I don't remember if I mentioned in my last post that I found my doctor's email address on their office website. I emailed him and told him what the other doctor had said and told him that I just needed to know if this is what he thought also. I told him that I didn't think that this was the direction he was headed because if it was the birth control is pointless. When I got in to work this morning I had a response from him. He said that he did want to see if the cyst went down and that if it did he would try me on Clomid again but we can't do that until the cyst goes down and he told me he would be in the office today so if I could I should come in and let him do the sonogram. So I called as soon as they opened and when I say "as soon as they opened" I mean they opened at 8:00 and I called at 8:02...lol. She got me in at 10 and I had my sonogram done. He said that the cyst has gone down some just not enough to do the Clomid. He wants me to try another month of birth control and he said we could potentially do this for 6 months but if it hasn't gone down by the he would refer me to another doctor to have it laproscopically removed. He said he will be able to tell in the next month or so if there is any chance of this working in 6 months otherwise we won't do it that long and he will send me to the other doctor. I asked him if this would be the same as the ovary drilling I have read about where they go in and drill holes in the ovaries to help release eggs. He said no that is different but it would be a good idea to have it done all at the same time. So anyway, I am going to do the birth control again and see what happens next month. The question of the day is.....WHY didn't the other doctor say that?!?! My opinion is that he just flat out didn't give a damn. He didn't bother to read my chart to see what was going on. Then today I go in and the nurse remembers seeing me the day before but looks and there is NOTHING in my chart about me seeing the other doctor so there is nothing in there about what he told me. WHAT A FREAKIN MORON! So I told the receptionist to put an alert on my account (I know they can because they use our software) that I do NOT want to EVER be seen by Dr. Le again. I try really hard not to be a racist or prejudice but all I can say about that idiot is he is a stupid chink!
Well that's it for now. I am back on my original track just a slight derailment. We will see what it looks like again next month! Let's just hope I don't bleed to death by then!....LOL

Read With Caution...
I think I am calm enough now to say this without two many bad words slipping but I make no promises.
Today I went to the doctor. The doctor I saw was not my normal doctor because he was out on vacation. He came in, looked at my chart, and then asked me if I had been given anything to make me ovulate. I told him my OBGYN had given me clomid but my hormone levels never changed enough for them to know for sure if I ovulated or not. He then proceeded to ask me if I could afford $600 to $700 a month for injections. I told him not right away. So then he said there was nothing more he could do for me! He said I could try losing weight and then my body may start ovulating on its own. I was so mad and upset I didn't ask questions and I barely even listened to him from that point on. He did give me a prescription for progesterone which will keep me regular as far as my periods go but probably won't help me ovulate.
I left and cried most of the way from the doctor's office back to work. All this sounded like to me was that he was telling me I was too poor and too fat to help. Then I started thinking, the doctor I have been seeing seemed to have many more options he was thinking of trying. I think this doctor just didn't want to deal with it. He didn't even do the sonogram which is the whole reason I was there! So this afternoon I looked at their website and got my normal doctors email address and emailed and told him everything that happened and everything the other doctor said and asked him to let me know if this is really my only option because he led me to believe that there were other things we could try.
So now I feel like I am back at step one because The sonogram wasn't done so we don't know if the cyst on my ovary went down or not.
WHAT A BUNCH OF FREAKIN CRAP!

The votes are in!
My body is jacked up! Seriously though, I stopped bleeding finally on Wednesday of last week then yesterday evening I realize its back! Today I am back to full flow and I still have 8 pills left of my birth control! I haven't missed a pill or anything. So I called the doctor's office since I am supposed to go in on the third day of my next period and I asked her if I should consider this my period even though I shouldn't even be bleeding or what. She went ahead and scheduled me to come back in on Thursday for a sonogram. She said she isn't sure why I am already bleeding so it wouldn't hurt for the doctor to look and see if the cyst has gone down. I guess we will see on Thursday!
