Just need a bit of a rant. Started fertility testing in November as we'd been unsuccessfully ttc for a year. Sent for bloods and swabs, all OK. Had a scan which showed fibroids that could be blocking my tubes. Dh was due his SA last week but the clinic rearranged this to March before Christmas. Saw the GP today and was sure he'd at least refer me to gynecology due to the scan results. But he won't until my dh has had his SA.
We asked if we went private for the test would that help, be said he'd accept it but was unsure if the NHS fertility clinic would.
So we're in limbo. I found a local private clinic that can offer same day results and he can get in within the best week. But don't want to waste money if the NHS won't accept / recognise them. Also unsure if my dh will even get his apt in March as the resin given was staffing issues.
I'm so frustrated and sad that we can't even get in the door to find out what the issue is. I understand the pressures of the NHS (I work in the NHS and I value it) but I'm so deflated and sad.
Anybody else trying to navigate to ye unknown and want to rant? Or any advice?
