Specialists

I love my doctor.  She makes me feel comfortable, and like she cares about us.  She has fabulous bedside manor and has always answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed... but today she gets a big fat "F".  I e-mailed her last week because I am still having horrible menstrual cramps since the surgery. When I say horrible, I mean throwing up, diarrhea (sorry, I know, TMI) hurts so bad I can't walk or think or anything and I'm glued to a heating pad and have to take vicotin kind of horrible... it's awful.  So I emailed her to ask her if that was to be expected, or if she wanted to see me for another ultrasound (because they can see evidence of endometriomas in an ultrasound, and she e-mails me back. "Yes, this is to be expected because you are not suppressing your ovaries, the good news is, it will stop when you get pregnant! Do you know when you're ovulating so you can have timed intercourse?"

SERIOUSLY?
SERIOUSLY?

I cannot tell you how many times we have talked with her about the fact that we have been trying for 2 1/2 years to get pregnant. I was floored. I have been feeling for awhile now like it's time to find a new doctor, who is more of a specialist in endometriosis, and I am starting to think we need to do it now.  I am starting the process to have a records review done by Dr. David Redwine in Bend, OR. He charges $125.00 to review your records, make a recommendation for treatment, and then if you have your surgery done by him, he takes that off the cost of your surgery.

Hopefully, he doesn't send me an email in a year and ask me if I am tracking my ovulation!
