Frustrated....Update from DR.
| Thu, 07-31-2003 - 1:21pm |
The DR. called me yesterday and gave me my test results. He said that my level was 2-less than 2. So he wants me to take some pills to jumpstart AF. I am not going to take them, because of how I was when I was prego with my DS. So, I am going to a new OB/GYN on the 12th to get some tests done. I am going to demand a vaginal u/s. I do not want to wait till I am in my 2nd trimester again before I find out. If by chance I am not PG then I want to know why I am sick & tired 24/7 and all the other symptoms that point to being PG. I am so frustrated right now I want to scream and cry.
When I was asking the DR. questions he just kept dismissing everything I said by saying "the test say your not pregnant so take the pills I gave you. Its not possible for you to have been in your 2nd trimester before your hcg levels showed up on test." It was like what I had to say wasn't important because it wasn't in his medical books. I hate to tell him this but I know my body and what happened to me has happened to other women too.
I just don't know what to do. I am at my wits end. I just want someone to confirm what I already know. What do you think?

Any doctor that will not listen to their patient, or at least try to see what is going on, and just dismiss all questions/concerns, is not fit to practice medicine as far as I am concerned!
Find another doctor and explain your past and current situation, and what you want to have done.
Good luck... I hope you find a doctor to help you..
