Well I thought I would have something positive to write after my visit but sadly I do not. I really had high hopes for this visit because I did some research about the office and my doctor and felt really good about it.
After waiting in lobby with kids running everywhere for 45 mins we were called back to our room. The nurse practitioner came in and explained to me that the doctor would not be seeing me today (which I already knew). She wanted to ask a few questions about my history. She then started calling medical files a novel. I think she honestly thought that we haven't been dealing with our issues for very long. It wasn't until she started going through my "novel" that she realized that we have been going to the doctor since 2011 for everything.
The one part of the the visit that drove Preston nuts was the fact that she kept focusing my endometriosis and not my uterus. On our car ride home he told me that he was frustrated that he had to say "but we are here about her uterus not just the endometriosis" to get her to refocus about the uterus.
After maybe 20 mins of her asking a few questions and writing some notes she informed us that she will give the doctor my file and her notes from todays visit. She does not know if the doctor will be setting up another appointment with us or not. If she does she only sees patients on Wednesdays. The nurse also mentioned the doctor might refer me to specialist also.
All in all we feel like I need to go the base hospital and talk to someone about what we should really do next. My doctor had told me in the past that he would be able to do surgery on my uterus but did not want to because he didn't want to do something that San Diego would not like. Well San Diego is not seeing dependents at this time and this place in Fresno has no idea when they can schedule me again. We really don't feel like having another place dragging their feet. To doctors they may think they are going as fast as they can. And to outsiders I may seem that I am being whiny and super annoying about all this. But in all reality all we want is a healthy baby of our own!
