New RE was a waste of time (vent)

[stacey10]

had my app with the new re that replaced my retired one, and what a waste, left in disgust and thanfully didnt have to pay a cent..... my old re was going to put me on a 3 month course of dhea and then possible ovulation induction, this new one would only give me dhea if I was on a stimulated cycle and would only  treat me like an ivf patient (which I'm not) so it was a blatent grab for money, last re was happy to treat me as an individual and this new one just wanted to follow standard proceedure, ie hsg being done, d/h sperm being checked, all  things that DONT need doing, I have old eggs, thats it, full stop, dhea would have helped any good ones mature and I could have gotten pregnant at the end of the 3 months, now I have no dhea and not much hope :(

I have had many dealings with drs for my autoimmune disease.  It took me almost 5 years to finally get a diagnosis!  (Long story short had diagnosis from depression to oh nothings wrong with you.  Lol yeah that's why im hurting!) It took me forever it seems to find a dr that actually cared and believed me. And even when we started trying for #3 I was told by 3 drs I was in early menopause nothing they could do, not even an offer of help!  I am glad I don't take no for an answer.  I finally found an re that would help me and now have my beautiful now 1 yo baby girl.  Most drs I have found if your case is too complicated and they might have to take time to figure out what's really wrong wont do it! Or they immediately pick the most expensive thing that most people can't afford. I was told by one dr if this was gonna take more that 10 minutes of his time I really should find another dr. Wth???!!! Ok my rant for the day....I understand where you are coming from is what I wanted to   say.

ah well I'm better now after an appointment with my acupuncturist who is also a western docotr :) dont know where he planted those needles today but I feel much better, after telling him what this guy was like he totally agreed with me regarding my feelings about the unnecessary  tests suggested for both myself and d/h, he is willing to write me a script, I have left him with info I printed out about dhea and have said that I will leave it up to him after he has read all the info, so ita another week to see if he will do it, but he did seem very happy to do so :)  here is a link related to the dhea and its current for this year, put the www. in first     centerforhumanreprod.com/about  chrupdate.html   for anyone whose interested :)  thanks ladies for your support and kind thoughts/words :)

it does and I cant stop crying, I have been so blessed to have children and I just wanted to be given the opportunity to have ny last one if it could happen, I read everyday on this site about the struggles other ladies/couples have to have a baby and it breaks my heart to see what they have to go through and it lights me up when I hear that they have become pregnant,, but to have my last hope/door slamed in my face just because he would only follow standard proceedure and not treat me, all I needed was a scripot for 3 months of dhea thats it and he wouldnt give it to me :(

Aww, sorry about that, it would really suck.

[stacey10]

thanks :) but I just feel so devestated at this point in time, we cant afford to go from doctor to doctor  in the hope of finding one that will be happy to give me dhea and thats it, he wouldnt even listen to me that I've been pregnant 18 times, still wanted to check to see if my tubes were open, I'm like well they havent magically blocked themselves in the last 6 month and hm d/h"s sperm hasnt magically dried up either but he wasnt interested in my background, only in following standard proceedure :(

Aw Stacey, I'm sorry.  I wish all Dr.;s would treat us like the individuals we are and not just a statistic or according to "standard protocol".  Can you not find another one?  Big hugs honey, and I'm sorry.
