February Cherubs | Testing Thread

[josephine3]

Well the scan was awful. She wouldn't give me any info other than both ovaries are over 10ml volume which suggest polycystic. She was a really horrible woman and discredited everything I said telling me that she won't do an antral count because its meaningless and that pcos people still get pregnant. Ffs I know that. She was really rough with the internal and it hurt. I genuinely felt quite violated and had to take a while in the cafe before carrying on with my day. She just kept saying well pcos isn't just diagnosed through scan you need bloods etc. I told her my bloods have come back fine but my ovaries are still polycystic. I told her that wasn't the point of the scan she said well it's only for fertility we do antral count I said I am here for fertility!!!! Really feel disheartened. I was trying to peek through the door at my scan pics after. Winds me up they don't show you when it's your own body. Uhhh. All I saw on the pics I peeked at was 2 dark blobs on what I'm guessing was an ovary..

I wish now I hadn't gone straight to the loo, if I'd known she would leave the door open I would have stuck around to peek more. I'm sure at only 3-4 dpo though a pregnancy wouldn't be seen. She took ages with the internal though and it was really uncomfortable

 

[josephine3]

About halfway through she finally asked me when my last period was and J said I'm just after ovulation and she said 'so day 14' I was like no day 21 actually!!

Sorry for multiple posts I've just had such a shit day and she was so mardy and so rushed even tho the actual internal took ages I really didn't like her she kept speaking down to me. I guess the free NHS has its downsides but God bless em that we don't have to pay! I just feel like you usa ladies would get treated better cos you are paying and maybe told stuff right away?

In my eyes it's her job whatever was irritating her or weather it is just the way she is she shouldn't be talking to people like shit, weather we get for free or not it's her job she done all the degrees and stuff to do that toy leave your mardy arse at the door when you start work and put a smiley face on especially when in a public sector like that, so sorry you had that experience tho xx

I think in the US we are fortunate because we can ask providers for specific things --like a follicle count on ultrasound. I do know for most of us in the US, seeing a fertility specialist and any special imaging is paid for out of our own pockets and not paid for at all by health insurance.

 

[NDH]

Oh Josephine that sounds like a really awful appointment. I'm sorry you were treated that way.

 

[ehjmorris]

So sorry about your experience @josephine3 she sounds like a cow. I never understand why people that do those jobs can’t have more sympathy and understanding.

hope your day turns around x

 

[ehjmorris]

4dpo and time dragging…

 

[Saradavies89]

Omg how horrible! Could u put in a complaint nobody should be made to feel and inconvenience. And should be made to feel comfortable throughout as it’s such a personal thing xxx

 

[Laurabub84]

@josephine3 i agree about putting in a complaint, especially if she wasn’t being gentle and causing you unnecessary discomfort. I hate people like that. There’s just no need for it and it’s unprofessional. As you say this is your body and you have every right to ask questions and have them answered. I’m sorry it didn’t go as you’d hoped

hope time speeds up a bit for you.

I’m so sorry. Yes. We normally know exactly what they are looking for in the US and they will tell us. I’m really sorry she treated you like that!

 

[MrsLux]

Looks like I will be joining you all! Day 1 of cycle 14 praying this will finally be the month! Should be ovulating on the 7th or 8th, so will plan on testing starting the 16th

Good luck to you! We were TTC post V reversal so thinking of you x

I'm so sorry hun

 

[NDH]

Sorry for yet another bfn suggerhoney . I hope you still get a surprise bfp in the next few days.

 

[josephine3]

Thanks so much for the support ladies sorry for being so down yesterday.
@Suggerhoney sorry about the bfn I know you will be feeling out now
Just 4dpp for me here x

 

[HalfricanMa]

Sorry suggerhoney.
@NDH and @xZoeyx crazy about the dreams! I had a dream last night that I took a very unique pregnancy test and because it was so different, it took me a few minutes to realize it was positive!! How wonderful if the dreams actually would be prophetic! Haha.
@josephine3 sorry that was just an awful experience. I agree with the other ladies that you should file a complaint.

afm, im unsure if i’ll ovulate. I got the peak monday but havent had the temp rise. We’ve tried bd every other day this fertile cycle because in the past we’ve done every day. Thought maybe switching it up. But this was my last cycle of clomid so i may have to call the doc to try for another script. Hubby & I will keep baby dancing in case I just ovulate late and have long lh surge. That’s what happened last month.
