this is fascinating stuff - i never really knew about clomid, so I am very intrigued!!
hope you're still bouncing off the walls lissie.
Well my day:
Kept the gp appt i had made - she was really nice actually, and was muttering about if we wanted to start talking about looking into why 2 miscarriages she would be willing to look into it sooner rather than later. i didn't really take that in though so will need to go back about that.
she called the hospital (one of 2 with gynae sections locally- a different one from the one i went to the epu at last time) and they told her to send me with a letter for the gynae SHO on call , via a and e. so off we trotted to hospital.
all so far so good. got seen by triage quickly, she took me straight to gynae. they sat me in waiting room and told me to do urine sample. Idiot features here had just done an almighty wee (and changed sanitary towel) before i saw triage cos I thought i would be in for a long wait. I managed to get a trickle out.
nurse came back and said the sample was showing negative on thier pg tests. I'm not surprised cos it was a dribble of wee after drinking heaps of water to try and manage anything, midday so not morning urine. but she said that the dr would not see anyone without a positive pregnancy test.
basically bugger off.
she said my hpt must have been wrong . I said "i did two". she said "oh well the baby has probably died". This is all after, upon my arrival, seeing gp note, commenting that gp should not have diagnosed "miscarriage" without examining me. F&4k me - she's diagnosed me as a silly girl with a late period panicking about nothing really, hasn't she?! - without examining me.
She told me to go back to my gp, get them to take bloods then refer me somewhere else - maybe outpatients.
At this i had to leg it after dh cos i had sent him home to get on with work after i gave my sample in cos we thought it would be ages and ages and he really really needs to get work done for services sat and sunday. He now feels mega guilty cos he woud have argued with them - although Ipointed out that they prob still wouldn' t have sene me cos their bloody test showed up negative and their "rules".
I called gp - all of them were in a meeting, no afternoon surgery - so I am waitng for her to call me back tomorrow. I don't harbour hopes that my bloods will show much -(if i get them done) - maybe hcg levels will still be higher than a non pg woman, but i imagine i'm slipping through the net here.
gp sent me precisely to check that I have miscarried fully, and to check for fibroids, and I am really quite uncomfy on one side - particularly in my back, so a scan would have put my mind at ease, but because they would not take my word for it, i get sent home
grr. I was almost crying with the pain in the left of my back this afternoon (a bit better with paracetamol now) but i have nowhere to go with the worry cos i'm not pregnant.
