Well, today I got to see a doctor, re. the letter from the Gynaecologist. The Obs and Gynae Consultant had sent a letter based on what he had been told by the GP and the hormone blood test results. Which, by the way, seemed to show more than what I was told, but never mind now. He recommended Metformin, blood glucose and lipids test, and an ovarian scan.
So I am having the bloods and scan, and when they have all the information, then I will be back to the doctor and probably starting Metformin. I could have started it now, but I want the tests done first. Plus I need to get a pre-paid prescription certificate. £7.10 for a prescription!! Daylight robbery!!!!
Anyway. Not sure how I feel now. Maybe numb. It's not a diagnosis, but this is some thing I have expected. Maybe it'll hit me when I am tired, emotional and alone next week. I'll blow it out of proportion, cry and then hopefully be calmer again. At least it is another step forward, even if a proper diagnosis may feel like a huge leap backwards.
