Meg's Fertility appointment
We visited the fertility doctor yesterday and I have to say I wasn't too happy with her. I know having trouble getting pregnant is universal regardless of what age but it felt like she was treating me like I was in my late 30s as opposed to late 20s. She immediately jumped to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. This was just the consultation too I haven't had any tests. My husband has already has a semen analysis and he's perfectly fine so we were already able to rule that out. However, she has no idea what's the issue with me so she was just speculating but jumped right to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. Didn't even mention <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> which turns out because of my age would be required to have two rounds of that before <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> anyway according to the insurance lady. Which makes perfect sense. Barely mentioned going on any medicine to help stimulate stuff too. Normally I'm a very to the point person and like other people who are that way, but for some reason I don't feel like that with his and that's how the doctor was. It was as if I went in there and was like hey I've been trying for 5 years just get me pregnant. That's obviously not the case though. She said my tubes may be blocked and then she'd do <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. So I asked about surgery to open them up and she said the success rate is really low so it's not even worth it. I called my mom up crying afterwards, and my mother is a nurse too. She wasn't too happy with the doctors quick jump to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and said it sounds like they just want the money from <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>. This is a place affiliated with a pretty prestigious hospital in Boston too so I'm really surprised. I'm at least going to get the diagnostic stuff done the blood work and the HSG with this place then I will most likely switch to a different fertility place. My husband is so supportive and said that the choice is totally mine, and that he doesn't want to see me in pain from all the tests and procedures. He said he'd be perfectly happy if it was just he and I for the rest of our lives. Which of course just made me cry more. I just keep trying to tell myself life could be a lot worse so that I'll maintain perspective, but this is pretty depressing.
