Has anyone had a hysteroscopy?

@rashida I've been reading your helpful comments and questions on some of the other discussions. I'm wondering where you are with trying to get the hysteroscopy in Ontario. Would the hysteroscopy be accompanied by a D&C (dilation & curetage)? I had both of these. I ask this because I wonder if a D&C could be scheduled at a hospital in Ontario where you can have anesthesia. What other options are available to you?

I listen and/or read the CBC news most every day and there is often information about the lack of primary care providers and the backlogs in hospitals. This includes EDs that have to close during certain hours because they are understaffed.

@naturegirl5 I live in Kitchener, Ontario. My doctor tried every hospital in the Wellington County area and apparently hospitals here will not do hysteroscopies. I later found out that it was a Nurse Practitioner who attempted to do the hysteroscopy at an ultrasound clinic.

I have now been referred to a gynaecologist and have a consult with her on May 8. The reviews on her have been negative for the most part, but my doctor has tried several gynaecologists in Kitchener and none others are taking new patients, so it’s a case of either see her, or forego the hysteroscopy which she may attempt - possibly in office without anesthesia since hospitals have stopped doing them here. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have had daily pelvic pain ever since the January 23 fails attempt by the Nurse Practitioner.
