Hello, how is everyone? Anything new?
I have a question. I have still not heard from the FS. She called me last week, but I missed the call and tried calling her right back but she didn't answer. I also left another voice mail yesterday morning. I do not want to go to another FS because the next closest one through Kaiser is 90 minutes away!
I see others who just go to their regular doctor or an OBGYN and they get basic treatment such as metformin and/or Clomid. How did you do that? Mine just told me to go see a FS. I already know what is wrong, and I am sure the FS is just going to try out Clomid first but it is taking forever! Now I am already on CD 6 of my new cycle so it is too late to try Clomid this cycle. I am thinking about making an appointment with another OBGYN. What do I say to them to try and get help???
Hi Lulu. im not really too sure about how to get back in contact with the FS..how far away is she from you? is there anyway you could just go down there, or get through to her receptionist? i mean, what did the message say? did it ask you to call her back, or was it everything that she basically would have told you in person...it might be best to try and go back to your doctor and see whether they can get in contact for you.
my regular doctor wont prescribe me clomid either. i think it depends on whether they know much about fertility. i asked my doctor outright why i couldnt just have it from him, rather than waiting 6 weeks for an appointment with a FS, and he said it was because of the amount of monitoring that i would need, and he is not able to do it sufficiently. but i know many people who seem to be getting it straight from their doctor. my doctor has explained what is wrong to the FS already, so all i need is some further testing to make sure that pcos is the only problem and then they will start me on clomid. so maybe it is the same for you. i can imagine how frustrating it is to have already started a new cycle, but im pretty sure they wouldnt have simply put you on clomid straight away, so i dont think you have necessarily missed out on anything. like i said, i have already had all my bloodwork done, by my doc said that they will probably want to take more swabs etc for their own use, which wont be done before i see them.
sorry for the long reply. i think your best option is to keep trying to contact them, and leave messages. i imagine theyre really busy. if not, go back to your doctor and ask them to chase her up on your behalf.
on another note, i finally got my FS referral, after six months waiting. so only a few more weeks to wait! we might get to be clomid buddies
i just have to get through this provera, which my body seems to be hating. throwing up for 2 days is not nice!!
