Waiting Times

"Waiting Times"

About: Tameside General Hospital / Gynaecology

(as the patient),

I came off birth control 2 years ago to start a family. Unfortunately, my body has not gone back to its normal state. I was diagnosed with PCOS where they referred me to the Gynae Department at Tameside Hospital. They originally advised that the wait would be 6 weeks. 

I have been waiting for 39 weeks at the moment. I ring to check and they just advise I just need to wait and this is all they can do. So frustrating, as I am struggling and want to start a family!
