Awesome. (long)
So I went to my OB's office today to sign a release form to have them send my medical records to the RE's office.
I walk up to the desk and tell the lady why I was there and she just looks at me. Blank stare. Crickets.
So I tell her again, in different words. This time she says "Why do you need that? Are you moving?". I say, "Nope. Just having some trouble getting pregnant."
She says: "Oh. So you need to have your records sent to an IF clinic."
Me: "Yes."
Her: "Why didn't you just say that to start with? It would have saved us some time."
Really?!? Seriously?!? The whole time, I'm feeling super awkward anyway (with about 6 pregnant women around me and pictures of dads and their babies plastered all over the walls) and I'm thinking "Could you please, just this once, give me a break? How hard is it to be nice???".
On top of all that mess, I have cramps and I'm PMSing.
I just feel super sad tonight 
Kudos to you if you read this far!
Thanks for letting me vent (not that you had mmuch of a choice in the matter 
)

Re: Awesome. (long)
I hate that shilt!!!!!!! WTF? Is that really necessary?
You know, I left my OB's office for something similar. They had told me to call at 1 year with no success (long time ago!). So I called and told the appointment lady my situation. So she goes, "Um yeah we can't get you in for two more months for that." So I told her that was fine. Then she goes, "Well, I can get you in two weeks sooner but it's with a guy." I told her I may as well just wait for my regular doctor with the two week variance. She goes, " You know, you can't always see a female doctor when you want. If you ever get pregnant, your doctor doesn't deliver, so you have to see a guy." And, she was a huge snotty blitch while telling me this. That was enough to throw an already emotional person over the edge! I told her I'd get my female doctor, at a new office. I never went back.
In short (now that I just took over your post), OB's kinda suck at the sensitivity! I'm sorry about that crappy appt!
I'm sorry! Sometimes people can be so insensitive. I also left my OB due to some sensitivity issues. We got into one time because of a hypothetical situation, with my phantom child. He suggested if there was something wrong with it, I should abort. Oh really??? Thanks doc, considering I can't even get one here...WHY would you think I would want to ABORT this phantom baby??? He was just trying to walk me through different scenarios for when I get pregnant..however, that is not a decision he should have been bringing up/suggesting for someone having trouble!
I hope you feel better soon!
That's crazy. I just think so many things can be said much more effectively, with just a bit more sensitivity in certain situations...ya know?
Ususally I would have given it right back to her (I get a little fiesty) but today I was just sad and totally didn't have the energy.
Well, to look at the bright side of things, I know that when I am on the other side of this crazy journey, I will definitely never forget all of these feelings and I will be able to approach situations with a bit more understanding!
On another, happier note, a huge congrats on your beta!!! I can't wait to see those numbers double

Thanks
It honestly makes me feel better just knowing I'm not alone.
You are totally right...that is definitely not a suggestion he should have been making to you, no matter what the situation! Issues like that are so highly personal and sensitive and it frustrates me when they are not treated as such. It's probably a good thing you found out his "true colors" (for lack of a better term) when you did!

Thanks- I'm still hanging here until I get some more good news.
I agree with what you said. . . on the other side, I will def look at things differently. You just never know.
Grrr! I hate that she made the situation more awkward for you.
The receptionist/clerks at my GP's office are terrible! They give you attitude for everything. When you walk into the office they make you stand at the front desk for at least 5 minutes without acknowledging you or making eye contact! I feel your pain.
Hopefully the staff at your R.E.'s office will be better.
