Hi I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice on how to proceed.
I've been ttc for 18months with a ?Chemical pregnancy a few months ago. I went to the GP after a year and had day 3 and 21 blood tests. I've had a pelvic ultrasound and DH has done 2 sperm samples. My ultrasound showed polycystic shaped ovaries, my bloods however were in normal limits so GP says no PCOS. I was found to be anaemic and have vitamin b12 deficiency. The GP has corrected this.
Anyway to get to the problem, at my last visit to the GP he said he would refer us for NHS IVF but he thinks we are unlikely to be accepted. He says that he will not refer me to a gynae as it is not necessary and advised me to go private. When I asked about a HSG he said he didn't see the point as it would not get me pregnant!
Neither me or my DH have children and I think I'm at least entitled to be referred to a gynae. I'm so angry at my GP, he has been totally unsympathetic during this whole process. I'm planning on going to see a different GP at the same practice and am worried about getting the same spiel from them. Can anyone advise me of what my rights are?
Thanks and sorry for such a long message!
