So confused

Country Girl in the City

I feel like I am writing one of these every cycle.  I was getting highs on the CBEFM for the past 12 days.  FF gave me cross hairs on CD17 and I had EWCM for the first time this cycle.  It was so exciting.  Then today I got a peak on the monitor.  I had taken a HPT at the same time and it was - (I only tok the test because I have a dr appointment today.)  I then followed up with a digital OPK which was negative.  CM and position do not feel fertile like they did earlier in the cycle.  My temps have been all over the place because I have been sick but it was higher today than it has been for a few days.

Anyone have any advice on what the heck could be going on?  My appointment today is with my PCP so I am not confident that she can give me any insight into the situation.

Looks like you've geared up a couple of times based on your CF data and that so far, it's anov.  If you've been ill, that can certainly affect your cycle by delaying ovulation.

Well, I just back from the dr appt and then home to cry a bit.  I have got to find a new doctor.  She told me to relax and it will happen after all I still have a few good years because you can get pregnant until you are 42.  It is a good idea to make an appointment with the fertility doctor but not an RE because most of the time you get pregnant in the time in between when you schedule the appointment and actually go for the first visit.  She told me that I did not need any workup for her referall to the fertility doctor even though that is not what my insurance company said.  She did write a letter to the insurance company and gave it to me so that I could mail it to them.

Finally, she told me to stop taking all of my asthma medication.  I should only take it if I am feeling really bad and I should not take it all of the time.

So, my doctor just gave me medical advice that could kill me and no luck on actuallly getting what I need to have done to go to the RE.

WTH? That's horrible advice. I think I would be finding a new PCP. I would also go  see an RE anyway. Maybe if you call the office and ask they can get you a referral to send to the RE for your insurance. I hate when people's personal feelings impede their professional judgement.

I did make then appointment to see an RE.  The date is July 29.  I have the referral but I don't know if that is all that I need for my insurance to cover the RE because they said that they also need authorization.  I am going to work with my insurance company to try to figure out what I need.  If not the initial consult is only $300 so I will pay OOP.  I am also switching insurance during open season.  DH is having no problems at all.  We both had doctors appointments today.  I went home and cried.  He came home and bragged about how his new center is state of the art and futuristic.
