I think 12months is reasonable but 18months is alittle old schooled especially if you don't have text book cycles. I thought seeing as you occassionally have had long cycles they would be willing to refer you to someone that specialises in that area. If my Gyno investigated when I first went to see him I wouldn't have got into the mess I did (hence why I am alittle test happy lol) Hope you get answers soon.
hi sorry to butt in but has your dr checked for pelvic inflammatory disease nurse? i had been getting low pelvic pain and cycles that had a mind of there own and was last week diagnosed with P I D
Trubabe thats what I had which contributed to my ectopic pregnancy and when I seen the Gyno after almost 12months ttc and 2 m/c he said it was normal and to come back in a year. I also have no history of STDS which is why he said I couldn't have PID and didn't test me for it or blocked tubes, endo etc. Turns out I had the works. Don't want to scare you NK. PID doesn't cause long cycles. Mainly abdo pain and painful sex and low grade temps and funny fanny discharge (doesn't have to be offensive smelling just not quite normal) I didn't have the typical signs of it and was considered low risk or Gyno's words no risk. I think it definately warrants a Dr's appointment. Can you see someone else? You can come see one of the Drs I work with lol I'll make them see you. But in saying that they didn't do anything for me so maybe there useless.
i really reckon it's time to see a specialist to see what is going on with the cycles. that is waaay too long IMO.
just ask your GP for a referral to an OB/GYN. no need to really discuss it with them, just ask for their preferred OB/GYN (unless you have one that you know/like) and go from there. they will be able to be alot more helpful in regards to TTC and cycles than a regular GP.
this is second time ive had it.never had a std.apparently people can get it for unknown reasons and gynae told me it can mess up your cycles.this cycle and last have been about three weeks late.ive got other stuff wrong too,but some of that is because of previous pid and endo
I don't know your history, but after reading your posts I couldn't not reply.
Any pain should be investigated hun - are long cycles common for you? I would be seeking out another GP to obtain a referral to a specialist sooner if you can. Don't let one GP obstruct you getting answers just because THEY want you to wait 18 months.
Can you contact a preferred specialist directly and see if there are any other options to see someone maybe?
Hi girls, sorry to steal the thread NurseKobeh but just wanted to ask Emmy and trubabe, have you found that you have had many issues with ttc with PID? I had been diagnosed with it after having my son and I am now thinking of ttc #2 and wanting to know if many issues? If too personal I will understand if you do not want to reply but not many stories I have read with ppl having PID and pregnancy.
and I hope the pain resolves for you.
