Thank you all so much for your kind words, it makes it easier to get through something like this.

Thinking about it more and taking in all your advice, it really does make sense that I hadn't ovulated when I went for the test on day 17. I told FS about how when I'd used the opks I kept getting feint lines and was waiting for it to become a really clear line (like it had the previous month) but instead it disappeared altogether - and that was the day that I went to get the blood test thinking that I had left the test a little late. I think I went for the test on a Tuesday and the FS told me that I must have ovulated well before that, perhaps even before the weekend. But when he said it he wasn't too sure, he was like 'yes, you probably did ovulate then, yes you probably did'. I suppose an indication that I didn't ovulate when he said I did was that the baby was only measuring 6 weeks when I was supposed to have been 7weeks and 2 days.

So perhaps progesterone wasn't an issue at all and I suppose that could have been ruled out if my GP had given me a test when I first found out I was pregnant.

The obstetrician that I had booked with was actually Dr Keeping. Everybody has said such wonderful things about him and I was excited to have booked with him reading all the positive reports. I suppose that I dealt with his staff and not him, I've never even met the man. He sounds like he's helped so many people but for me it just seemed like I was being told to 'call back' by his staff (or my mum when I was unable to string a sentence together) and I felt like I had absolutely nowhere to turn.

I have decided that I'm not going to go back to the FS - he's sacked. He does suck! I think it would just be a waste of time and money to see him. I'm back to thinking 'how could he get it so wrong?'.
