*Warning: Lots of FURIOUS ANGER. And bad language. Gratuitous, even.

I had a very difficult and emotional day yesterday as I went to a fertility doc for the first time. It’s also my first true gyno appointment in over 13 years; I’ve done my well-woman care with a local midwife. He was everything I hate about doctors: aloof, brusque, slightly dismissive. He didn’t listen very well. NO sense of humor. In listing all

*HUGS lots*

eleventy seven hugs...

and ... hear what dr. 1 says, then go see another dr. srsly.

and keep yelling.. get that venom out. On LJ it's safer than the baseball bat to the pillow, oops the dresser, oops the ceiling fan.

1st - hugs!

2nd - Fuck that doctor. He's in the wrong specialty if he can't summon up a better bedside manner to deal with people who are HURTING! Trust me, I've gone through the gamut of awful doctors (including one who wanted to operate on my lady parts after 1 exam and seeing no records). There are good doctors out there. I can't recommend any in TX, but if you want to go to MS, I can recommend a great one in Jackson.

Does Houston do a "100 best Doctors" thing? If so, check it out - you might find a better one on the list.

3rd - Next time you need someone to hear you, you can call me. I promise no platitudes. I'm so sorry. But you're right - this is NOT your fault. Not at all. You have every right to be made at whoever, holy or not, that you damn well please.

Also, I am excellent at gratuitous bad language. If you need someone to yell, "that fucker" right along with you, I'm your girl.

My mom likes to call me when she's upset at her fellow teachers because I'll call them bitches. I'm just that kind of friend.

Ba-haha! You know, there's a lazy stupid and godless site on Ravelry (another site I'm on for knitting), and they are the best for gratuitous bad language (tigerwillow can attest to that.

My greatest vocabulary additions so far have been:

twatweasel (and tweasel)
and my favorite
assbadger

Currently on repeat: for the fuck of shit.

Wow. You know what I want to say but I won't say it on the intertubes. But it relates to conversations earlier this week and how people who are like-minded should go bowling together.

Fuck a fat load of assbadgers.

I gave her my doctor's info. She is awesome and nothing like that asshat!

Screw that man he should not be acting like that. I went to a reproductive endocrinologists that I absolutely loved! She treated my PCOS and I ended pregnant without reproductive help. I did have an extremely low progesterone level which causes miscarriages all the time. She is the reason I carried the twins to term. She caught my progesterone level and fixed it.

She is awesome and so is ALL of her staff. She will take care of you through your first trimester.

WONDERFUL! Vicki is the RE that was recommended to my husband, too. I'm really glad to get a real-life recommendation on her. And we're already getting an appointment for Mark to see her.

Your experience with her will be wonderful. She is everything you would want in a doctor and more. If you look my twins are on her wall somewhere. Good luck and keep me updated :)
