Crazy Day

So today I saw my new RE/ObGyn. He is AMAZING. Seriously, it's so refreshing to talk to somebody who actually knows something about my issues. I feel sort of like I'm getting a fresh start. So, let me sum up my appointment for all of you who are interested. And if you're not... oh well- I'm summing it up anyway.

Dr. Reproductive genius is part of a team of doctors that is going to work to get me pregnant. I know that sounds awkward, but hey, it's true. He specializes in infertility (obviously) but even better, he specializes in PCOS. So after taking plenty of time to listen to all my medical history/questions/complaints he pretty much told me the doctors I have previously been treated by are crazy. Okay, so they're not crazy but they have been trying to treat me without having a clue about what the problems are. AKA, they were just reluctant to refer me to a specialist because they wanted my money. (I probably shouldn't be so cynical, but that's what it seems like.)

So here's the plan, I'm running through a ton of tests tomorrow, and he got me in for another appointment next week where the team of doctors and I will come up with an individualized health plan. He really feels confident that I will be able to achieve pregnancy again with their help, and it's really comforting that he is so optomistic. And one of the best parts? He knows the way my insurance works, and he let me know that he won't be doing anything that the insurance won't pay for. Hallelujah! Affordable infertility health care! I was beginning to think it was a myth.

On another issue, yesterday was mothers' day. It was my first mothers' day since my son died. I managed to keep myself from crying at church, and ended up being glad that I had decided to go.

One more thing, we heard from the apartment lady recently. She said that as soon as we pass the financial requirements, we're pretty much for sure going to get in. After that it's just paperwork and contract signing. So we should know by the end of next week-ish.
