waiting to hear from doctor = torture!
So after a lot of advice and encouragement from you all, as well as my husband and mother (who had 4 losses), I finally decided that I really couldn't wait until Friday to see a doctor (and see if my body would take care of this naturally).
I called the practice first thing this morning, and the receptionist literally made it all about her. She was like "I did what I was supposed to do on Friday and set up an appointment, the nurse came and found me and asked why I hadn't scheduled you." So I calmly explained that "this is not about you, this is actually about me - I am not trying to get you in trouble, I have simply changed my mind and want to talk to a physician sooner, as I am pretty sure I'd like to schedule a D&C."
So then we go in circles to figure out who the on call doctor is, and then she looks at my doctor's nurse's schedule and she's like "she's full" - well, duh! All of their schedules are always full - this isn't expected! If I could have planned this, I would have scheduled a D&C 3 months in advance around all of my other obligations, lady! Not to mention, I don't need the NURSE, I need the doctor on call.
She assured me that she would send a message to my doctor's nurse (who saw me Friday), as well as the on call doctor's nurse. I am probably being pessimistic but I am so worried she won't. Why do they have to make a difficult situation more challenging? This was all about 45 minutes ago. I am giving them one more hour and then calling again. So frustrating.

I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope it will be better and you will get to schedule the D&C sooner. T&P on your way.
Ugh... that sounds horrible. I'm so sorry
. I know you posted before, so sorry if this is repetitive, but is a visit to the ER not an option? I'm not really sure if they even do them there, as I went in as I was losing mine naturally. But maybe it's worth a shot? Either way, you don't deserve to deal with this. No one does. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss and your ongoing ordeal. We're all here for you if you need to scream or cry via online forum.
Hugs
