Yesterday's Today

So onto IUI #2. I went to my RE yesterday for my day 3 blood work and ultrasound. With all the great things that I have said about my RE, today is not going to be the same. He must have been having a bad day or something because he was very cold, quick and acted as if I was just a number. Something that I have never experienced with him.

During my u/s he was very aggressive, and it almost made me cry. He told me that everything looks good, they were just going to check my blood work before I start Clomid again. (I got a call later that day with the OK) Before he left the room I wanted to ask him 2 quick questions. All of which would have taken 3 minutes at most. I didn't even get half of the first question out when he cut me off to say "I don't care about your charts"

I was a little taken back by this rude comment, since I was only trying to ask if he thought that I had a short Luteal Phase. So I spoke up again saying the words short Luteal Phase...before he interrupted me yet again saying "that fact has never been proven" Then before I could say anything else he says "you have better things to do with your time"

I WAS SHOCKED. I am sorry but it is a little hard not to analyze my body and my charts. I am constantly going into the office, filling prescriptions, taking a pill, OPKing or take a HPT. So you tell me, how can I not think about it??? How am I suppose to be doing other things with my time??? Plus....I am the type of person that likes to know. Even when I go to the dentist, I have him tell me everything he is doing - and describing in detail. It just makes me feel more comfortable about the situations. I don't like to be kept in the dark.

So I didn't even get to ask the 2nd question...surprise, surprise. But it was about fertility blend for Jay and we just bought it anyways. I figure that he was having a bad day, they were packed with women that morning. But it still doesn't give him the right to be rude. But I am over it and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus they accept 100% of my insurance and they are right next to my work which makes it convenient.

I also think doctors want you to feel like they have everything under control. If he thought that my Luteal Phase was too short he would have been doing something about it. So maybe, in a way, I hurt his feelings by questioning his expertise...Just trying to think of the other side of things.
