TTC after 35
Just another thing to bring me down
Good morning, ladies.
I wish I could actually have a positive to post but after talking the my nurse yesterday, I am just aggravated. She got some of my paperwork from my OB. He did the Rubella and CF testing back in July to let me know if it was okay to continue trying and also to make sure I was ovulating. Well, my nurse read the reports and apparently I am not immune to Rubella and I will need to either sign a waiver or go get immunized, which means holding off trying for another month. I couldn't believe it. When he called me, he told me all tests were find and to continue trying. I am now so glad he will no longer be my OB. My RE referred me to a more local OB. On top of all of that I had papers from two other patients of his with my same maiden name in my file. I had a common last name and he had three of us. Apparently, whoever does the filing there doesn't know what they are doing. Medical records are extremely important and extra care should be taken. At least now I don't have that worry since I have a new last name.
Ladies, I can't tell you how much it means to have your support through all of this. DH tries to understand and be helpful but knowing I am not the only one out there with these issues helps. And have your support means so much.
Love and hugs to all of you.
Julie

hugs back atcha. I had to get the vaccine and had the same mini-setback. Try not to dwell on "another month lost" if you can. it sucks. I can't believe the miscommunication and misfiling of records you've had with that doctor! That is just inexcusable.

I know. I've been going to him for over 10 years and it makes me wonder now what else am I not aware of. I'm waiting on my new prescription for a mammogram. I really dread that. It hurt so bad. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?
It just makes me mad that I could have had the shot in July and be past it.
OMG dont get me started on mammogrms. I have breast cysts and everytime I get that I think they are in there about to pop or something. Freaks me out and it hurts. FWIW I guess it is practice for other stuff in our (hopefully) future. (as in labor)

I can't believe the HIPAA (sp?) violations and other crap you've had with that doctor! That is completely absurd! Glad you are going somewhere else.
My mammogram hurt like a b!tch too! But on the flip side, my HSG hurt worse...if you can imagine! With my prior ectopic pg, they had to perform emergency surgery and remove most of my tube...so when the HSG rolled around, the dr. who did it kept on trying to 'force' the dye into that one tube to see if there was any 'spillover'...and on her 3rd try...the hubs grabbed her arm and said No More, You're Done!! Because I was screaming in pain and told her that she almost was on the receiving end of a mule kick!!
Not trying to scare you...just wanted to input my 2 cents. GL!!
She forwarned me. She told my husband "you need to be there." Of course, my DH said there was never a question of him no being there. He'll be there for everything. We are hoping that all of these pre-tests are good. Our nurse told me to take two Aleve beforehand and both of us have to start a 7-day treatment of antibiotic starting the night before.
I am actually concerned about the Rubella vaccination. I'm not one for shots at my age. I won't get a flu shot again because after the last one I was sick for 3 months. I just couldn't get rid of it. I was miserable.
As for my doctor, I am going to write a letter advising him of my unhappiness with him and his staff and that it is inexecusable to have someone elses papers in my file and my paper could also be in other files. My maiden name was Smith, so as you can imagine..............but regardless, this just means they should be extra careful.
