Dr. Update ~nothing exciting~ :-(

OK, so I went to the Dr...

first thing they did was a urine test - BFN. :(

I knew it was going to be negative, but it still hurt.

The Dr. did my yearly fun pap smear and said all that looks good.

She is sending me and my husband tomorrow to have some blood work done.

My husband to have a chromosomal analysis, and me the same.

They are also going to do the following on me:

Prolactin

Anti-phospholipid antibody

and a Anticordiolipin Ab

Anyone know WHAT these are?

She basically said that it is not abnormal to skip a period once or even twice a year. She also said that since I did mc once in the past year that at least I "can" get pg.....

She gave me the big speech on women testing so early on pg tests, and how mc is more common these days because of the early testing....(in other words, women mc more often than most realize because they happen so early that they never really notice.)

Anyway.....She made me an appt. for this time next month to go over my tests and said that if I get a BFP anytime in the meantime, to call and they will see me that day, etc.

What she doesnt realize is that as soon as those tests come in, I am going to make them make me an appt. that day! LOL

I am not waiting any longer than I have to.

Of course she can't start me on any meds until she knows what may and may not be the problem.

She seems to think there isn't one at this point.~whatever~

I am seriously thinking that I am going to get my test results and take them to a new Dr.

I am not really happy with this one. It was hard to keep her in the room as long as I did.

So, thanks everyone for listening to me all month. I know I have been somewhat of a pain in the ass.

If anyone has any experience with these tests they are doing on me, will you please let me know about them?

Thanks again!!

((((HUGS)))))

(((((hugs))))))) Stephanie, I'm sorry that your appt wasn't all that great. I've been there and done the rounds with my old ob/gyn... hence the word "old". I just can't take these dr's that think it's "normal" for you to skip a period and because you can't throw a urine test means that you can't be pregnant- b/s.....that's exactly what happened to me and then my dr did all the progesterone, which my new midwife firmly believes caused me to m/c- if only they would do the damn b/t and quit messing around with us- urgh! Sorry- off on my own little vent there. I totally agree- get your results and see if you can find a new dr!! Hang in there Sweetie and I'm still hopeful you'll get that bfp!!! +++++++++ PV's coming your way! LOLove, Connie
