Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm looking for some advice. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks while abroad on holiday last week. The doctors I saw there were brilliant and did scans straight away, and confirmed that I had definitely miscarried. Both doctors I saw while there insisted that I see my own GP on my return the UK to have my blood/hcg levels checked. I returned home on Monday - its now Friday, and it's so far been impossible to get an appointment with my GP - the surgery policy is phone on the day at 8am to get a same day appointment, however every day I phone all the appointments are gone! I did explain to the receptionist what had happened and she took advice from someone in the practice, and told me I didn't need to be seen as a matter of urgency unless I was having 'problems'. It seems that they are not interested as it happened last week. I have never been in this situation before, and thankfully neither has anyone I know so I don't know how necessary it is to attend any follow up appointments? I feel fine now, the cramping has stopped as has the bleeding. Can anyone tell me what happened after their miscarriage, is there a need to attend a doctor? Thanks!
