Seeing a specialist

Hey lovely ladies!

Today I finally got my referral to Edinburgh Endometriosis Centre and I'm so happy to finally be going to see a specialist after 7 years of every endo symptom in the book.

How long did people wait to see a specialist?

At the first meeting was it decided to do a / another lap? (my first one on 30th June was done by a general gynae and showed nothing)

Should I prepare any notes for the appointment?

Glad to hear things are moving forward for you. I would think they will suggest doing another lap, as that's the only way they can diagnose you.

EndoMetropolis has a really used list of suggested questions to ask before going ahead with surgery. If you join the group on Facebook you can access these in the files section at the top of the group page.

Good luck x
