Reccos for Gyno’s in Glasgow pls 🙏

Looking to get a pre-conception check (I’m actually 3 months in to TTC and taking prenatals). I’m pretty desperate to get peace of mind as to whether there is anything hindering me from conceiving before that suggested 12 month mark. Is there a female gyno specialist anyone has had a positive experience with?👍
