Scan was private, wife can only do morning appointments, hospital insisting on afternoons which isn’t possible for a number of reasons. Over 13 weeks along now and no dating scan by the hospital.

Why would they do this end is it even legal. My wife is now refusing to allow them inject her with anything as a result.

I assumed I wouldn't get anything for it but when it got so bad i went to the Dr I got antibiotics no problem (Augmentin) took a good week for it to go but I don't know how I would have managed without them. I'm Irish but not based in Ireland my GP was uk trained so I can't see it being that different from home. Hope she's ok the poor thing. I don't know what the depo injection is?
