I'll start at the beta last Tuesday. So, remember I said it was negative? Well that was 14dpo according to their records when I was really only 11dpo (the whole trigger shot debacle that didn't work). So needless to say aunt flo was a not coming any time soon since I usually get her 16ish dpo. Well, clomid pushes that number back even further. So, today at 19dpo (22dpo if I go by offices o date) aunt flo decided to show.
Anyway, I had a doc appt this morning...an actual appointment with the actual doctor. Can you believe that?? I was pretty hesitant going into this appt since the doctor doesn't seem to have the best mannerisms if you ask me. He is very quick and really doesn't seem to listen to me much. I could see that me going in there and telling him I wanted certain tests done next month was probably not going to fare well.
And I was pretty much right. He walked in and asked me why I was there. I outlined the past 6 months for him telling him how I just don't see how 6 months have passed since my surgery and I'm still not pregnant....esp when he thought I would have no problem getting pregnant after I had the surgery. He asked me how aggressive we were willing to be to get pregnant. We informed him that we had 6 lifetime IUI's and no other coverage, so IVF is out. At that point, he pretty much wrote us off. He told us that since the "clomid and iui's were working fine" that we would stick to that. Fine? Fine? How is any of the past 2 months of clomid/iui's fine since I'm still not pregnant?
I also brought up the trigger shot and how it seemed to be ineffective. I questioned him if it was possible the batch was bad or it was mixed wrong since I never got a positive test and he kind of just shrugged. I told him that since I had no hcg was in my system 72 hours later that it seemed like something with the trigger went wrong. He tried to school me on the trigger and I cut him off telling him that with the half-life of the trigger and the number of days there is no way that I wouldn't have had any hcg left in my system. Later on, as he was leaving, he told me that its possible that the hpt was broken. I told him that I used 4 different brands of tests...one as low as 10miu so there is no way they were all giving me the wrong reading. He shrugged and walked out.
Other information I received from this visit was that when he went in and did the surgery he found some 'inflammation on/around my uterus'. Wow, that's news to me. Six months have gone by and I've yet to hear about this information. It seems as tho, after looking at my diagnosis codes that he wrote on my labcorp papers today, that he diagnosed me with endometriosis, pelvic peritoneum. Umm, what?? It would have been nice to be told any of that. He also mentioned that when he went in my tubes were open. Does this mean he opened them then?....or they were already open? No idea. He talks in circles which leaves more questions than answers.
So, this month I will be doing another prolactin draw since my numbers were high when they were checked back in December. He also said he will do another hysteroscopy which I don't really know why, but whatever. I also want a hsg done since that is the test that checks tubes and I will bring that up on Friday when I go in for my baseline bloodwork and ultrasound.
So where does this leave us now? Well Mike and I are super frustrated that we don't seem to be taken seriously. We feel like since we aren't going to be doing IVF that we aren't worthy of this doctors time. We will be doing this cycle with them and then we will be transferring to the other RE office in Delaware.
On a completely different, yet majorly awesome note, I am *STILL* super excited about the NSYNC reunion that happened on Sunday. Some people think it wasn't enough but knowing that it was extremely unlikely this was ever going to happen I was more than happy with their minute plus reunion medley. I said that if they did reunite that it would make my entire shitty year worth it and I do not take that back. NSYNC4LYFE!!
Oh and my baby starts preschool next Tuesday. ::sobs::
