Should I push for a doctor to call me?

I had an ERPC in January, was my third miscarriage and they sent the 'tissue' (hate referring to it like that) off for testing. In that time I've had a 4th miscarriage.

I've chased results multiple times and was told this week that the results are finally in but that I'll need a doctor to explain. I have an appt with them to discuss recurrent miscarriage in early August and they said they'll discuss it then.

I feel so angry about this and just want some opinions on whether I'm being overly emotional or if it's right that I feel that after 6 agonising months someone could spare 5 minutes to tell me what the results are?? I don't know whether to call and kick up a fuss or just leave it be. Grateful for any thoughts.

Sorry for your loss Flowers That is dreadful, my test results were back in about 9 weeks from both my last 2 MCs and the consultant at the recurrent miscarriage clinic went through them with me fairly promptly after that - I had an ERPC in Jan too, repeated in March as they’d missed a bit. Are they saying that’s the soonest you can be seen at the recurrent miscarriage clinic or is this your GP?

@Sunbird24 thank you so much, really sorry for your loss too ❤️ the RCM is in the EPU that I had my ERPC. They're the ones who have the results and have me booked in to discuss blood tests in August. I just hoped they could have a doctor call me and tell me the bottom line with regards to the results. I've been waiting for so long and the anxiety is eating away at me. It's worse now I know the results are within reach

Might your GP be able to tell you, if you can get an appointment with them sooner? I guess it might depend on what the results say, but there’s probably no harm in asking - the worst they can say is that they’re not specialists and you’re best off waiting until your appointment.

Could you go via PALS and ask them to send you the results?
