Today's doctor's appointment went no differently than last week's with Dr. DoNothing. Seems like the infertility docs out here must have all gone to the same school...and since there are only two clinics in Utah and they serve Utah, Idaho and Nevada, we're out of options. So much for a homerun today, looks more like a swing and a miss.
To sum it up, I got the same speech, just told in slightly different words.
"You're young"...
"You haven't been trying that long"...
"Obviously you can get pregnant"...
"Healthy couples take on average six months to conceive"...
"Be patient, it will happen"...
This doctor doesn't see it as we do--that we've been trying for 18 months now. He sees it as we're on our 3rd or 4th cycle from the miscarriage in October. Well within the "normal" time frame. And if you want to get technical, this is the 1st cycle since the surgery to remove the polyps. Once again, we're to give it 4-6 months unmedicated and then he'll think about moving us on to ovulation induction meds. Even better yet, he told me to quit charting and using the fertility monitor. I vaguely remember him saying, "relax and have fun, it will happen in time".
So after 18 months, it looks like we just got drop-kicked back to square one.

A FERTILITY doctor told you to "relax" and "have fun"!!! Does he have NO SENSE of an appropriate bedside manner? Wait, was he up at the U with a last name that starts with an H?
I'm sorry, how frustrating!
