Waiting & nervous... (Derby)

[Pondering123]

Hi lovely people,

After 15 years I was finally told I have endometreosis in December following a transvaginal ultrasound where they found multiple cysts and endometriomas. I want to start trying for a family but was told to start the pill while I wait (which feels counterintuitive). I was referred to gynaecology and I've called to ask when they expect to be able to see me (not in an angry way, just because my letter said I would hear from them by Dec 31st and I wanted an update as have heard nothing) and was just told there are 300 other woman waiting and they can't even give me a very rough idea if its weeks or months or where I might be on that list. I work in the NHS so I understand there will be a wait but would expect at least a rough idea even if it was expect to wait 6 months for example.

I am very very anxious about all of this and was wondering if someone could let me know what to expect when I do get my first appointment - I want to be realistic going in about what will happen as I'm desperate for this appointment and dont want to come out feeling it was wasted if I expect too much. Will it be slightly different as they already have said they believe its endo?

Thanks so much

Xx

Hi,

I'm sorry they so busy for you would make it easier on you if they could get you in quicker however I waited 6 months for my first appointment.

As they have confirmed that you have endometriosis then they should talk to what the next steps are.

I wish I could be more help but unfortunately I don't know this much !

But try not worry your self to much and hope you get an appointment soon and hope it all goes well for you .xx
