 DS who is almost 2. Ever since he was born (apart from 3 months when I was on BC pill) we have been hoping to get pregnant. However, my periods were absent for first 10 months after he was born. Now I have periods, however they are very irregular. My last cycles have gone 33-38-35-48-53 days in length. I have tried the ovulation sticks but these seem to give strange and misleading results for me. I saw a different Dr 2 months ago who told me to return for possible investigation into PCOS.

Anyway I was just wondering what I should expect and what to talk to tell the DR to be taken seriously!

How did you get on at your appointment? I think everyone worries ahead of discussing their fertility with their GP, but it usually all comes tumbling out, and most GPs are sympathetic. Hope it went well!

Hope it went well. They should be able to refer you for tests - good that you have seen someone who specialises as well.
