Brilliant ladydoc! BFP buddies!
Yes chasing the self referral is excellent, one of the benefits of living in London. I didn't know about it before, and called the gp, all for them to ask me to wait for the doctor to call me back, who then told me to go to the walk-in the next day, one of the downsides of living in London. I will always go straight to the epu at the first sign of any problem as they were great, but hadn't thought about doing as you suggested before, that was a good suggestion.
