Anyone else experience this!?

My crazy stupid pregnancy hormones... So yesterday I had my second ob apt but this was the first one with my doctor (who I've been going to for years and love). She just got a new office (started her own practice with a partner) and new computer system and I can tell she was flustered and trying to adjust to all the changes. So I didn't get the big "I'm so glad your finally here after your long heartbreaking journey! " she knows our history and what happened and she was the one who reffered us to my doctor with RMA. I mean she was still really nice and all and she's great but as soon as I got back in the car I started balling my eyes out about how much I miss my doctor Dr. Shastri from RMA! I was with her for a year and half and she's the best! I couldn't believe I was crying hysterical! Totally got to be the pregnancy hormones! Lol. Anyone experience this after leaning their RE?

Totally! I never got to actually see an ob with my last two bfps. But I was really sad when we stopped going after our failed FET. It felt so strange to not see them every week. It had been a part of my routine for so long!

I graduate from RMA next Wed. Dr. Molinaro said he is kicking me out. lol. My stay was a lot shorter then yours, but I can see how you can become very attached. RMA has been part of my routine since March and it is going to be weird not going there anymore. I am going to miss my weekly U/S seeing the babies and calls from my nurse.

no tears, but i definitely do miss my RE office. I loved the attention and time they devoted to me. I loved their portal system, and i loved their whole organizational system.

I hate my ob/gyn office for soooooo many reasons, but i am currently stuck due to my HMO (long story). My very first appt with my OB/gyn once pregnant, she congratulated me on Twins. I had found out about 2 weeks before that the twin did not make it and it was clearly in the records, so that certainly didn't start things on the right foot of my "confidence" level of her knowing my history...and it went downhill from there

I can definitely relate.

I think they hardest things is NOT seeing the baby so often as I did with the RE. That sucks for sure

I get it. I went to see my OB this week. WOWza what a difference. I met with the main nurse and she did my vitals, etc. Then she had me sit in a room while she told the OB I was there. Then my husband walked in there and sat down at a fancy desk in a dim lightened room and talked with him like we were in a business meeting. All I could htink of hte whole time is "I wanna know how my baby's doing!!" he didn't ask how long it took me to get there or any specific infertility details. All he said was that he was surprisd of all the testing thta my RE did. He said there was "Even bizarre immune testing that I've never seen before" and htat's that. My husband asked the question of "Is this pregnancy going ot be treated any differently b/c it was doing via IVF" and he said no.

I just felt lik ea normal pregnant lady and even though I suppose I am now, I am just so use to getting the "WOw! This is really amazing that it finally worked and you're pregnant!" I SOO understand what you're saying. I also hated that I had lab work done and the lady and I barely spoke a word to eachother. It was only her and I in the same room. At my RE I knew EVERY girl in there and we chatted. Like friends! Just all around very different! A part of me really likes that I'm "normal" now (ha!) but antother part of me feels sad that I'm missing out on time spent with good friendships that I built!

And about the crying? Forget it. I cry for everything now that I'm pregnant. It's really out of control! lol

Lol yes! I cried the other day when an Alzheimer's commercial came on! It doesn't take much these days :-)

I cried at my last RE appointment. It was just so surreal to leave there after these past three years. My obgyn is a huge practice, always busy, not a lot of "personal" attention like there is at my RE. Seeing the MFM has definitely helped me regain some of that sense of security and personal attention. Obviously I wish I was more "normal" in some ways so I didn't NEED to see an MFM, but I am also really grateful that I get to see the babies so frequently.

With my first pregnancy I felt kind of sad/depressed the day of my last RE appointment, I was so used to going there so frequently.  But then with this one when they released me, I was so anxious to just get on with the rest of first tri that I wasn't as sad.  It's a big change to go from every day/every other day monitoring at an office where everyone knows you, to just another pregnant lady at the OB practice.

 I miss my RE like CRAZY!!  I miss her nice quite office, I miss her staff tons, I miss the high quality equipment she uses, I miss the confidence she gave me in my pregnancy.  I just miss her... just typing all of this out brought tears to my eyes!  I cannot wait to go back for number 2 just to have her as my doc again... I say all the time that I still feel like I am in her care.

I totally get it... 100%  my ob will never be my incredible RE.
