I just have to vent ๐ insurance and referrals
Sorry for the long rambling post, I just needed to complain somewhere ๐
So my husband is active duty navy. To see my OB for my new pregnancy, I have to go to the clinic on base and take a proof of pregnancy test. Itโs literally just a pee test, no bloodwork. I took an at home pregnancy test on Monday, and it was positive. So I went to the base clinic Tuesday morning to take a test. The nurse called me and said it was negative, but once they let it dry, they thought it could be positive.
The nurse told me to come back next week. A different nurse called me later that same day and said I could come at the end of the week. So I went today, two days later, after taking more home tests and each being much darker than my first ones. The nurse called me today and said todayโs test was negative. She sounded annoyed that I came in when she wanted me in next week, but I told her thatโs what I was told to do by a different nurse. I donโt understand how their tests are negative today?! I had to run out to the store and get a digital to ease my nerves. I was freaking out!
I had a second miscarriage in February, and my ob said I had low progesterone, so I could take progesterone if needed for my next pregnancy to help. Problem is, I canโt see my OB until I get a referral, and the only way they issue one is through a positive test at the clinic ๐
Iโm not worried that Iโm not pregnant. The tests tell me that. I just wish I could have gotten into my OB this week to get bloodwork done so I know if progesterone is low or if itโs okay. I feel like this is just wasted time if progesterone is still in fact needed :/
And how the heck am I getting clear positives when their tests are negative still?! Lol! They must not be sensitive at ALL ๐ the test being negative on Tuesday was understandable, but today?!
I go back Tuesday so I swear it better be positive or Iโm paying for my OB out of pocket ๐
Attached are my tests, the clearblue and the cheapie test on the bottom were both taken today.
No advice is needed, just needed somewhere to complain ๐
