Lisa! I hope its just late IB!

I'm back from docs! I love that woman... I really, really do!

So, I'm not diabetic (shocking, right?)... Actually, I knew I wasn't... It was just the "fasting" blood sugar of 140. She told me she was flipping out... "OMG! Is she out there somewhere not knowing that she's diabetic? With blurry vision? Passing out in the mall?" I at her! She also said that my urine test stuff came back fine... so, I asked about all the faintness. She said that my urine isn't "broken"... its just not "like most other people's urine." She said that they don't know why, but some people just don't get the regents absorbed into their urine like most people. The tests are made the way they are because "most people" can use them accurately. I cannot. She basically said not to think of myself as "broken"... because there is no "fix"... I'm "just different and have to accept that." So, that's the story of my pee. Want the best part? She (finally!!!) agreed to do betas for me whenever a situation was unclear!!! I told her I couldn't get anyone to do beta HCG's for me, and she said that she'll make sure I get them in her office whenever I need them!!! I'm SO excited! Especially since I've been accused so many times of not being willing to get blood tests for one reason or another... Its nice that I'll never have to hear it again! I FINALLY have someone who will do HCG for me!

She also said that Illinois is a very different medical community than anywhere else she's been (Indiana, Michigan, etc)... because the doctors in those places consistently want and try to help. Here... They just want to pass you off to someone else! But, she's not passing me off! I was so happy that I could have cried!

She's looking for a doctor who will do certain tests that she can't perform based on her orders. Like, she wants me to get an HSG... She was shocked that I'd not had one! So, that should be in the works. She was shocked that I hadn't had the tests on the list I gave her too! She said most of them should have been done over a year ago!!!

So, while I'm horrified at a lot of the doctors who have failed me... I'm VERY EXCITED that she's working so hard for me! She said she'll do her best to become the doctor I need her to be since no one else wants to help me!

So, I'm down another 7 vials of blood. She didn't do the entire list, as she said it was just too much blood at one time! So, she did the ones she felt were most important first!

I got:

CBC - including ESR
Iron, Ferritin, B12, B6
FSH, LH, E2
Antinuclear antibodies
Cardiolipin antibodies
Lupus anticoagulant
Prolactin

My TSH had just been tested 2 weeks ago. My progesterone WILL be tested at 7dpo (also horrified that everyone had refused to do that one)!

Anyway, those are the ones that she thought were most pertinent at this moment. She said we'd move on to the others if these didn't show anything. She's thinking it could be some sort of autoimmune disease though... Said it would explain it. So, maybe! It would be treatable, which is good! Prednisone through 1st Tri is apparently the way to get around that if I have one.

I don't know what else to say! I'm just hopeful finally!!! I can't believe that she's actually HELPING me! I'm so, so, so happy today! Love to Dr. Lashunda Williams!

That's great that you've found someone knowledgable and supportive to finally help you Megg!!

 

[shaerichelle]

Awesome Megg. Excited for you. Someone to help you and guide you along.

VGibs. It might just be irritable male syndrome. My dh seems to have caught that lately.

[Megg33k]

I'd share her, but she must stay in my area of the world... So, head on over to Peoria IL, USA!

 

[TripleB]

So glad you've found someone who'll listen Megg and pro-actively help, fantastic! She probably enjoyed having such a well-informed patient! xxx

Sparkly - so sorry that you're having a pants time - sounds like the last thing you need

Hey Megg!!! Great news that the doctors are helping you finally. Mine is too Had my appointment a couple of days ago and she listened and immediately said that she would refer us for specialist help even though I've already got 3 children. She said that I'd be eligible because it would be my first with this partner, I think she's also taken my age into account as I'm getting on a bit now and I've been trying for about a year now (I know some of you lovely ladies have been trying for much longer ). She mentioned IVF but I said I doubt it would need to go that far as I don't seem to have a problem getting pregnant, it's staying pregnant that's the problem.

Sooooooo, anyway yesterday I had a blood test (CD21) for progesterone levels and we go from there. Hopefully it will just be a simple case of prescribing progesterone supplements but at least we've got the ball rolling. The doctor was soooooo lovely. Have to make another appointment on Thursday to get the results.

I will also be testing this week, very excited about that (hope I get a BFP on Tuesday as it's my b'day). Anyone fancy looking at my chart to see if it looks promising? I've had some promising symptoms so far ....

Sorry for rattling on, I don't post very often .... just stalk xx

Megg, that is fantastic news! Your doctor sounds like she may be a keeper! It's always good when you have someone who will listen to you! I found mine in November 2008 after firing 2 other doctors. I guess doctors are like men, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince (or princess)? I have prince's all around me!
Josiejo, I know what you mean.... I am 38 with 4 mc under my belt. the last one being at 9 weeks in Feb. It's not getting pregnant, it's staying pregnant. Good luck to you and your chart looks great!
