Re: Advise about GP negligence
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancies and losses,
I am afraid we are unable to comment specifically on your experience although I am sorry that you have been through such a difficult time.
As a charity, we are aware that ectopic pregnancy can be notoriously difficult to diagnose because it often presents with symptoms that can be suggestive of other, more usual, conditions such as gastroenteritis, miscarriage or even appendicitis. Doctors rely on women to give them clear histories about their symptoms and so the more you can tell a doctor about what has changed, what feels different and what is worrying you, the more likely they are to be able to diagnose you. This can be difficult for both parties.
If you feel able, perhaps you could send an email or letter to the practice manager outlining your concerns and requesting further information on your management.
I have found some information on citizens advice if you wish to pursue a complaint further

Sending much love,
