One more complaint about the fertility specialist!!!

He is OFFICIALLY THE BIGGEST MORON EVER IN A SUCCESSFUL PROFESSION. He FINALLY called me back after more than two weeks on the results of the endometrial biopsy that he ordered WRONG and had to reorder the test.. luckily they still had the sample. (They tested it for cancer instead of the growth of my uterus lining)... so he leaves a message on my phone the min I stepped away from my desk, of course.

He said "well, it looks like the test result showed your uterus to be at around cycle day 21-22, which we know it does not look good because you did the test on cycle day 25.. oh I mean 24. So you see, there is a 2 day delay in the development of your uterus lining. Typically to do a diagnosis, we will have to repeat one more endometrial biopsy. So call us again when you get another OPK + and we'll have that scheduled."

So as I'm jotting down all this information on to a pad, my heart is sinking because he's telling me I may have a Luteal Phase Defect. I'm currently pregnant. This baby stands no chance.

Then, being the borderline obsessive compulsive analyzer that I am, I put down the dates he mentioned onto my calendar and wait a second !!! I did the test about a week before my period came!! My cycle was 25 days last month.... so how is it that I did the test on cycle day 24!?!? As soon as I got home, I looked on my planner (which I left at home)... uh HUH, I did the freaken test on cycle day 21!!!!!!!!!!

Freaken dumbass!! I want to clobber him on the head with a broomstick! He didn't even bother getting his facts/information straight before he gave his patient the worst news ever? Oh and not to mention making the patient go through another extremely painful biopsy. OMG!!! I'm going to have to call the office tomorrow and talk to a nurse to get this straightened out. Is he ridiculous or what??

Endometrial Biopsy procedure

It was rather quick and simple, yet, painful and very uncomfortable. They stick a catheter up your cervix, in which it responds by trying to contract it out..... so that 10-15 seconds (which seemed like 5 mins)...that it's in your cervix, the entire time you're cramping intensely. I must say it reminded me of the first miscarriage when I had to take the tablet to rid of the discontinued pregnancy. The contraction was so intense! Then the doctor had to push it in and out of your uterus lining in order to suction out a couple of samples. It was pretty horrible. I wouldn't want to go through that again, but it's the same procedure for the HSG!! *dies*

I'm thinking of just skipping the HSG x-ray completely since husband and I are pretty sure there's nothing wrong with my uterus (typically, when the structure of your uterus is the cause of the miscarriage, it happens during second trimester), and obviously nothing wrong with our tubes since we're getting pregnant just fine. I really dont want anything stuck up my cervix anymore. Plus we'll get to try in Jan instead of Feb.

Will contemplate in shower...

Oh and they test you for pregnancy before the procedure since there's a 10% chance it could intervere with your current pregnancy. It was a welcomed yet sad negative.

Fertilityfriend.com BBT charting

Here's my graph so far. I think it's pretty accurate to say I ovulated on the 12th, 13th, or 14th right? According to fertilityfriend, ovulation is confirmed after 3 consecutive temperature raises. My temp never decreased since the 12th, so I'm going to go with the first day of the positive. I need to pinpoint this to make sure getting the blood tests done tomorrow will be on schedule with my cycle phases. A day difference probably won't be that significant right? Right.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to fast... guess I'll fast and go to the lab super early so I won't starve.

By the way, I love this site www.fertilityfriend.com and am considering paying for the VIP membership for a month or so. I love all the tools and calculators!

Monday recovery

Took another ovulation test today just to make sure it wasn't a glitch the last time, and sure enough, there is only a very faint line.

My stomach is still churning from the stomach flu over the weekend, so today is resting day for me. Still having a bit of diarrhea. Yikes.

On another note, I finally got my infertility testing straightened out and scheduled. I have all the blood work on Friday, then on Monday I'm getting the biopsy done. When AF returns, I'll have to schedule for the HSG which will be done around cycle day 7-10. Hope this wraps up mid January and we get our results. We'll get to start trying around Feb, but I'm not sure I want to have a baby due on Christmas (as if we have the luxury to be chosey).

Happy Friday

I woke up with the most intense need to hurl this morning. No, not pregnancy related. I think I've eatten something bad... or the daily advils I'm taking is burning a hole in my stomach. It's 3:52pm and I'm still feeling nauseated especially when I'm standing up. I've had 3 pieces of toasts the whole day.

On a different note, I've got a positive on my fertility test today, which means I'm ovulating as we speak. I've called the specialists office to check on my insurance authorization (obviously needed before they can schedule any tests for me, other wise it's out of my pocket), well everyone's out of the office. Happy Friday. I didn't hang up.. I made sure the receptionist leave the financial counseler a note saying "Call back ASAP. Patient ovulating. Need authorization to set appointments by Tuesday. Can not miss testing this cycle." I'm so demanding that the receptionist probably knows who I am by now. I mean, he didn't even need me to spell my exotic name.
