Well, finally my appointment has come through. I was taken off all my medication at my last consultation and was told I'd have to wait 6-8 weeks to see the nurse for the hormone tests. Its since been 11 weeks, and after ringing the hospital a few times I've finally got an appointment for Friday. I am to fast from Thrusday night and be there for 8am (argh I dont do mornings lol). They are giving me an injection to stimulate my hormones, and will be taking a series of blood tests to see what they are doing. I think its quite a simple proceedure. I will probably have to wait a few weeks to see the endocrinologist again, which is when I'll get the results. At least after Friday I can get back on my medication, and hopefully regain a bit of control over my raging hormones lol

The nurse didnt say. I was prewarned I'd have to fast, and it was a day long proceedure. However, the nurse confirmed I'd have to fast, but said I'd be home by lunch, thats all I know. Im having a tube in my arm where they'll give me an injection to stimulate my hormones, and then a series of blood tests will be taken, then Im free to go home. Its all to do with the PCOS so I assume they are looking for oestrogen and levels of testosterone, but I didnt ask specifically what the tests were for. I'll ask her on Friday.
