Hi Ladies,

As many of you may remember what a difficult time I had with my dr.s last fall.....I have been trying to get my last u/s pic ( of what I was told was my "bean") and my med. records.....My dr. charges $35-45 for the records. I had only been there a handful of times, so my chart had almost nothing in it...but anyway, I talked to the receptionist & I told her I really only wanted my bloodwork reports & the u/s pic.....she told me she would just send my reports "on the sly", for that I am so thankful to her. My. dr.s wouldnt say what any testing showed, so at least I'll see for myself, what the heck some of my numbers were, especially progesterone! I asked about the pic....she read my report to me over the phone......all of this time what I thought was my little bean, was only a yolk sac.....she said "Dee, there is no baby there at all, just a yolk sac".........I was truly devastated......not that it means my loss was any less heartbreaking, but I am like....uh.....my dr. couldnt tell me this LAST YEAR???...So, yeah, I get online, and start reading....and Blighted Ovum hits me in the face.....
I seriously do not know where I am going with this post, I guess I just needed to get it out.....
so here I am ...a year to the day I found out we would lose our baby(1 day before my b-day)...still getting p.o'd at my dr.........what timing huh???

thanks for listening ladies....

Oh Dee that is insane, and you have every reason to be venting and that Dr. needs a good A** chewing if you ask me

We are all here for you. Vent, yell, cry all you want!

Thank you Melissa

I did file a "complaint" last year, after everything had happened...and when the receptionist asked me why I no longer went there, I told her everything that the dr.s said to me, brutal comments.....and the fact I was treated like garbage.
I have hit the internet ONCE again, looking into blighted ovums, and at least I have read that it usually does not happen again, so that made me feel a little better....but who knows for sure right????

anyway, thanks for listening!

i would be so pissed! what a terrible doctor. i'm glad you don't go there anymore! (hugs)

[greenchild]

oh Dee, I am so sorry! Vent all you want!!!!! But at least you know what happened now, but I know that wasn't easy to hear! The dr should have told you in the first place!!! GRRRRRR Idiot dr's!!!

I can SO relate about bad dr experiences!!!!! With my 1st pg, I really liked my OB, but he was on vacation for part of the time so I also saw a dr that was an idiot, who told me there was no way my pg could be ectopic. And all the nurses were HORRIBLE!!!!! Even my dr said there were 2 he wanted fired. I even wrote a letter of complaint to the head the Mayo health systemm, not that I ever heard anything back from that. So with the 2nd pg I tried a different hospital, and although the nurses there were wonderful, the dr was a complete jerk and basically told me I was stupid. So now I'm back with the original OB and that's who I'll go with if IVF works. I at least want a dr that knows what he's doing and is nice about it!

Dee....


I am so glad you aren't going there anymore. I would still pay the $35-$45 to make sure the records they send are complete. I am not so sure I would trust what is said over the phone. I would want to see it for myself. And even if it is just the yolk sac.... it's your yolk sac

I hope you get the records soon so you can finally see for yourself and not have to have someone else read them to you.GRRRR

thank you girls !!


the recptionist actually pulled th u/s pic and had another dr. look at it last week when I first called there...and then read me the initital report over the phone the other day ( she has has been awesome...always was.)
I think it is sad that so many of us have horror stories and are basically just in and out of some offices like it was a cattle call...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I did file a complaint with my County Health dept...I got a call the very next day, saying there going to have someone look into the matter. Now If they did, I still don't know....all I know is a got a bill from the wonderful dr. a few weeks ago, for the co-pay that I paid on my first visit !!!!!! Mick wants to send "Monopoly" money...lmao!!

and yes, I know I was preg.....as soon as I saw my 5 bfp's .....this won't make me feel any less of a mommy to an angel.

thank you again ladies !

Oh Dee i am so sorry! I truely hate doctors (even though I work for them!). I had the worst OB ever during my first loss and I out right refused to go back to him after my second lose. My family doctor had some compassion and referred me to a new one and now I have the best OB ever. I just adore her and she is taking very good care of me this pg. I really hope you get a nice doctor that you can trust and forget about this loser doctor. Don't let him ruin your memories of your angel. He is not worth it Dee.

thank you all so much for your kind words ...you are the best ...really

I did get my bloodwork in the mail today....and it is all good stuff! They had me thinking my diabetes was totally out of whack....well I saw the numbers today, and at the time of my pregnancy, the A1 something or other test for diabetes was a 6.4.....non diabetic is 6.0.....I am thrilled considering when I was first diagnosed, it was 19.9
Progesterone was 11.2 (taken the day we found out I was going to miscarry)....my platelet count was a little low, so that will need to be looked into...but EVERYTHING else was right on target....so today was a good day....good news, finally !

[Sabina]

That is good news!

Glad things are going better for you... and glad you got rid of Dr. DumbA** too.[/b]
