Change doctors?
Last month I had a chemical pregnancy around 5 weeks. This cycle I conceived again but had the same sense it was going the same route- lots of faint lines that never got brighter, actually got lighter. I called the doctor Monday and told them and asked for hcg and progesterone testing. The nurse was so rude and said, “You haven’t even had a period and you’re pregnant? Well you should wait until at least the end of the week to go for testing.” I went the following day figuring if it’s low I could go for retesting by the end of the week.
Two days later (Thursday) I didn’t hear from the doctor. I called at 9 am and the nurse said it didn’t look good. Hcg at 8 and progesterone 3.1. She said the doctor hadn’t reviewed it yet to decide what to do.
Fast forward to this morning. I’ve started bleeding, I accept it’s over and it was going to happen. But I’m devastated even more by the fact that the doctor still hasn’t even contacted me. I understand I’m not a 9 month pregnant woman on the verge of delivering but aren’t I still important? The life of the child I wanted so much?
I’m considering changing practices. I had great experiences with this practice while I was pregnant with my son and everything went smoothly. Any time I’ve needed to schedule an appt or get ahold of them while not pregnant, it’s been a nightmare. I’m just not a priority. Ughhh any suggestions? My heart hurts so much today 💔
