Monday is quickly approaching...
So Monday is my first visit with the RE. I'm really nervous, but happy to finally be going where I knew I'd need to be in the first place. I mean after all this time I finally feel like I am going to have a chance to become a mommy.
Today was my check in with my new OB before I head off to Albany Monday morning. We talked and he got some paperwork for me to take there. Most importantly I got my doctors notes. I'd seen three doctors in their office and believe Dr. Nathan is the *only* one who actually listened to me. The doctor who I had been seeing diagnosed me with OHSS and PCOS without ever doing b/w or looking at the U/S another doctor in his department ordered for me. He had even noted that if I wasn't pregnant from the clomid by the 6th month he was sending me for ovarian drilling or ovarian reduction to solve the PCOS... um could we have done some blood work before we go to that extreme? I had the blood work done and guess what? I don't have PCOS. In fact all of my hormones look pretty darn good. Scary! Then the doctor who ordered the U/S for my severe swelling and edema on clomid noted I had a miscarriage May of last year? WTF? This is news to me... I went off of birth control May of last year when I finally was given the green light to start TTC again. I had the miscarriage at the end of June 04.... I really hope my RE doesn't read that. He'll think I'm a freak.
It was still amazing to read what doctors write about patients when they don't know the patient will ever read what they wrote. I did giggle when I read what Dr. Nathan wrote about me being very intelligent, a premed student, and asking very difficult questions and for future doctors to be prepared :D I think he knew I would be reading his notes...
So tomorrow we drive to Buffalo to pick up our new kitty. She was a feral cat that a lady took in and has been caring for while trying to find someone to adopt her. I know I know... it's 4.5 hours one way to Buffalo, but DH saw her and fell in love. Since his cat died this summer I've let him decide the who what where and when of getting a new cat.
AF is due Sunday. I'm not happy she's here... I was hoping we could do it on our own, but I am ready for her. I have a plan or at least will have a plan as of Monday. Bring it on!
