Yesterday I had my first appointment with my primary care doctor. First, let me say that he was one of the nicest doctors I have ever encountered. He didn't pull any punches but he was also very understanding of our situation. He said he had read up on my file before I even came in so he could be familiar with anything I wanted to talked about.
I got right to it and told him I needed a referral to an RE doctor, he didn't bat an eye and promptly put in the referral and also did one for more genetic testing. Now we just wait for them to be approved. Also, he told me that since we will have to go outside of our area to see a doctor that tricare will reimburse us if the trip is over 100 miles away. This was a great thing to hear.
While this entire journey has been very heartbreaking and frustrating I have learned so much about myself and I have always learned who my true friends are. There are those that have stood by us no matter what but there are those that once they had kids they did not want to hear about our struggles anymore. Don't get me wrong I understand but it is frustrating.
We will get through this leg of our journey as we always do, we will not let this define us but we will continue to do all that we can to have a family. We certainly have not ruled out adoption or any other avenue, we will take it one step at a time.

Happy Tuesday!
High five for good doctors! I'm impressed and glad it went well. Here's to some good news in your near future!
ReplyDeleteHugs friend! I just know that one day you and Kyle will be parents! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found a doctor who is so nice and is taking you seriously! I hope those referrals are approved quickly and you can move forward with this process!!! Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteHoping things work out, SOON! That's great you have found an understanding doc ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get the ball rolling right away. I will continue to pray for you all!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you friend and hoping for only the best.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray for you! This will happen!! Glad that you'll be in the care of good doctors!
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking about you!!! Good luck with your new doctor.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your new doctor seems like he really cares about his patients!
ReplyDeleteWow, a doctor who reads your file BEFORE you get there?! I've been going to the same doctor for 5 years and every single visit, she takes the first 5 minutes to read my file, asks me the same questions she always asks me, and can't remember a single thing from the previous visit (and yes, I'm aware I probably need a new doc, haha).
ReplyDeleteYou guys are in my thoughts and prayers!!
I'm glad you have such a great primary care doctor! I hope things go well with the other doctors too!
ReplyDeleteHoping that you get a really good RE doc. Praying that soon you'll have good news too; like an answer as to why it keeps happening that they have found a way to help with that problem. Love you and sending you many hugs.
ReplyDeleteYAY for good doctors!!! And as always, good luck, lady!
ReplyDeleteMore hugs and of course continued prayers! If you need to vent, a shoulder to cry on, or anything else let me know. I will be there in a heartbeat. This journey is never easy.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow! He read your file before hand?!?! dang that is awesome!!! We need more doctors like that!
It's great to hear that you're back in the loop and especially that your PCP is so great! Hoping that your referrals are approved quickly and you can continue your journey to having the family you long for. Hugs to you my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a Dr. you like so far!! Knock on wood he stays great! And once your waiting is over, it won't even be like you had to wait. Easy to say now... but you'll see. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you had a great experience! I hope all future appointments go just as well. Pretty cool about the reimbursement too!
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that you had a good experience with your PM, I hope the next doctor's appointment goes well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your PCP is understanding! I really like the one they assigned me here; makes life a little easier. How far will you have to travel to see a specialist?
ReplyDeleteThinking of you :)
Good luck with the RE! Lots of prayers for y'all.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are having so much trouble bearing children - that must be rough :( I hope everything works out for you soon! {{{hugs}}}

I am glad your doctor was great! I hope you get to see the RE soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful primary care doc! It's not very often that a doctor actually reads your file before they see you - even though I totally think they should. Good luck with the RE doctor.
ReplyDeleteYou two are not only strong - but an inspiration. Keep the faith <3
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of hugs, love, and positive vibes. xo
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got a doctor who prepared himself before meeting you! I'm praying everything works out. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways thinking of you two!
ReplyDeleteIt is so refreshing hearing about a good, caring doctor! I am praying for you both! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good experience. Finding a doctor who's on your team is a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you had a good doctor and will continue to pray for you in this area of your life. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI am wishing and hoping and praying for big things for you in 2015!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you got an understanding doctor, it's so rare it seems these days.
