The coil, BUPA and all that jazz

[moi]

Ok so I have now had the coil fitted which went quite well but left me a bit sore and wobbly for a few days. Go for a check up in 5-6 weeks time but have assumed that it is all ok, that is me done for 5 years and hopefully that can be popped out just before it gives up the ghost and I might then be in a place to be starting to ttc which would be exciting but I'll come back to that in a moment.

Went along on Friday morning to have a basal profile blood test done ready for my first endo appointment (gynie has already recommended metformin), on the way phoned BUPA to get the codes for it all etc etc and they told me that they wouldn't cover it. Because I have now received a positive diagnosis for PCOS they have told me that they don't cover PCOS or any associated issues. What?!! I was absolutely beside myself, now have to go through the process of getting an nhs referral. So I phoned up my nhs gp and here is how the conversation went:

me: 'can I make an appointment to see a doctor please, preferably a female doctor?'
receptionist: 'why do you want to see a female doctor?'
me: 'because the matter I want to discuss I would feel more comfortable discussing with a female doctor'
receptionist: 'who is your doctor?'
me: 'doctor rashid'
receptionist: 'ok well you will need to put forward a case as to why you want to see a female doctor which will be review by dr rashid and if he gives his approval then we will organise an appointment with a female doctor for you'

So now having to try to organise moving gp practises as well as consultant streams! Migraines are in check at the moment just feeling extremely tired, sleeping well but waking up with almost a hangover type feeling and from 4pm onwards just feel exhausted, also getting heavy legs. Going to mention it to the neurologist tomorrow but I tend to think the tiredness now is more from the hormone imbalance than the migraine issues.

Then there is my relationship...well I love him and he loves me, things are hopefully going to be ok. We are back together, he really missed me and says that things will be ok although we haven't talk much about the current state of his head. I am nervous that give it a few more weeks and it will all be over again but I guess time will tell - you can never really be sure what the future holds and I have such a longing for moving in together, engagement and wedding followed by children and a happy, settled life together but I'm not sure how quickly he sees that happening. Will see how the next few months go but I know that if we are not moved in together or engaged by September next year I am off...
