So frustrated with my DR!

joyful38 · November 2015

I am just so frustrated I could scream! My dr has been nothing but amazing since I met her. I always felt like a priority. She always worked with my schedule, never any issues. I have been nothing but very happy & lucky that I'm able to have her as my Dr through this emotional process.

Moving along... Did all my pre-testing for IVF, even got all the shots in for the last 3 weeks! Just sitting in my fridge! I've been on BCPs..Just waiting on my prolactin levels to go down a little bit, then I would be able to get everything moving.

So What's my issue??? My dr stopped scheduling me. It's been 2 weeks since I got tested for my prolactin levels. I am on day 15 for my period being late . My body is feeling it bad. She usually schedules me every weekend. It's been since Oct 31st. Every time I text her she says "ok I'll check the schedule & let you know" that's been the answer since Monday the 2nd.
Not to mention, this blood test takes 30 seconds of her time!

Not trying to be dramatic, but I'm feeling abandoned through the most important time in my life! This is all me and my DH have been wanting and dreaming about for the last 2 years and now everything has been delayed and I'm clueless on what's happening!! Why am I no longer a priority and why she thinks it's ok to delay this for me?!

Has anything happened like this for anyone else?? It's so upsetting.. I keep staring at my phone waiting on a text or call. Can't even focus at work.

Ugh that is awful!! What the hell? I'm upset for you. That is really not cool that your doctor is handling such a sensitive time in this way. I would just say be a pain in her ass. Don't be afraid to be persistent and annoying. This is her job and you have a lot invested in this. She is making a lot of money off of this whole thing bug the crap out of her. I would say if this keeps up switch MDs. I know that's probably not an option right now at this current moment but definitely something to consider if this kind of treatment continues. Best of luck to you! Keep us posted.

I'm sorry...I agree with mskeenan...speak up and make yourself heard. I'm also in a situation where I'm not sure if I am comfortable with my care team. I had an HSG done and the rad report said septate or bicornuate and my dr acted like it was no big deal and we could ignore it. Why would we not try figure out which it is if one can support a pregnancy and one can't?? I questioned a nurse and she said "well he reviewed it and that's just how you were born, there's nothing we can do about it" and didn't even share my concerns with the dr! I pushed until I got another ultrasound and I'll find out the results this week. If I don't like how my upcoming appointment goes we're considering switching to a different facility. I so hope that your dr turns around and is more responsive to you soon!! It so hard when you feel like you have to push for things to get done. Sometimes I worry that since they work with this stuff day in and day out that they become jaded and we're just another patient. FX for you!!! Please keep us updated!

I agree with the previous posters... don't let her get away with that!!! It really doesn't matter HOW great your doctor/care team are, we still need to advocate for ourselves to get what we need. GL!

Thank you guys so much for your comments! I totally bugged the hell out of her and got an appt this afternoon!! All is well and I told her how frustrated it made me. All we need is better communication. If all goes well, last bcp on thanksgiving and then bring on the shots!

We should always be a priority, especially with what we all go through! Many prayers for all of you !
