What a fucking waste of time! Let me tell you why!!!
1. They didn't have results for 5 out of 9 tests.... because they're "lost" or "they did them wrong". I have to redo them. (NOT)
2. The endometrial biopsy to test the lining of my uterus???? THEY "dropped the ball" and TESTED FOR CANCER INSTEAD. HELLO? Specialist has to call them to reinterpret the samples relevant to fertility...
3. The doctor I have is a ROBOT. You ask him questions based on your own charts and history, and he tells you the most basic and general texbook answer... that you ALREADY know from researching on google. He's an Assistant Professor at a university, and I think very strongly that he should just stick to lectures. He has no business dealing with patients!




Waste of TIME! oh also I showed him my most recent chart, he kept saying "oh I don't like this one... the temperature should stay raised and should not drop at all in the luteal phase (post ovulation).... so I kept asking him, why? He says "the temperature should remain high"... "ok, but what causes it go high or low?... do I not have enough progesterone? Estrogen, what??" He says "Well... it depends" ..so what makes you say "it doesn't look good"??? "It should stay high"

UGH. So frustrating!

Also, then I noted to him that we're actively trying to conceive this cycle.. so could it be the drop in temp for today (DPO 8) is due to implantation? Because, implanation happens around 7-10 days?

He said "No. Implantation does not cause temperature to drop. Estrogen does. Also, implantation occurs on day 5 after ovulation."

Oh, ok, so everything I've read on the Internet: i.e. Fertility Friend, Pregnancyinfo, is completely false. I see....

Basically, I will NOT be returning to this doctor. What luck huh? I invested 2 months to see him to get some help, and not only was he absolutely no help at all, but I had to battle insurance almost once every week to get NOTHING. What a HUGE waste of time!!!


Basically, I'm not going back to him.
