Hi Lisa

Think I was lucky but saw Consultant 9th May and had diagnostic lap last week - 23rd June.

Hope your appointments are as speedy

Hi

Thank you, I was expecting about 6 weeks. I start Uni in 8 weeks :-/ and would like to get it done before then.

Fingers crossed

I don't remember waiting too long for my diagnostic lap with regular gyne but for my surgery with a BSGE accredited endo centre I was on the wait list for nearly a year at one cebtre before being transferred to another where I waited a another few months! Good luck! xx

Hope that you will been seen quicker

Hi 😊

wow 18 weeks. Fingers crossed you get seen quicker!

I don't think they understand that it is so debilitating. Even a diagnosis takes a tonne of your mind. At least we can start to try to live out lives normally, knowing what is causing the pain etc.

I saw my specialist on Friday last week and he has told me about a month but I am not holding my breath.
