Very frustrated

I got some sleep, but not much today. It was so nice, and Kristopher didn't want to be stuck inside. And every time I got him settled with a movie and snuggling with me, the phone rang and ruined that. I was able to eat supper and am kinda crampy and achy again, so I plan to take a pill for that soon, and snuggle up on the couch with my warm blanket and watch Greys Anatomy and Private Practice tonight. I already warned my husband that I might not make it to bed if I get too comfy.

I called my PCP about the referral. They will not just fax a referral because that's now how they work. There is a copay for 2 mins with the doctor. I called the surgeon that was recommended by a friend. They won't even talk to me till they receive the referral. I tried discussing the study and my concerns and the lady snapped and said we can discuss any and all concerns at my first appt. Apparently I'll have 2 appts. With specialist co pays. Great. Just wonderful. I hate my insurance. I have talked to the study nurse and doctor and they both seem really concerned and sympathetic. I was in tears on the phone when trying to explain it all. They were nice and reassuring about it so I feel better. I have my appt earlier on Monday, 8am, so that my results are back before my appt with the PCP. And, I'm going to talk to them and see if they know of a better surgeon that could get this thing moving for me faster and that would be nicer about the study. Everyone so far acts like they don't understand it, and they probably don't. Like the doctor last night, I asked about the meds, if they are safe if this cycle worked and I'm just really really early pregnant, and he said "your tests are negative so you have no concerns". Yes, it would be negative on day 20!
I wanted to say thanks for all the emails and support about all this. It means a lot.
