Two blogs in one week?????????/

Well this has to be a first for me, blogging twice in the same week! But after this morning I just had to get this off my chest and basically you (Whoever MIGHT be reading this, as I have never had any comments I might even be writing to no body lol)

It probably goes without saying but ...I have failed yet again to get pregnant, period number 9 (Or number 21 if you include the whole of 2008's failed attempt) started yesterday and is in full painful force today.
I tried to take positive proactive action instead of just curling up and crying like I am inside, so I took myself off to the hospital for my repeated day2 hormone blood test (They are testing my FSH level to see whether I am near menopause and testing my LH level to see whether I am ovulating)
I had this done and then went off to the xray department to inform them I have started another cycle as they requested so they could book me in for the Hysterosalpingogram xray as it has to be done within the first 10 days of the cycle.

So I popped up at the reception desk and explained why I was there, the...lady said I could not  have the test done "Here and now", I explained I understood this because I knew I had to take the antibiotics and painkillers an hour before and said I had only come instead of phoning as I was at the hospital for the blood test anyway.
That was when this woman showed exactly how kind, professional and sensitive she was, she said "Can I finish? you cannot have the test AT ALL this month as the consultant who does them is away so I am telling everyone they will have to TRY again NEXT MONTH!"
I was stunned and gutted and said I could not believe there was only ONE person in the whole hospital (Which is not some little country hospital, but instead a large general one) and I would be in touch.
I went home with my oldest and youngest sons who were with me, got angry and then got on my trusty lap top and emailed PALS (Patient liason) to get them to explain the obsurd situation and to tell them how rude their front line staff were. I am waiting to hear back...
