Hey guys,,

I just got my day 21 results back...good news my last cycle was ovulatory I had an actual egg!!! hurrah.... my FSH Levels were also good the LH was good...the testosterone was 0.7 the lowest ever!!! The Tv scan Rt ovary One dominant follicle 14cc
The left 55 cc small cyst 44x25 mm multiple small follicles seen, suggestive of PCO. Sub mucosal fibroid 21x16x15mm. By the way what is as dominant follicle??? my scan was on day 14 is this good

Hey Hun!!!!

Oh wow fab news!! How exciting!! So pleased for you! Your ovaries produce multiple follicles and then one becomes dominant and is released in a normal cycle! For ladies with PCOS this doesn't always happen and instead produces the cysts on the ovaries!
The fact you have a dominant one is such a good sign! Chuffed for you Hun! So what happens next? Xx

[chantel]

but I'm going to see the gyne next to find out pros and cons of IVF -and how long to type it on my own I haven't officially started trying for baby yet.
I need to read up some more about my reproduction as I'm I'm not sure what this dominant follicle really means

[chantel]

is there any way of taking the cysts out? is there an operational procedure where they can suck a cyst out

[Humphrey2368]

It all sounds really positive Hun and you may not need the Ivf at all! I think they can do ovarian drilling which gets rid of cysts but that involves keyhole surgery!

Hey Chantel,

How are you doing? Any news?
My OH had his SA done last week so we are currently waiting for the results of that...fingers crossed for no issues!

Hi there

No news!!! I have another appointment with GP.. I am insisting on keeping a copy of my scan results the Gp says can not give as on NHS computer system. I will ask for another Gynae appointment to get another opinon

[Humphrey2368]

That's seems strange not to give you a copy? Can you not tell them you will pay for a copy? We get my OH results on Tuesday! Fingers crossed all ok X

[chantel]

I know they keep telling me they can't give me a copy it because of the computer system have you got a lot of rubbish myself I rather suspect that as it may because initial error the pool re tried to cover their tracks
I made another GP appointment with a view to getting a gynae ...appointment so I'll let you know how that pans out

[Humphrey2368]

That doesn't seem right Hun! I hope you can get a print out!
Did you get to the GP in the end? If so how did it go!

My OH SA came back normal so we see the GP next Friday to finally get our referral sent off!! Finally things seem to be moving

[chantel]

My GP is appointment is not until the end of this month as my GP has no availability himself then I have to have another referral to the gyne. The NHS hospital system is not linked with a localised GPS.... so I still haven't got a copy of my trans vaginal scan after all these years.

I'm hoping after my GP appointment at the end of this month I'll get another referral with gynae is an NHS so they're not always great or terribly efficient. I need to ask about the fibroids I've had another period this month but it's excruciatingly painful.

I'm glad your husband sample came back ok that's a good news for you.. who is the next step another fertility clinic appointment is it going to be the first I think and if so is it NHS or private what is the NHS offering you and how successful are they that's one thing you should look at.
what sort of success rates does the clinic they are referring you to you have?

[Humphrey2368]

Hey Hun,

I hope you're well? So sorry for late reply! All very fraught at work and then a week off this week which has been lovely but busy! Did you see your GP in the end? How did it go? So sorry about your period being so painful is there anything that can be done for that?

Yes very relieved about my husbands results! We saw the doctor today who is going to refer us- she said that its a specialist fertility clinic like a GP surgery and not a hospital as I previously thought?! Weird! Anyway she said I'd get an appointment in the post so I will keep you posted on that! Not sure about success rates but I will let you know once I've had the appointment it's NHS so I would think I will have to wait 12 weeks for an appointment anyway! Just so relieved the referral has gone now! As far as the GP was concerned for the moment it will be clomid I am put in but she said we will have to wait to see the specialist!

How about you? What are your next steps? X

[chantel]

I am waiting to see my gynae. I also need to write a complaint letter as I am worried that the PCOS was missed. You say your staring clomid?? how much ???is it an injection tablets etc...

[Humphrey2368]

Will you complain to GP or hospital? I am waiting to see fertility clinic as I have now been referred- but I think they will put me on clomid (tablets) which is free under NHS I believe!

[chantel]

My complaint will be to the gyne clinic as they were providing care to me for the last X number of years and missed the diagnosis.

Clomid tablets interests
