New RE Concerns

Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008 11:47 AM

I know this new doctor is going to say IVF - maybe I am jumping the gun. Maybe he won't. I am getting really impatient -I just want to know what to do next - I am a planner and I need to plan.

I hope this new RE can deal with me - I have alot of questions and I have alot of infromation for him and I like to write everything down.

My old RE and I started off very badly - I was telling John last night - his first strike was his office - it was so messy we could barely sit down - and I know that is silly - but I am a neat freak and I do not find it very professional that you bring your new clients into such a mess. The second strike was when I began writing down what he was telling us - I need to write things down to help me understand and refer back to my notes later - well he told me not to write -to put my pen and paper down - which I did not like and strike three came when he messed up my second IUI cycle - when I was the one who had to call the office and say I need to have my ultrasound early because if we wait I will have already ovulated - and I was right - they were wrong.

So finally to my point - I am hoping this doctor takes my questions, cares, and concerns into account - I intend to bring all of my documents - I document everything - including my periods for the past two years and I plan on bringing a pen and paper to write things down and I am hoping he does not brush me off and listens to me - and answers all of my questions. I guess we will see.

re: New RE Concerns

Um, I would have left the old doctors office when he told me to stop writing.  That is your right as a patient to take notes on information the doctor gives you.  I would definitely take all your papers so you can show that you know something and you are serious.  I'm hoping the new one will listen and have a good discussion with you about your concerns and wishes.

I think you're going to have a great experience with this RE, I really do.  I am also full of questions and like to bring in lists and stuff...a doctor is usually very pleased with that because it shows you are informed and serious.  My doctor always loves my list of questions and how organized I am.  I think your new RE will totally appreciate that, and I bet he/she is more like you than you think he/she will be.  Good luck!

re: New RE Concerns

Your old RE sounds like he wasn't a very god Doctor.  I truly doubt this new guy could be half as bad.  I wish you all the luck in the world.  I am with Edmo on this.  I have a good feeling about the new guy.
