Your are right about your mom, she is like mine 'you should wait'...how can we wait? when you know you are not completed, this is how I feel, incompleted! when you know things are not working for you. she says 'there are worse things like loosing all the hopes as those women who have not got nothing inside...she is right at least I got a chance with IVF! Hope everything is going well for you and try to relax, you will see your little one soon and in the right place!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Good morning to everyone! I am trying to catch up on some of the posts this morning before I go to work, since I was unable to yesterday. I hope everyone is doing ok. I did go to urologist yesterday and he pretty much blew me off. I told him the frequency feeling has been extremely bad. I guess there really isn't much he can do now. He also mentioned the letter I wrote about the office manager. He was nice but he definitely stuck up for her. She is no longer there, because she is getting married he said and than went on to tell me she was a good person and overqualified for the job. He said she had been stressed with office staff and wedding. Oh, that is a good reason to be rude everytime I seen or talked to her. I said, I am sure she was good at her job but didn't seem like a people person! Yesterday, was such a stressful day! I told my parents about my pg Friday when they came back from vacation and I have heard three times from my mother, " you should of waited to get pg. " (meaning because of the bladder mess) which she is probably right but I couldn't explain to her that I wanted to try and just couldn't wait after ep. When I told them about being pg, she said, " well you should be more excited. " and I said, " I am very happy but that it is very hard to get excited yet until I know the baby is ok. " I don't know, I guess I am just stressed and worried. I am going to ob late this afternoon, so we will see what happens. I better try to read some posts and get ready for work. Thanks for letting me ramble on. Take care. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 , I'm sorry the urologist wasn't much help. Hopefully your ob/gyn will help when you go for your appt later this week. I'm also sorry your mom is being that way. People really don't understand how hard it is to just " wait " when you're worried it may never happen! My mom says the same thing. " You should just wait until you're done with school. " But it could take me years!!! I don't feel like I can just pick the month or something like other women sometimes do. Ugh. I wish there was a way to make people be more understanding without having to experience it themselves. But until then, you've got all of us that are very happy for you that you're pg right now! Take care, Dominique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 Hi...I'm sorry the nurse was such a witch to you! She had no right to do that, especially since I'm sure you were feeling very anxious and vulnerable. Sorry hun...

I got the qual blood test and that came back very faint also. The nurse said it is so faint, she's just not sure, but it looked positive to be, albeit very faint. I tried to explain that I was only 10dpo again, but she blew me off. She kept asking me, " Are you SURE that you got your period again? " " Who told you you could start ttc again to soon? " I felt like I was being interrogated by the Nazi regime. It was horrible - I almost started crying. She was basically yelling at me for having unprotected intercourse so soon after an ep, even though I told her my Dr. said it was ok. Anyways, she sent my test out for quant hCG, and I also asked for a progesterone test. She said it wasn't necessary. I'm sooo pissed - I have a call in to talk to someone about her. Anyways, what do you think is a reasonable number at only 10dpo. I guess I'd be happy with anything above 15. The fact that even a blood test was very faint on their " sensitive " test scares me a little. I hope this is for real, and if it is for real, hope it's where it should be. Thanks for being so supportive, you guys. This really is a special group - I hope I get to know you all a little better. BTW - Amy and - congrats on such great, high numbers!! This sounds like a normal, healthy pregnancy for you two!!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 , I'm sorry you were treated so badly by that nurse. Sheesh, some people just shouldn't be in a care-giving field. You have every right to try to conceive any time you want (especially if the doctor oks it) and every right to test early after all you have been through. The least they could do is try to understand the deep-seated fear that comes after having an ep that would make you want to get a quantitative hcg any time there's a doubt about being pg. You'd think they would want early detection and pro-active health care. Oh well, when you get back good results it will all be worth it. When will they let you know? I hope your weekend goes well, and try not to worry!! (Impossible, I know, but you can do it!) Dominique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 E, First, I want to smack that nurse right upside the head, " WHACK " >>> ok, i feel better now!! Second, the tests that they use in the office for the urine tests are NOT any more sensitive than what we use.... this is what my dr told me. Back in Jan, I had a faint (+) at 11dpo and the dr's office also had a very faint line...don't listen to this nurse and DEFINITELY tell the dr about her...she had NO right to treat you like that or even speak to you like that. I am praying that your numbers are high....and sending lots of ++++++++++++++ & **************** lisa r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 , I agree with Dominique!! I think it is horrible, no one understands our worries! You would think if they are working in the medical field they could try to understand!!!! It is so upsetting!! I am so sorry you have to go through the stress!! I pray you get an answer soon. Like Dominique said, let us know as soon as you find out!! I will be sending you ++++thoughts. dkcarlton@... wrote: , I'm sorry you were treated so badly by that nurse.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Anne F, Sorry to hear about your grandmother and your other problems.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 , Sounds like a wonderful sign!! And the cramping too is even better to hear. Maybe you can contact Dr March by email?? Not sure if this is possible but in any case, well worth waiting for him to return to the US this month. Poly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi Everyone, I went to the doctor's office today for a saline sonogram. DR March wanted me to have another one done. Just in case someone does not remember I had surgery with DR March in December. We did a saline sonogram in march but it was not a very good picture. I have not had a period. I did have some brownish pink spotting yesterday which was a little encouraging although my cramping has been horrible. I was excited when we finish the sonogram because my dr here in atlanta said that it looked a lot better. You could not see the scarring on the sonogram. He decided that DR March would want an hsg. For anyone who is not familiar with this procedure it is a little different because it gives a clearer picture. They use dye and it is supposed to show how your tubes and all are working. It was very painful. They tried over and over again with different catheters to get in. The radiologist did this procedure and he thinks there is something blocking which he assumed was scar tissue right above the cervix opening. I am a little confused because of how painful it was. I was shaking so bad. They finally gave me some medicine. I know that my doctor has always had a difficult time with these procedures but he did get in with a very small catheter but the strange thing is that the saline never stays in. Has anyone had this to happen or can explain why they have such a hard time. I was just praying that today would be a better outcome. I guess things still looked better to my doctor but of course I am not exactly sure what that means. I have sent the films to DR March so I guess I will just have to wait and see what he has to say. Thanks for listening to me and if any one has any ideas of what is going please let me know. I have had a lot of these tests and everytime I have had trouble. thanks again. You are all in my prayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
