This morning I bit the bullet and called the RE's office that I'm interested in going to in the coming year. The woman who answered the phone was so kind and wasn't put off at all by my bizarro questions about coverage. I wonder if they get it all the time.
So I found out that a consult with the RE will cost $150 at which time he may or may not order additional testing. The receptionist seemed pleasantly surprised when I listed off the tests I'd already had done through my Gynecologists office but wasn't sure if the doctor would want them repeated or not. Either way, I think I'm going to talk to Babe tonight about making an appointment soon. It may help to find out if our 2015 insurance options will work there. Right now, I'm feeling a mixture of happiness and excitement. Who knew this process would bring so many tears of happiness along with sadness.
It's also brought with it its share of financial cost. Just this morning my thermometer crapped out on me so I wasn't able to take my bbt. I'm still taking my temps at 5:45 even though I'm back to my regular work schedule. I'll keep it up through this cycle just to keep my charting consistent. But at 5:45 when I know I have an hour more to sleep, no lights and loud beeping coming from a crappy thermometer, I have no other option than to go back to sleep. Waking up to see if it could be fixed wasn't worth it. So this afternoon I ran to Walgreens during lunch to see if I could buy a replacement. The only ones I could find were for infants and toddlers and when I finally got someone to help me, she kept asking if I was "trying". Without being rude I simply overstepped the question and thanked her for her help. Hopefully this thermometer has a longer shelf life than the last, which by the way was not cheap.
