We finally connected!

I finally got to talk to the doctor last night. With no help from him I might add. I called again at noon yesterday and left another message, but I wasn't so nice - not that it seemed to matter. I had said I have been waiting for a call back since last Thursday. This is my first time at this office and I want to make sure I don't miss my cycle. I need to speak to Dr. M by the end of the day or I will page him.

Apparently, the threat of paging the doctor didn't matter. No call. I paged him about 5:30 and seriously not two minutes later I got a call back. About darn time!

I explained to him that I called last Thursday because I had started spotting. I continued to spot over the weekend (enough to wear a regular pad) and then Monday morning had my only red blood (but not much). Yesterday I was back to a little spotting. I told him I was confused by this cycle and didn't want to miss it by waiting too long. He failed to remember (even though my chart was right in front of him) that I had taken provera to induce this period. He thought I was just having another "random" anovulatory cycle. He advised me to come in tomorrow (today) or Thursday for a cyst check ultrasound. I was kind of peeved by this because he didn't mention it before and I haven't been on Clomid since November. But I figured, what the heck, it's my first time here and I remember having to have an ultrasound for the same reason at my old clinic. Besides, this place is cheaper by half!

So he transfers me to the nurse to schedule the appointment. She had Thursday at 5pm available. I said okay, and told her about my appointment on Friday at 10am that was already scheduled and she can cancel it. Well, the doc overheard her confirming with me to cancel Friday's appointment and I heard him in the background saying I could just keep that appointment. Ugh, so now I won't get in today, or tomorrow, but Friday. Geesh!

I know he's the doctor and he knows more than me about this stuff, but I can't help but to still be irked because he never got back to me. Short of barging into the clinic, what else could I have done but called everyday like I did? Now today, I've hardly had anything at all. Maybe that was it for my period. Who frickin knows when day one is/was??? I had some uterine cramps over the weekend and now I'm having ovary cramps. I feel like I'm on Clomid. I had to recline my seat a little in my car on the way home to relieve the pressure on my poor lil' ovaries.

On top of all this, I've had zero energy for about a week. I just can't seem to get anything done. I come home put on my pj's grab some dinner - either leftover take-out or a bowl of cold cereal and plop my butt in the recliner. I called in sick on Monday because of a sinus headache that woke me up in the middle of the night and wouldn't go away. I had one last night and now tonight as well. I just can't win!

Okay, that's it. I'm done complaining (for now ;)). Thanks all for letting me vent. Thanks to Jessica for blogging about her experience. I appreciate it.

I'll fill you in on Friday's appointment!

And to all you Lost fans, Happy Lostday!!!
