Follow up with the Doctor

you_me_and_baby · #1 (**permalink**) 10-31-2007, 06:25 AM

Hey all, i've been so busy this week that I've not had a chance to write.

So I had a follow up appointment with my doctor yesturday, he just wanted to check my blood pressure make sure the medication is working and that it has come down being on the medication. It has, so thats the good news! I think this doctor isnt terrible, she listens to me, kinda, and I think that she is doing the best she can't which isnt much. So she has decided the best course of action is to send me to a fertility clinic. She tells me its the best in the city and that they can then monitor me and get down to business and find out my problem. Yes we've been trying to get pregnant for just about a year and a half. Yes this is something we want really really badly. Yes we are activily trying and praying every month. But fertility problems??? I don't believe that there are serious problems, I believe that as of the last 2 cycles is the most normal my body has been in a year. I believe that some of its caused by the BCP and it has just taken this long to cycle through my system. I believe that its just a matter of time and we'll get pregnant. I'm not saying that the Fertility Clinic is out of the question, I'm just saying that maybe its a bit premature. I think my doctor sees me in the waiting room and starts dreading seeing me. When we start talking about my DH and I trying to have a baby she gets the deer in the headlights expression on her face...."uh oh, what do i say now, what can i say to this girl, uh no uh no uh no" I just feel that she is dumb founded has no idea where to go from here and its better to shuffle me off to someone else then to deal with me. What happens if I'm taking a spot at the fertility clinic of someone that truly needs some help, that there is truly legit problems. Maybe I've got some series legit problems, but maybe its too soon to say that. Maybe I'm being just too positive thinking... oh its not me its the BCP.... oh its not me DH and I, just have our timing off.....

So many thoughts not enough time. Whats your guys take?

maybe I'm just losing it. This week has been an extremely busy busy week, and today, I'm tired, my lips are chapped, I don't want to go to work because I know there is more work then I can complete in a day. I'm stressed out, I wanna pull my hair out!! I'M CRAZY SOMEONE HELP ME!! LMAO

Ciao for now all

PS. Hey Tiff, how ya feeling, has your book come in yet? you've been awfully quiet over there LOL. Late-a

Hey Taryn!

First off, I'm glad your meds are working out good!

!

My take would be to take a gander at the fertility clinic. Even if they don't find anything, you will know you're headed down the right path.

I'm a person that would rather know everything is okay instead of wondering...

And my book should be here either today or tomorrow.

I think you think too much!

I'm glad your doc is sending you to a specialist. They know what they're doing and she probably doesn't so good.......now you're heading in the right direction. They're not going to go straight to IVF or anything like that.

They'll ask you questions and probably order blood work. They may suggest doing a simple procedure to check if your tubes are open.......I hear this can help you be more fertile in the cycles to follow.

This is a good thing

Thx guys!! You are right it is better to know then not know at all. I totally feel that this is out of my family doctors experties so it is a good thing.

Tiff, I'm so glad that book will be here soon, I really think you'll get a lot out of it!!!

Holly think too much, me??? *gasp* Yeah, your right, I analysize and think about everything until its no longer the same thing I initially thought about!!! LOL It sure keeps things insteresting thats for sure!

Don't feel bad Taryn - I'm the same exact way!! I over-analyze EVERYTHING to the point that my husband thinks I'm a nutbag.

I'm really excited to get my book~it's taking far too long in my opinion for it to get here.

*cough* Tiff take your own advice and get your little bum to the Doc and let hubby go too

*cough* If he is willing I say it is worth it.

PS. Are you still all "crossed" for us??

With your history of long cycles and everything, I as well would be looked at. Hey they might be able to do something as simple as put you on Clomid and bang you get pg! I agree with Holly and say that they definetly won't be giving you the IUI or the IVF right away. Though they may talk about it. They really go in steps when they don't know for sure there is or what is wrong.
Good Luck! and see it as a new hope for you! And for the taking someone elses place. Trust me they would pack us in like sardeens if they had too. That is their bussiness. They love seeing us coming. The more the merrier!!

Thanks Jodi,

Of course you are all right, I'm worry about nothing and its better to go then do nothing at all and only have a dream of being a mom one day.

Though on a side note, they have cancelled me at the fertility clinic. When the doctor told me that this was her plan it was okay Ill stand by for confirmation of an appointment I left and the reception called me. The first refereal my doctor put me in for which was a gynocologist called back, and they figured lets go with that one instead of the fertility clinic. The appointment isnt until December 18th, and I'm on a cancellation list should there be a possibility of getting in sooner. Lets hope that I get pg on my own before then!!! that would make my Christmas.

I got to see my newly pregnant sister inlaw. shes three months along and shes HUGE!! LMAO I had to rub her tummy, it was nice, as though it hurt, I think I'm okay with it. I am excited for them, Ill put my heartache on hold and concentrate on being very thrilled for this change in their life. Ill have my day.... one day.

well, I better get to work, ahhh. though on a really happy note I've got tomorrow off. I'm finding now that I've started getting af regularly or at least 2 months in a row things are different in me. Like I'm tired. when dh and I bd I feel like hes consently hitting my cervix... does that make sense? Do you guys experience this??? I don' tknow its just SOOOO different from how it used to be. *shrug* I dunno.
