I realise I haven't been around but I need some advice

Hi,

I did join awhile ago but thought everything would be fine after having ovarian drilling and a uterine polyp removed the end of January this year. Unfortunately I have not had much luck with my gyno, telling me it will just take time. I have recently gone back to my doctor because I have been having spotting for a few weeks now, off and on with no period. I am late, and she is running a blood pregnancy test just in case I am (I highly doubt it though). She said if it is negative, then I will have to go back to the gyno since it is probably a hormone imbalance of some kind. I am really not happy with my gyno, and I am starting to get worried if the ovarian drilling is related to the issues I am currently having. My period never became regular after ovarian drilling, I was told to take Elevit every day (which I have done without fail since Oct last year). I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

I am just really overwhelmed and stressed right now. My doctor said to go back to the old gyno, and once he has fixed that then we can go to a fertility specialist. I am worried this gyno may impair my chances of fertility since this is not the first operation I have had to remove uterine polyps and we have not had any success, if anything I have more uterine bleeding problems now than when I did before I had the ovarian drilling.

Does anyone have any advice on a good gyno, in Melbourne or outer east of Melbourne, that also deals with infertility issues. I feel that if I see a gyno /ob who specialises in infertility then he/she would be more sensitive to my needs and may be more thorough with my current uterine issue. I do have private health insurance. I havent been around because I thought I could fix it on my own, unfortunately I have failed in that department and I need some advice on how to tackle this.

Thanks

I'm in the outer South East so can't recommend anyone. I do however encourage you to go to another gyno. The gyno I was seeing was completely wrong about my ability to have a successful pregnancy and told me I had to have an op then go for IVF as it was my only chance. The proof of how wrong he was is sitting in his rocker smiling away as I type this. If you are not comfortable with how things have been with him do not go back.

Hey Haleyscomet,

Iam from Melbourne eastern suburbs, however I am seeing the most amazing specialist. Dr Gregory Fox. He has been around for so many years, infact he actually delivered me. He deals specifically more now with infertility. He has an office in Ringwood and also a office in east melbourne. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr Fox. He deals and knows alot about PCOS.

Here is his website:

Dr Gregory J Fox

I wish you luck with everything, let me know howw you go

Thank you!


The blood test was a BFN for pregnancy which I already knew that would be the case, so I have gotten a referral to see Dr Rachael Knight in the city, but since Dr Gregory Fox is only a 10min walk from where I live that option would be MUCH better, and less need for travel. Thanks a million for your advice, I really appreciate it!
