DH and i were referred to a specialist after multiple mc's and an ep. well, today AF arrived, i rang up to check on my HSG xray and they said that i couldnt have it done this month coz you have to have 10d between the start of your period and the HSG, we also had our follow up appt with the specialist today. he asked me (quite abruptly) why i hadnt had the HSG and i said that i had the 1st appt in march, in april an early mc so they wouldnt do it that month, and last month they were full during that 10d window.

he went mad and said that as long as i wasnt pg it could be done at any time. so while i was waiting to come in and examine me (remember, i have my period) he rang the hospital.

after the examination he said "it was shrewsbury hospital that you'd spoken to, not telford"
"thats right" sez i
"you didnt say that" sez he
"no, but.."
"why not"
"because.."
"they are both hospitals, but in different towns. didnt you know that mrs w?"

so i burst into tears. he gets my appt back for the 11th we have another follow-up in july and im on high dose folic acid, low dose asprin and have to gain 1/2 a stone.

great!

Are you going back to see him again at some point. If yes you should mention to him that if he is going to speak to you like that again then you would prefer to see somebody else. Or take your husband with you for support.

i was just so shocked! surely as a fertilty specialist he should be a bit more sensitive and less abrupt? wasnt my fault!

What a donkey, he should not have spoken to you that way. Tired/stressed or not tired/stressed. Crossing fingers that everything will go well at the next appointment.

Big hug to you.
