Well - I have tried both avenues - I have private cover, but cant find anyone who is willing to do what I need/want, because I need a 'permanant' proceedure done. I basically have AF come to visit perm! I dont have PCOS - or so they say. I have erratic cycles that are 'normal', and nothing else seems to fix it (as in drugs) I have been using Azol - which is working really well - but can only be used as a short term relief. Rather frustrating.
I have seen 2 of Adelaides leading Gynies - who both basically refused. So now I have gone public and I am having it done tomorrow. I cant remember the name of the Gynie - I have dealt with a registrar most of the visits - but thats fine. I am having the endometrial ablation and tube tied at the same time.

The thing is - if you arent fussed by waiting - (I got bumped up the list as I got classified as semi urgent) the by all means - go and do it. But dont expect choices of anything......

Good Luck!
