Hi girls
Ok - long story short, I had a stupid doctor that wasn't treating me the way I needed to be treated. She did diagnose me with PCOS, but without any testing; and she was medicating me with Metformin but wouldn't care if I told her it wasn't helping. SO - I switched doctors. I had an appointment this afternoon with the new family doctor, and she referred me to a gynecologist - I have an appointment with her on Monday, May 19th at 1pm.
Basically, I'm pretty much starting over. I haven't been medicated for PCOS for about six months now, and I'm starting fresh.
My question is, when a doctor is doing this RIGHT, what can I expect when I go in on Monday? What tests might she do? I am really nervous - I'm finally taking my health into my own hands and I'm becoming serious about it (after learning the hard way that I have no familial support :'( ) - but I'm also scared outta my mind. I do have all the classic symptoms of PCOS - and I'm worried because I've had constant pelvic pain for about three weeks now (gets worse during sex). Now that I've become more serious about it, I'm reading up on it and learning a lot - and what I'm reading is scaring me.
I just want to know what I can expect when I see the doctor on Monday, and I just need some reassurance that this isn't as bad or scary as it sounds
Love you all,
Layla
