GGGGGRRRRRR
finally got DH to phone his GP today as it's been 8 weeks since she said she'd refer him for an SA and not heard a single peep! they referred 2 weeks after the appointment and then had a letter back from the hosp 2 weeks ago, so a total of 6 weeks since he visited said GP and the letter said that he didn't turn up fpr his appoinment!!??? THAT'S CUS WE RECEIVED NOTHING TO TELL US WHEN IT WAS!!!!! FFS. anywho, GP is going to write and phone on Monday apparently, so going to get DH to phone mid week and check. Sorry pointless post but pretty miffed! he could've done 1 by now and poss the 2nd (if it was needed) before my appointment, now we'll be lucky if 1 is done!!! GGGRRRR. Ok feel better now. :roll:

Hope you get it sorted!

It seems you are going to have to keep hastling them until you get the test, good luck xx
We will get there, just so annoying we have to take the scenic route! x x
We need to try and pick each other up on the s**t days!
I totally get how you feel, when you spend half your life waiting and waiting it is such a waste when things aren't done. When is your next appointment? I'd tell your consulant you're disappointed that SA not been done and you want tehm to get a move on!
I'll be sure to update you, got no idea what is going to happen. had some forms to fill in so hope they plan some tests rather than do more form filling! x x
It's a big step going & you put all your hopes on it so when they mess you around it's just not on.
I know with your appt as well they said 6 wks but chase them every wk anyway to make sure they do, do it.
They are so damn slow sometimes, example I got a letter last wk from my cons secretary from when we were under recurrent mc explaining some of the results from tests, ahh hello!! Do you get my point here they work like blimin snails & sometimes you have to keep on at them so they get on with it.
Hello MP I will be sure to keep a look out for your update, if anything drop me a mail on fb letting me know how it went.
have you got a list of Q you may wnat to ask them & take a note pad so you can jot down anything they say, it can be a bit overwhelming & you want to remember everything, I used to look like a secretary taking notes LOL!!
Love to you both xxx
I thought I would gatecrash your thread to say 'hello'. I have been off the radar for a while as the whole ttc really got to me.
Like you Rocky we have started going through tests. I have had my 21 day bloods done and hubby has had the SA done, so next step a referral to hospital now. It's been a year since I fell preganant and 10 months since mmc I am soooo fustrated.
Keep your chin up Rocky, things will fall into order for you, this malarky is a real timing thing isn't it??? Oh well, I'm glad to see that you are feeling better. Take care xxx
I hope the appt comes soon then, that's what I mean by chasing the waiting game tho keep ringing to see were on the list you are LOL that's what i've done in the past when i've had gynae appts when I had the endo I used to just ring all the time to see if the list had gone down LOL I got an appt in the end & sooner than expected he he he persistance paid off either that or they got sick of me ringing!! xxx

You are right, at least by the time you get tehre you will already have had a lot of info that will help them move you forward a lot quicker once you get there.

I just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel. The cogs of the NHS can turn very slowly, and being patient can only go so far. Persistent calling is definitely the way to go, and I'm going to follow my own advice and call the hospital again tomorrow morning to chase up a call to arrange an appointment.. I can't believe I need an appointment to make an appointment!!!
Anyway, since finding out that there are physical issues like abnormal SA for DH, and PCOS for me, I def feel less anticipation this month, but would dearly love to find out what the options are now. I'm going to have to stop myself from shouting HURRY UP down the phone tomorrow!!!
Hope things start moving for you, and sending you all much good luck x
I called the NHS appt line this morning as planned, and have now been told it's a 14 day period in which they have to call be back, so I guess I just have to keep waiting. Well done to you Rocky for taking positive action today
