More reasons to run from my RE

Third day of Provera.  I can't believe I have to take this for four more days and hope this will bring out my period.

I felt so exhausted yesterday and I slept all day and all night.  I think it is from taking this medicine.  I also had a series of crazy dreams that kept on waking me and Tim up throughout the night.  Tim was pissed that I was screaming and grabbing him in the middle of the night.  I can't be held responsible for what I do when I am sleeping....

 I really don't think this pill will bring on the period.  If anything, I feel like it will mess things up.  Since I felt that I ovulated on or around 1/31/14, if nothing else,  I will be due having my period this coming Friday anyway.

I did a lot of thinking and researching this weekend about our RE.  Many reviewers complained the same things.  They seem too busy to care.  Their primary goal seem to be making money, they don't seem to have your best interest, etc.

Truly, do I have to wait for my period to have SIS done to see if my polyp is still there?  Or is she just trying to make easy bucks?  After all, that procedure takes less than 5 minutes but is over $1200 procedure based on reading the explanation of benefits.  Why couldn't my nurse ask the doctor a simple question until Wednesday when she physically walks in to the office that nurse works at?  She works at different location, I know that, but I called and spoke to a nurse on Friday.  Was my doctor on a fucking vacation outside of the cell phone range?  Is she too good to read emails in this day and age?

Didn't she seem to be so quick to jump on recommending us to do IVF?  After HSG. why didn't she explain to me what type of blockage it was?  Why didn't she give me a choice of taking a pill to induce miscarriage? When I spoke to the nurse, I told her I was sure I ovulated twice.  I told her I felt I ovulated and had a positive OPK at the beginning of January, then two weeks later, I felt like I was getting my period, but it was just a feeling.  I told her two weeks after that, I had another positive OPK.  Now, did the nurse tell my doctor all these details or did these details get lost by the time the message got to my doctor. Maybe the nurse told her all these details and she still didn't give a crap about what I was saying.  I will never know since it seems to be impossible to speak to my fucking doctor unless I make an appointment at over $300, only to receive a 5 minutes of her uncaring, can't wait to leave attitude appointment session.

Oh and I almost forgot. No I didn't forget, I just don't want to think about "what if" scenario, so I pretend that I forgot.  SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO PERFORM U/S ONE LAST TIME BEFORE SHE DID D&C.  SHE NEVER DID!!!!!!!!!  If she did, neither Tim or I were made aware that she did anything.  She was supposed to do U/S after that to make sure all of the contents were out.  Did she?  I don't think she did that either.  If she did, then why the hell do I need to still do SIS to see if the polyp is still there???  Tim said he didn't want to bring it up, because he was afraid doing so would have upset me more, but he said to me yesterday, right there, he was done with them.  

I tried to make excuses for my doctor, but I don't think I can any more.  It is a pain in a butt to start again with new doctor, but I guess that is what I need to do.  The thing is if she took her time to explain the reasons why she can and cannot do certain things at certain time, then, maybe it would have made me feel better.

  1. I'm sorry hun. The Lupron makes me really sleepy too so I know how you feel.

    I really think you should look for a new RE. It's always a pain trying to find a new doctor but I finally forced myself to with my OB because do I really want someone I don't like ruining my pregnancy experience and delivering my baby? And the answer is "no." If you don't like your RE, you have to ask yourself, is all this stress worth it? It's not. You deserve to find an RE who cares about you and your case. We're already going through enough stress as it is; our doctors should not be a source of stress.
