Don't you hate when the Dr's office makes you feel dumb

Last month on clomid, I had terrible lower stomach pains.  I figured it was due to clomid, but the Dr still had me come in to do an u/s.  She told me before I took this round of clomid, if I had the same pain, to call and let them know.

I've been having the pain again (it hurts to bend over), so I called and they just called me back and the nurse was like, um yes, I am calling in regards to your message and says, you are fine and don't need to come in.  Just take tylenol and take it easy.  I said, I know I'm fine, the Dr told me to call if I had the pains again this time around.  And I'm thinking when you're on clomid aren't you supposed to be monitored by the Dr with an u/s?  She then says don't forget timed intercourse...REALLY??  you're kidding.  I'm like ok, thank you for the call back.  I think if your going to be a nurse at a OB's office you need to be a little more understanding.

    We must go to the same dr!  LOL....  I would be more proactive, call again and get some answers, dont let the nurse blow you off like that.  What happened with me is the number one reason you should ask more questions!  Be your own advocate as many of the girls on the board have told me...

    And yes I hate it when they make you feel like you are DUMB!

    Hahahaha, you should have answered with a "you mean I have to have sex to get pregnant...really?!?"

    I agree though.  The nurses in my office have to ask the doctor for everything.  If its not height or weight, its beyond their capability.

    Hey Beth,

    I'm sorry she was such a dope toyou.  I would call back and tell them you wantt o speak to the Dr.   That's what I would do when the nurses weren't really answering my questions. 

    Let me know what happens.

    That super-sucks.  The only monitoring I am getting is to go in around CD 21 and have him take my blood and test for progesterone to see if I have ovulated yet.  My guess is going to be.... no.

    My regular ob doesn't monitor.  My RE does and when I had pain like what you are describing it was because I had large follicles that hadn't released.  I would take it as a good sign that you have good follicles.  You might ask the next time if they are willing to do ultrasound monitoring.  They might be willing if you ask for it. My RE has me do an injection of Ovidrel to make sure that I ovulate so that I don't have follicles large enough to cause pain.  I always noticed it when I would bend over or take a deep breath.  I hope you stay on them and get what you need done.  Good Luck.
