So I got a call yesterday from the nurse at my regualr DR saying I am anemic and need to talk to the dr.
I go today and she said my Iron levels are HIGH and all my tests came back NORMAL.
*** why did the nurse tell me I need to come in?
I was so right it was just for a Fing C-pay.
Then I asked about sleeping pills because I have been having a hard time getting to sleep and staying alseep and all she gave me was 10 pills and said maybe I should see a some one. She had me crying because she wanted me to tell her in detail why I was not sleeping. I said because I can not turn my brain of at night and after seeing my baby thursday I am unable to get it out of my mind. So then I felt bad for crying and kept saying sorry for crying... UGH
I am very pissed to say the least!!!!!!!


THEN I pick my daughter up from the neighbor and I missed out tuesday morning coffee today. All these woman are my moms age or older. So one of the ladies brought a ultrasound and anouced her 5th grandchild is coming. So I told the lady that watches my daughter that I am sorry but I do not think I can come to coffee anymore. Last time her daughter in law was expecting (this time its her daughter) that is all she talked about was dr appts, what the baby is, bla bla bla I just dont think I can handle it right now.


So this got me thinking HELL with waiting. I am going to wait for next A/F so he can run the clotting tests that you can not have HCG in your system and then I am going for it. If I can not go to floida because I am pregnant than so be it!!! Might not even wait that long!!!!


If you stuck with me this long thanks I needed a rant I am having crappy day.
I just hope my appt Thursday goes good and I do not need a D&C


Only good news is that I have lost 10 pounds since January!

I am sorry your doctors office made you come in for nothing.

I can understand why you are having a bad day. I have been hiding in the house since yesterday because I don't want to see anyone pregnant or hear any about anything getting pregnant.

When you start trying again I hope you get your BFP fast and it's your rainbow baby.

I am sorry that you are going through all of this. I would call the office and ask to talk to the office manager. Tell them that you do not feel like you should have to pay a copay for your last visit as you did not see that it was a needed visit. The worst they can do is say no, in which case I would take my business elsewhere. I would probably take my business elsewhere regardless. They seem to have been a huge p.i.t.a. through the whole thing.

Oh and just to rub salt in my wounds. Thursday I had this lady give me a sob story about wanting to book her wedding photographer and is only in town that day. So I got a sitter sat there for 2 hours talking to them while having bad contractions (I passed the baby 2 hours after they left).
And at the end of the appt she said well we have a couple other people to meet then we will decied OMG WHAT???? Before the meeting she was asking how much to bring for her deposit or I would have canceled the meeting.

So I just now get this Email from her....
Hello,
I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated you meeting with me on Thursday. My mom and I had alot of fun! After much consideration and weighing all of our options Chris and I have decided to go with another photographer. Thanks again for your time, and wish you all the best in your future.

Thanks,
Kelli


OMG I am fumming. I have had people in the past tell me I should start charging a consult fee because sometimes you have other photographers spy on you.
So now I am putting that into effect... $20.00 fee to meet with me but you owe nothing if you book. These people are wasting my time and money because I also had to get a freakin sitter for 2 hours.

4 hours left until bed time WHAT NEXT???? come on let me have it????

I hate that you had a wasted visit! And totally understand about not wanting to listen to other people talk about pregnancy appointments!
I am hoping for the best on Thursday so you can jump right back into TTC, and not wait long for your rainbow baby!

The thing is that is how ALL dr offices are around here. And most offices are not taking new people. I told my husband I was going to call and demand a refund and he said no because they will probably get my chart out and mark that and we will not get in quick or get treated good. He has been with them since he was a little kid.. UGH But they ALL do that around here. I just will not do any follow ups anymore and tell the nurse well if its that bad I will wait till I get sick and go to the ER.

This is my family DR that did this not my OB they have done it as well.

With everything that has been going on with you and me I kept on forgetting to ask you if you booked that wedding that you were meeting with. I agree with you. I would start charging a fee to meet with you. If they book then you wave the fee.

Lindsey I am so sorry. That sucks both the dr office and the lady who wasted your time. I think charging a fee is a good thing. Especially if you have to cover babysitting. People are so rude sometimes.
I hope your day gets better and tomorrow is just fabulous.

I agree with you charging a fee then if they book they won't owe anything.

I am sorry your Dr's office is jerking you around like that I hope you get to talk to them in the morning and get things straightened out!!!!

Ugh. I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time lately, with EVERYTHING, and with a day like this on top of it... I like your attitude about not waiting to TTC any longer than it takes to just get the blood tests done I'm hopeful they can give you all the information and assistance you need to be able to carry to term. You don't have a problem getting pregnant if I remember right, so I'm sure we'll be seeing a BFP from you very, very soon.

To me it feels like you are getting crapped on something awful, so I can only imagine how you feel about all this. I am so sorry that things have been so miserable. You don't deserve this at all. I hope things start to look up for you.

I said something to DH about not waiting and he said "something we need to talk about" then dropped it... UGH At least he is a man and going a whole month now and more with out any I will get my way...HA HA HA
Now Thursday better be good news from my OB or I will totally lose it.

SO I called the DR office this morning and getting my CO pay back.
I feel bad because the nurse who gave me the wrong results on the phone is getting in trouble. The office manager thanked me for calling because in my situtation this was the last thing I needed and said what if it was even worse news or they were told to go to the hospital. She said it needs to be delt with and they will be crediting my credit card back with my CO pay.
So even though I feel bad, I am getting my co pay back and feel validated for being so mad.
