My HSG results

June 9, 2007

I know that I haven't written in a couple of weeks but a lot has been going on and then when I did get the results they were depressing so I had to gather my thoughts before I could write about it. So here I go..... I had an appointment on this past Monday which was June 4th. I left work and drove to the doctor. I checked in and waited. The nurse walked me into an examination room and I waited. A few minutes later the doctor poked his head in and asked me to follow him into his office. So I walked into his office and sat down. He cut right to the chase and said that my tubes were blocked and that the only way I could have a child would be IVF. I'm not surprised by the results because of how painful the HSG was but what bothered me was how cold the doctor was about telling me. It was like he was telling me that I had a hang nail on my finger. It was very heartless and unfeeling. He made me feel like since I had those results I was wasting his time. When I asked him what could have caused my tubes to be blocked he said it could be from an infection, or endo, or whatever else that didn't really matter. There was nothing that he could do, Kaiser doesn't cover IVF, he could refer me to a place that does but it's expensive. But if money is not an issue for you than IVF is your next step. So I'm thinking to myself that since money is an issue for me than I'm A#@$% out. I was so zoned out that I just didn't have anything else to say. I'll continue the rest later....
