TTC after 35

What do I do?

So my RE's office doesnt have any openings for a saline sonograhm which they require for any kind of treatment/diagnosis, so I called my OBGYN, she can get me in to do it this fri, then I get this call from teh RE's office saying my prolactin levels were high and the dr wants you to take meds, and I tell them that I got the saline sono with my OBGYN, and they are like well the RE might make you do it over, depends on how its done, isnt this stuff standard? I definately dont want to do it  twice? Their answer is like there are openings in this other office which is like prob about 1 and a half hrs away but I dont have time to go there, I cant even got a day off work this month!

I am so irritated and frustrated that I dont even know what to do? I feel like i have had it with this RE's office that keeps wanting me to go to the other office, hello I made an appt at this office for a reason!!!!

Re: What do I do?

  • Honestly if it were me I would probably wait to have the RE's office do the sonogram.  The RE is probably more expert in diagnosing the things you want them to be looking for (polyps, fibroids, septum, etc.).  The wait can suck, I know.

    I agree. I'm in a similar situation with my RE insisting I have my next CD 3 b/w and u/s at his office, even though I had planned to be out of town that weekend. At the end of the day, I appreciate my RE wanting to manage my care so thoroughly. 

    But I totally sympathize with you on the wait and I wish they would find a way to squeeze you in this month!
