    Angry I am so frustrated!!

    I paid $55.00 at the doctors and over $200.00 in scans for them to tell me "oh we don't know whats wrong?!"
    I AM SO ANGRY!
    I know there is something wrong! i know i am not right and not one of them can figure out why

    Unexplained infertility my arse. I have cramps and back pain to the point i spew randomly and my mood swings are unbelivable!! I am surprised DF hangs around for them to be honest. Even then, it doesn't guarantee i get my period, i go through the motions and then...NOTHING!!
    Do you know i have had ... 4 periods this year. Thats 4 in 9 months, even then i think i am lying!!

    Sorry i just had to get this out

    ugh how frustrating

    Sounds hormonal to me, are you on any medications? I guess it would be stupid to ask if they have done bloods and a hormone assay?

    I would be asking to see someone else, was this through a GP or FS?

    ((hugs)) I hope someone can give you some answers soon

    Miss Kris,

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I haven't had symptoms as bad as you, but I have had excrutiatingly painful AF for over ten years now, and a lap and hyst reported nothing. The medical people said "nothing's wrong with you, take a panadol." They also suggested that getting pregnant would help with painful AF - great, here I am ten years later with no baby and still painful AF.

    I did however find a naturopath that specialises in women's health and she put me on some supplements that really helped. Magnesium helps with the cramps, and I was on herbs to regulate my cycles - they swung from 28 days to 45 days and drove me crazy. Now it's 30 days every month. Naturopathy is not cheap, but it was a fantastic help to me and DH and I haven't looked back since.

    Good luck with it. I feel for you.

    Hello,

    Im a registered nurse I would suggest you get some blood tests done especially to with checking your hormones. If a regular doctor won't then ask for a referal to a Fertility Specialist. You can find a fertility specialist in IVF clinics.

    My GP never organised those tests but my fertility specialist did.

    I'm so sorry you're getting nowhere with the tests.

    I agree with the natropath suggestion for the painful AF.

    Wishing you lots of luck
