I went into A&E yesterday with extreme stomach cramps (felt like labour) and bleeding. They did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I have still have a regular period every month with my last one being a week ago. I explained to them that the minimum I could be is 6 weeks and the max 13 (I had a negative test in July).
I sat in the A&E waiting room for 4 hours and then was told I could be waiting until the next day to see someone from gynaecology. I was given the option to self discharge and then make an appointment through my gp with gynaecology for today so I agreed self discharged and went home.
This morning I got a phone call from gynaecology saying that they didn't want to see me as my last period was a week ago so I'm only a week pregnant (I would have hoped they would have known this is impossible). They have told me that they are over run and I should just stay home and do a test in a week and only call back if it is positive.
I am still in a lot of pain and bleeding. I lost my last at 8 weeks and I was in nowhere near as much pain as this which is what worries me about just leaving it. I just want to know if this is common practise to not even be seen and if it has happened to anyone else?
