Try #4

Alright well here we go again. After taking a break from fertility treatments I didn't have a period for three months. I finally started a period at the end of last month and it lasted 25 days, yes almost a whole month. I will take it as a clearing of the female system to get ready for a baby. :) Mike and I have changed some things up since our last cycle. We were going to try cycle #4 with Dr. Minjarez our normal doctor but it felt I couldn't trust her word anymore. When I had asked if I could please use injections for my next cycle over the phone the answer was yes. When I called in to tell them I had started a period they asked me to come in on cycle day 5. Usually I don't have to go in on cycle day 5 so I asked why. They said that Minjarez wanted to check out my follicles before proceeding with the injections. What first came to my mind was for her to see one follicle and say "ok looks like you have one good one, let's not to injection this round." I know my body, one follicle does not work for me I need more than that to conceive, so I looked elsewhere. I found an RE that's actually in their same building but a floor down. Her name is Dr. Woodford, I was able to have a phone consult with her a few weeks back to see if her plan would be different from Dr. M's she said it would. She is willing to listen more to her patients and word work with me more. So I made my appointed to an insulin resistance test and meeting. I was the first patient in the building that day and was proud of myself for even being early. I had told them about the insulin draw and because that is a three our test I thought they would do that first thing. Instead they didn't say a thing about and call me back 20 minutes later to talk to Dr. Woodford, I then waited another 20 minutes and found out that Dr. Woodford wasn't even in the building yet for my appointment. When she came in, she came in scrubs and looked nothing like the picture I saw of her on the internet, I honestly didn't think it was her until she introduced herself. I was already annoyed that even though I was early to the appointment I had to wait an additional 40 minutes just to talk to her and repeat everything I had told her on the phone, it's like she had no idea I had ever talked to her. I brought Dr. M's medical records in with me and was already hesitant to hand them over. But she took them made copies then told me that she really liked Dr. M and would probably do the same things she did. I couldn't believe she said that, she had told me on the phone all the different things she would have done. But now she has changed her mind, when I had had the cancelled cycle I had asked if she would have let me proceed she said she would but then today she changed her mind and said she would have canceled like Minjarez did. So I am just getting more angry and upset that I brought my medical records into her in the first place. She also told me on the phone that if I was on a bleed I couldn't be pregnant so she would not need to do a pregnancy test each time and if I had no history of cysts she would not do a cyst check. Well after I spoke with her I asked about the insulin draw in which she had no idea what I was talking about and said I probably wouldn't be albe to do it today. But that was the whole reason I fasted last night and in the morning as well as why I had come in so early. So it was going go happen and I was going make sure of it, I went to get blood drawn and she then told I needed a pregnancy test because well I just have too. I was on a period so she was going back on her word, after the blood draw she asked for....yes a cyst check the ultrasound she said I wouldn't need if I didn't have a history of cysts and we just went over my history where I have none. So I am already done with this place feeling uncomfortable and I feel Dr. Woodford is unsure with herself and her practice, just doing whatever Dr. M would have done. I know that CCRM would require pregnancy test, and cyst check so I let it happen and decide I will just send over paper work at the end of the week. So I don't know yet if I am regretting this decision to try and find another dr or if it's just better to know I am with the right person but it was a frustrating day and I am ready to be done with it.
