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!

Lissie, it's amazing how insenstive these guys can be, I really don't think they can have any clue what the average woman facing this goes through. But, look at it postively, at least he sorted the crap hospital out. I had an HSG a few months ago and was told it had to be within 14 days but this is to try and make sure you are not pregnant and they work on that most women ovulate around day 14. You did mention that 'we can ttc in the meantime' but I assume you know not to until after the HSG? Sorry if I sound like some bloody nurse (or horrible consultant!), just thought I'd mention what I was told. Good luck though and thinking of you.
