Over 50 attempts to call sexual health clinic this morning

been told I must phone 8:45 to get an appt. Keep phoning and phoning, have a boisterous 6 month old baby, v hard to have time to call, had what appears to be warts down there since just before I gave birth and hospital dr told me to get them checked by sexual health clinic. I am a single mother rarely have second to myself, at 8:45 I usually have to do something baby related, take her to a class, I can be forgetful due to baby etc, so I haven’t had chance to phone since I gave birth, sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Anyone else have a problem getting through to the sexual health clinic, how on earth do I get checked out given my circumstances? Tried Gp but they tell me go to sexual health clinic

On my 73rd attempt at calling back now, still says user is busy. I just desperately want to be seen. It seems no one else can help me. It puts me off calling again,will I have to go private?

Ring 5 minutes before they close. They always answer then and do everything they can to help you and to get you off the phone so that they can go home.

It’s probably not a great week, as they’ll likely close for a few days so everyone will be wanting to see them. Keep trying, but you might have more success in January.

If you’ve had the warts for six months and they’re not getting worse, I wouldn’t worry too much about an extra fortnight; although do get them checked out. Can you set a phone reminder for January if you’re worried you’ll forget?

If we need a gp appointment we have to call at 8am. What I do is call on two phones (mobile and landline) at the same time and see which one gets picked up first.

I finally got through, only to be told I can’t go there with a child, which might be near impossible! I am not too worried about them but they are unsightly and they’re not going away, I feel very self conscious, thankfully I am single although hope I won’t be for the rest of my life because of them!

Ours is dire to get through to.
Hope you are sorted soon.
