Insurance and other aggravations:(

NP called back today she said just to wait a month and retest e2 and keep bleeding if it gets bad either birth control or provera. My response was no to both as it seems ridiculous if my estrogen is already super high, so I told her to go talk to OB and ask if I can go see RE because this is getting ridiculous and I can't take iron for my anemia because it was leaving deposits in my stomach so bleeding alot=anemia = IV therapy 
If she says no should I make an appt with her or go over her head? I am sick of this and no one can tell me this is normal:(

Insurance.
I am fully insured except for infertility so far insurance company has been great and given me almost everything I need however I have been paying to see an immunologist for a year and its super expensive and I really wish he was covered because now my pcp thinks I need to see him ever 2 months. Here is the problem I could switch to a plan he is on except that I just started PT which was approved for 8 visits and basically we had to beg and plead for it. And I just got my $2300 a month medication approved for life, If I were to switch when would be a good time after PT? 

Also if you have ever switched how long did it take you to get everything approved?

THanks so much:)

    Ugh to bleeding. I just don't get why no one will help you. I personally don't feel that an RE needs to address this. I know you said on another post that u/s was normal but did you see the actual report? What is normal? Was there a follie on your ovary to explaine high e2? What was your lining measurement? Normal to a gyn means nothing as the ranges are wide depending on where in your cycle you are. I'd ask for the report to see it yourself. Could something have been left behind for your csection? Will someone do a saline sono? That's not IF as far as insurance since its for excessive bleeding and should be covered. As for switching insurance, tough one with your meds being covered for lifetime. I think I'd be scared to switch.
