Rough day

jademyst13 · #1 January 28th, 2008, 04:15 PM

I don't really know why today got to me so much, but it really did.

I was supposed to have had a WIC appointment on Thursday. I finally got around to calling them a week or so ago to tell them I had a miscarriage and won't need you anymore (via voicemail). Well Tuesday I got an automated call reminding me of my appointment, ok whatever. Friday I got a call I missed with a voicemail saying call to reschedule or I could lose my benefits. I went and called all cranky saying why do y'all keep calling me? She was real nice and said that I could get post-partum benefits and to call back on Monday if I wanted to do that to make a new appointment.

So today I called this morning and the lady was real short with me and just said call back after 1, ok fine. I called back and kept getting the machine, I called and called. I have left messages before and they never call back. Well I finally left a message, but a little while later I called back anyway. This time I get through.

She tells me that I have to have proof of miscarriage. This hit me so wrong! I said I don't have that, I never even had to show proof of being pregnant so why do I have to prove I lost it?!?! She said I would had to have showed them proof of pregnancy. Well I DID NOT! I had it with me, but no one asked. So she tells me to call my Dr and get them to write something out.

I'm crying by now and tell her fine and was told to call back after I get it to make an appointment. I call the Dr and leave a message crying. Then I go and calm back down and go on with my day.

The Drs office calls back and I tell her what I need and she says I never came back for my follow up bloodwork. I was busy the week I was supposed to go and then I just kinda pushed it back and forgot. Well they won't give me the letter till I get the other bloodwork. She said how I could be putting my health in danger by not getting my levels checked to make sure they went back to 0 blah blah blah

So now I have to go in tomorrow for bloodwork. I don't know why, but this had me upset too. I was crying all over again before I got off the phone with her.

It's like this will never end! Can't I move on already!

Geez this was long...sorry about that. Thanks for listening ladies!

Oh Jenn, that's sooo horrible!!!!!

I'm sorry you're going through this!!

Proof of miscarriage?? Are you kidding me?!?!?!

Oh Jenn, sorry you had such a rough day! It sucks that WIC is being such a pain, but the benefits can be helpful, too, so sometimes it's worth the hassle.

Sorry you have to get the bloodwork tomorrow, ughhh.

I can not believe you have to go through all of that !!!

with my first pregnancy, I had WIC, and was NEVER asked for proof of my m/c.....maybe every state is different though I don't know.....but I think THAT is just ridiculous !!!!! and even more so that your Dr. won't give you the letter you need!
I think they all need a good a** kickin'....but thats JMO

~big hugs~

Oh Jen, I am so sorry. You don�t deserve to be put thru all of that. I don�t blame you one bit; I would have been crying as well. I�m still battling insurance over my D&C and it is so hard to not be emotional when someone is giving you a hard time and has no sympathy as to what you�ve been thru. I was so ticked at my insurance company and told the lady on the phone, �I didn�t realize it would cost so much to lose a baby�.

I just want you to know I feel your pain! I hope today is a better day for you. HUGS!

That is so horrible! I'm so sorry they put you through that!

ShannonMVT · #11 January 29th, 2008, 09:30 AM

How horrible! I can't believe you have to give them proof of your miscarriage.

I haaaate stuff like that. I've had to fight with my OB GYN's billing office for months over a global delivery fee and it always makes me feel so bad when I have to keep talking to them about my m/c.

Ugh, I'm so sorry! People can be such insensitive pains! HUGS

I am so sorry that you are being treated this way. It is ridiculous what they are putting you through. I hope that your bloodwork went smoothly and you can get WIC taken care of so you don't have to deal with them anymore. HUGS

Oh my goodness - how awful. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Who ever heard of needing proof miscarriage! That's ridiculous... I hope you're feeling better today.

jademyst13 · #16 January 30th, 2008, 08:44 AM

Thanks ladies! I'm glad someone understands how I feel.

I went and go my bloodwork yesterday and I have to call back in a little while for the results. I'm scared they will tell me I will need a D&C after all or that I have to put TTC off even longer.

I will update after I hear the results
