First gynae appointment tomorrow- what to ask and what to expect.

[aliceb]

Hi everyone.

I've been referred to the gynae with suspected endo and my appointment is tomorrow. I'm just getting quite nervous so any advice on what I should mention, what questions I should ask and what to expect would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for all this. I'm 20 and dealing more with pain etc than fertility issues. I'm hoping to get some answers as I've had an ultrasound and this has been going on for a year getting progressively worse. I'm sure I'll be glad when it's over and I know what's going on. Thanks again.

Hi,

I have my first appointment on Friday, I found this site incredibly helpful:

endometriosis-uk.org/inform...

It had a questionnare you could fill in to take to your consultation.

Hope it goes well for you.

It went fairly well I think. I'm going to start microgynon or similar fairly soon to see if that helps and either way might have a lap in the uni holidays - he was very considerate of the fact that doing anything too major in term time wouldn't suit me very well as I'm in my final year. I'm hoping that I'll get on without too many side-effects (which I had with cerazette), as I wasn't keen originally but now the pain is worse than the side-effects I had before... Thanks everyone for all your advice.
