PCP Visit

SUCKED!! OMG! I swear, some doctors are seriously stupid. I have a lot more thoughts but they are very mean so I'll leave it at that.
My appt was at 3:40. I got there a little early, and figured maybe they'd take me early. Ha. Didn't happen. I actually went back almost 40 mins after. Then, the nurse acted like I was crazy when I said why I was there, and she frantically started looking for the paperwork that was supposed to be faxed from the ER. She came back about 20 mins later and said she was sorry but they never sent any of it, and the department she needed was closed for the day and I'll need to reschedule. Ummmm I already paid my ridiculous co-pay, do I get to come back for free next time? Nope. It's not their fault that the hospital didn't do their job. So, I started to get a little moody, and she said she would just have the doctor come in anyway.

The doctor comes in, and he acts just as confused as the nurse, and starts asking me to describe the way I felt that night. I pointed to where the pain was, and said that it went around my back and somewhat up my back, that I couldn't get comfortable in any position, and just felt extremely miserable. He asked if I did my research on all this before coming in because I sound very text book. When I got a little moody, he grinned a little and continued with his questions. I started explaining my concerns with the study, and the fact that we just found out I ovulated and there is a strong possibility that I'm pregnant, and that had him shocked apparently. He said "Oh so you are actually hoping that your pregnant?" Like it's a crime or something. And, I've been there for referrals to RE's before, so they already know all this. Anyway, when he found out that, he wanted to do a urine test. I explained it's too soon, so he said that we should wait till I find out either way, and get the hospital to send them my info, and go from there. I said that I do not want to wait around with this, and the referral process takes a while, so if I'm not pregnant this month, I can't be taking a month or 2 off from the study. A few weeks, yes, but I'm not willing to sit there and let them jerk me around. I paid for what I was supposed to, I wanted the referral. And I wanted to go home. He got the number for where I want to go, and said someone will call me when they get more info. Apparently though, it's not recommended to get the surgery done while pregnant, so who knows how this will end up if I do find out I'm pregnant.
Right now I don't have any pain. I'm crampy, but it's low, uterus type cramping (hopefully good sign!!!) and I'm able to eat normal again for now. I'm taking the pepcid, which apparently is pregnancy safe just in case, and I've felt pretty good.

I did not get my blood results today. The nurse had to leave a little early so I missed out. She is good about contacting bright and early, so I'll know tomorrow morning. I'm hoping and praying that the pregnancy test is positive. It's kinda early, but a possibility that it can be detected already. Tomorrow is day 25 already. After I find out results of the progesterone, then I can decide if I'm going to start going crazy on the pee sticks.

I'm still so excited about the fact I ovulated, so for now, the whole PCP and surgery delay is no big deal. It will work out somehow. I'll just stay in my happy little world right now. Every few mins tonight I would tell my husband "the meds work!" and we would start laughing. It feels so good to have found something that I respond to.

I've been up way too long so I'm going to bed early tonight. I'll update tomorrow as soon as I get my results. I hope I have even better updates tomorrow :)
