This is my first post and I don't know all the abbreviations on here yet, but I really feel like I need some help.
I'm 35 and have always had problem periods (heavy, painful & long) and this year they have become irregular and my hormones are all over the place. Over the years I've been in and out of the doctors about the periods but they only offered the pill and nothing else. Until this year.
I've had two ultrasounds over the summer that identified a cyst on one ovary and the other ovary isn't moving properly. The person that did the second scan said there and then it could be diagnosed as endometriosis (which is what I have been telling the doctors all along but they wouldn't agree).
I was referred back to my doctor who now has referred me to a gynaecologist, and I have a 3hr appointment next month. I've got no info on what to expect which is adding to my anxiety about this.
I've been tracking my temperature and I don't go into the fertile range according to the app I'm using. This past month I have tried ovulation sticks and got no positives.
I've never been in a position to try and get pregnant before now (bad partners, or single) but finally I am with a wonderful man and now when we are ready to start a family I feel like it's just too late for my insides.
I'm finding it really hard not to think the worst and panic it won't be possible for us.
I know there are a lot of people that have been trying for years and I am just starting out on this journey, I'm scared about what it will bring. Any advice appreciated.
