  • Hello Daisydog21

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for a hysteroscopy appointment at the moment. it's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    We know that many hospital trusts are experiencing delays in being able to offer appointments at the moment and this is due to a number of factors. As you've been waiting a few weeks now with no further update, there's no harm in giving the department a call to ask about waiting list times and when you might be seen. If you're able to attend at short notice then it's also worth mentioning this in case there are any cancellations available. 

    We know that for many people this period of waiting for tests and results can be a worrying time and it's natural to have concerns. It can often help to chat things through with someone and I wonder if you might find it beneficial to chat with one of our nurses. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any information and support they can. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
