This morning's blood check was fairly uneventful. I got my results back and my HCG has dropped to 1,000-something. I didn't really hear the number because I'm over it at this point. The nurse told me I'd have to go back next week to give blood again and make sure the number drops below 5. So I will be waiting another week. Great.
As far as dr visits go, I had one minor set-back. One of the dr appointments I made yesterday ended up being at an office that is almost a two hour drive away. Considering that would be a four hour road trip in one day for probably a fifteen minute visit, Husband and I decided that for a few lab visits we could simply visit a dr who is a lot closer to us. If stuff starts to get serious then we'll revisit whether or not we feel comfortable going to this dr or one that is further away. The problem is, I was disappointed in my new RE's office because they gave me the name of the dr who was two hours away. When I asked them for the name of another dr closer to me they sort of seemed shocked that I would ask that and flatly said that they don't have many patients that live as far away as me. This really irritated me because, while I do sort of live far away, they can't give me the name of a dr that's within an hour's drive to me? I live approximately 1.5 hour away from my RE, but I know of several women who go or have gone to this RE and who also live about an hour away from them and I'm sure they would not want to drive another half hour further to visit this specialist. So to blame it on me that I live far away is just insulting. I don't want to get fed up with this new RE office before I even start, but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth. It frustrates me that they wouldn't give me any other dr names. This is a huge city with lots of outlying suburbs and I'm sure if you wanted to you could give me a name, but no. You can't because probably you have a contract with THAT office to not refer clients to other drs. What a joke. This is honestly the kind of stuff that makes me feel like I should not even be going to a dr at all. None of them can please me and it just blows my mind that drs offices are so shady.
On the bright side, this morning when I got up I had a super awesome surprise from my wonderful husband! I thought he had already left for work, but when I went downstairs he was still there and he was hurrying to get out of the house but I had caught him anyway! He had brought me some flowers so they would be in the kitchen when I woke up and he wrote me a very sweet note. It really brightened my day and touched my heart that he would think to do that. It made me even more glad to be married to him. He is such a blessing to me during these turbulent times and he always listens to my constant talk about infertility stuff - even when I know he does not want to hear it! He is the best and I love him so much! Thank you so much for everything, Babe!
