It's been a long week. A somewhat emotional, extremely frustrating long week chalked full of more questions than answers. Except, I should expect that by now.
A few weeks ago I had requested my medical records from my OB/Gyn in preparation for seeing an RE. Something I now regret I waited so long to ask for. I finally received them Wednesday night and decided to look over the 5 page document before bed. What I found has literally had me in shock wondering what my next steps should be.
First off the report started with the sentence, quotes included, "I can't get pregnant". Most people probably wouldn't think anything of that sencentence except Babe and I were both a dumbfounded at how insensitive it sounded. Also included was information as if I'd had a pap smear and physical conducted at their office which I hadn't. Then the report said I'd had a positive blood pregnancy test at their office, again something that I'd never done. Surprisingly he also noted a concern with Babe's SA even though during our conversation he said it looked normal and nothing to be concerned about at all.
Next I passed on to the HSG and ultrasound reports that were conducted in April. As mentioned the HSG found that my left tube flowed slowly. What I didn't know however that my ultrasound report stated there were subcentimeter myometrical cysts and focal cystic change as well as a tilted and T-shaped uterus. At the time of the transvaginal ultrasound I was on CD 10 and my uterine lining was also only 4mm thick. Not once in all the calls I made to my doctors office was any of this mentioned even when I suspected endometriosis. In fact, my doctor said it all looked fine and that I should continue to try naturally on our own for a while before seeing him again.
So now what do I do? Well, I've left a message with the office manager to see if they could explain the many discrepencies to me. I'm not expecting much in the way of a return phone call. So in the meantime, I plan on calling my insurance to see if they've been billed for services I never received. Lastly, I plan on waiting until we visit the RE's office for the first time. The girls from 3T suggest that he may have all the tests done again so I can be assured they were done properly. I'm more than happy if that's what's needed.
I'm still a little shocked at the results and furious that this information was withheld until now.
