Customer Question

Good day I was curious to see if I could get some help as I havent had a period since February and my regular GP won't assist until August. I am looking to get pregnant
JA: Are you in any pain? How regular are your periods?
Customer: My periods used to be regular but haven't had one since February. I'm not in pain
JA: Is there anything else the Doctor should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: I had surgery for a chronic degenerative condition that affected my nutrition in April. I've had the condition for years but was only diagnosed in January. Prior to this I havent not had my period for such a long time
