My Brilliant GP!

Went to my GP today as had nots of unanswered questions about my ectopic in September. She was brilliant, so kind and very pro-active at the same time.

She answered all my questions and the ones she didn't know she called a consultant up there and then to ask him!

She's sending me for blood tests to check i'm not anaemic and also to check my folate and potassium levels. She's also checking my rubella immunisation still works as some women need a top up.

They also said after 16 years as a GP she's only seen a handful of women who have a second ectopic which reassured me. She also confirmed that it's 3 months to ttc regardless of how many doses of methotrexate you have.

Came out feeling a whole lot better! x x
