Fertility rant
Hey ladies šš¼ bit of a rant..
Im completely neglected by my gp , I have complained and now getting bullied and having a fight for anything anytime i try to contact them... basically i would like to get support and testing with fertility sooner than later; the quality control ombudsman said it can take up to 6 months to investigateā¦ Iām 40 in 6 months and cant afford to waste time to get supportā¦ who do we get referred to for fertilty? Can i contact them myself? Just at my wits end with fightingā¦
Aswell as my husband when he asked to get a fertility check at same gpā¦ it took them 4wks telling him he has to have an appointment with gpā¦ to say needs to be referred and that that appointment will take 4wksā¦ i asked him to chase and they were so rude and derogatory on reception and said youve not even waited 4wksā¦ and wouldnt even tell him who he gets referred to or contact details to chase himself š

Sounds tough, but so relatableā¦ š© ā¦ depending on which country you live in.
I am originally from Germany, where it s normal for women to have regular Gyno appointments & via your Gynocologist a knowledgeable person of contact for any reproductive issues (in Germany itās normal to have regular appointments every 3 months or so, for normal check ups, smear tests, early cancer checks etc - without having to be sick or having any issues) - but have also lived in the UK & am now living in Ireland & am shocked at the lack of womenās health care that is provided over here.
I too had asked my GP (in Ireland), how to start fertility checks, and she started googling it with me (no joke) - telling me, she knew from friends, the official process would take āagesā (no timeline or steps were known to her) and that I would be ābest off to do my own research on Redditā & that I would probably āend up going to a private clinic and pay a few hundred because the system takes too longāā¦
