Pissed off!!!

Hey, little rant coming... My nurse and doctor are really trying to get me seen by a gynecologist at the hospital... Whilst waiting for the referral I've had bloods, swabs and pelvic scan and all came back normal.. The waiting list on the NHS is 8 months, so I got back on the phone to my doctors as I said I can't wait that long to be seen as I am turning 40 in July. They have agreed to do bloods for a progrestone blood test on CD 21 and a blood test at the hospital for Lupus anticoagulant screening due to needing to be back in the lab for testing in an hour. I read my notes on the app and the gynecologist without seeing me, further tests has just said my chances are 20% to get pregnant due to my age😡😡 and if I want to skip the queue go private 😡😡.  The age comment has really got to me today 😢

It's shocking isn't it xxx

I mean I have lost 8 babies they done tests everything is fine and I'm 42 now I have had tests to see if I'm going through the menopause and I'm not it's not the falling pregnant it's the keeping the pregnancy xxx

@Dreia thank-you darl it is really hard xxx

20% is that different to normal figures for someone younger trying to concieve naturally. However they like to hold our age against us, which is wrong! I'm 43 and trying for number 4. I have a friend recently got pregnant naturally at 45. Progesterone test at CD 21 will show if ovulation is occurring. Chin up. Don't give up.
