Stupid doctor's appointment

So my appointment was a complete waste of time.

The doctor (locum, not my usual) was somewhere in the region of 30,000 years old. My heart sank as I walked in.

He simply repeated "your results are normal" to everything I said. I told him of the latest research suggesting that TSH levels above 3 should be treated and that the ideal for a pregnancy achievement is 1.5-2.0. "Your results are normal".

I asked about the ratio of FSH to LH. "Your results are normal".

I asked what would come next. "Your results are normal, so there isn't much to do"

I said that since I am trying to get pregnant I would quite llike some help. "Well, on average it takes 18-24 months to get pregnant so why are you worried?"

What the fuck? I told him that wasn't the accepted average and I would like to start the process now, given that my thyroid was higher than it should be.

"Your results are normal. We have nothing to treat. You can't be referred to a gynae until your husband gives a semen analysis."

"What about the fact that my results indicate that there are problems with me too? Do I not warrant treatment just for my own health? Current research indicates that my thyroid result is not good"

"Your results are normal by the standards of this lab. I don't know what else to say."

Ad nauseum.

So that is the end. The Baron is simply not willing to give a sample because he won't go to the doctor. He thinks we should just keep on trying because it eventually worked for his parents. They tried for years to have his brother - and look how that turned out?

So no referral for me, and therefore no treatment or further investigation for me whether it be for fertilty or for just my own health. I'm at a dead end.

I'm going to see my usual doctor next week when she returns, but this will all be on my file. I don't have much confidence that she will do anything else.

And to add insult to injury, I got a fucking parking ticket whilst sitting through this shit.
