I am still waiting to have it done. I rang the hospital last week to find out what was going on only to find out that the Gyn has gone on holidays and will be back mid July so I made an appointment to see him when he comes back as my "pain cycle" is really getting to me.
Wow that was fast..... Wouldn't it depend on if your private of public???
Hmm, I guess it would but I'm a little confused because when I rang the specialist to find out if he was the one doing the hysteroscopy he said that normally he shouldn't say this, but he will be. I said I was happy to pay out of pocket for a private fee to ensure he was going to be the dr but he said it was ok. I decided not to have it done next week. I guess I'm feeling positive because my period came a bit early again but for the first time there was some normal looking blood. I would like to get a second opinion on what else could be causing these symptoms and if they've all been ruled out before getting a hysteroscopy. There's something else too. It might make me unpopular for saying it, but the specialist is involved in studies for which they are actively recruiting subjects (I even heard an ad on the radio) and I don't want to undergo an invasive procedure to make up numbers for a study. Even if I do have A and did require a hysteroscopy, I'd like to be treated as an individual and my health needs given top priority- the first intervention is the most critical for correcting adhesions.
Have you had hormonal tests to rule out other possible causes of your absence of periods? Not just estrogen, progesterone FSH and prolactin, but also thyroid and cortisol. Also, a pelvic ultrasound is useful as it can reveal if you're ovulating and how thick your endometrium is (however it cannot detect adhesions).
