Progress....well a little bit anyway

I spent some QT with my phone.  Now I have appointments set up with my RE, and with a new acupuncturist.  I'm supposed to have a sono with the RE to make sure all is good in my uterus (which I highly doubt since I'm prone to scar tissue).  I'm betting that I'm going to need another hysteroscopy to clear everything up.  But we'll see.  I probably should have started going back to acupuncture earlier to help me heal better but I just don't feel like driving back to my old place (in my old town) since there are good IF acupuncturist nearby here.  I'm excited to go to the new place.  Both appointments are a week from Friday.  

I also got to chat with my OB.  I was surprised that she called me just to touch base and see how I was doing since our last meeting.  She said the spotting should ease up in a week or two which I'll be glad for.  This is getting really old.  And she is sending me a referral for a perinatologist and suggested that I get in touch with him/her well before I get pregnant again.  That works for me.  I want to as many smart people working on my case to prevent another loss.  My OB said that she'll work together with my RE and Peri and we'll get there.  I hope she is right.  Either way it is nice to start to put a game plan together.  I feel a little in control again.  

Tomorrow K and I take off for our would-be babymoon.  Le Sigh!  I was annoyed when I saw the note on the hotelsdotcom printout where K had requested a King Bed since  we were expecting a child.  Ughh.  

It will be so nice to go away though.  I got a couple of cute little summery dresses to wear that don't make me look at all like a pregnant lady.  So hopefully we'll have a nice vacation.  

Happy Memorial Day everyone.

This is why HMOs suck

So I go to my primary care doctor to try to get an RE referral.  I thought it would be fairly simple.  No!  Well I shouldn't be too annoyed, my doctor was really nice.  He tried right away to get my test results from my day 21 bloodwork (which was 35), and got the lowdown on my HSG results (they were normal except for the small cavity that was once home to a fairly large fibroid).  But that took about an hour of time while I just waited in the room listening to a Lost podcast.  And then he said he would call me about the fertility specialist tomorrow.  Tomorrow.  Come on.  I just want to know what I'm supposed to do with myself.  I guess carryon as planned.  This week should be my "fertile window".  But I've kind of lost all hope that we will be able to do this on our own.  So I want to see an expert.  Why does this have to be so hard??
