at my appoinments i just started from the begining by telling him i started meses late (age 17) and then told him all the info on birth control i used , how often my menses were just everything really but i went well prepared i had done lots of research into why i have these issues and how to help them, possible reasons for having no AF.

i had also done plenty of reserch into fertility drugs and the way things go when given them .... it helps if you have a supportive doctor also

if you don't understand something just ask i left forgetting to ask the most important question .... good luck xx

Hey amanda - don't have advice but i know a few ladies have posted quite detailed reports of their appts in their journals... so you might want to flick through a few before you go
good luck

Good luck Amanda - let us know how you get on. Ask them how soon things can start to happen.

Is the specialist at the hospital, or a private/public clinic?

Hope it went well.

I was asking, as in Wellington the private clinic sees the publically referred patients too.
