I was meant to have an Obstetrics telephone call this afternoon and they haven’t called. Has anyone had the same? The letter said it could be within a 2 hour window but that has also passed and I can’t get through to them. Does it normally go out with the 2 hour window?

I’m 6 weeks tomorrow and I still don’t have a 3+ on a clear blue - is that bad? Second baby and struggled to conceive my first, so I’m still in the denial stage 😂
