Hi
Sorry post is so long but I've never posted & am frustrated by situation.
I'm 43 -never been pregnant, but am healthy, bmi 21 etc & trying for 1 year.
Am not ovulating every month (home tests) maybe 3 months out of 6.. Want my GB to prescribe Cholmid or similar to encourage ovulation.
Note I very rarely am ill so don't really go to GP, so have no relationship & tend to see a different individual doctor on the rare occasions I go in tot he GP practice
Last (& only GP I asked about this ) was a bit dismissive - immediately said that because of my age that really only egg donation would work.
I thought that GB's could at least do a test for residual eggs (sorry don't know offical name of test) and surely could prescribe chlomid.
But no - what a waste of time - she only referred me to a clinic.
6 weeks later - NO further info. No appointment.
HELP!!! Grrr. I'll pay/go private but it seem a waste of time going to a GB who can neither take action NOR seemingly secure a clinic appointment.! (OR maybe 6 weeks is normal for no notice????)
Can I buy the drugs on the internet - (PLEASE do NOT give me a lecture about this being a bad idea just real stories)
OR can I self refer to a clinic to get someone to check me & give me what ever prescription is needed?
Surely - 'jump immediately to IVF with Egg doner' is OTT????
