A New Doctor and A New Hope

Before I knew it May was here and it was time to schedule my yearly gynecology exam with Doctor D. There was only one problem with this. Doctor D. had ventured out of gynecology and started practicing weight management. She now only practiced light gynecology and was not going to deliver babies anymore. Still very confident that I would be pregnant very soon, I decided to change doctors. I went with a male this time, Doctor G. I had been told by my sister and a few other women that he was very good so I was very confident in making my decision. To my surprise there wasn't a very long wait to get in with him either! When I called to schedule my yearly exam I didn't think it would hurt just to ask if I should schedule a different kind of appointment to talk to him about infertility (at this point I couldn't even believe I was saying that word like I was in a statistic), but I knew that I didn't want to mess up their schedule by taking up too much time in an appointment. The sweet lady at the front desk explained to me that if I had been charting my cycle like I had for at least six months then I was more than prepared to talk to Doctor G. about infertility and I was correct in thinking that it needed more time than just the yearly exam allowed. It was official by the time I hung up the phone...I had my first "infertility" appointment with my new doctor on June 30, 2010. I didn't know if I should be excited or not. I prayed non stop up until that day that I would be pregnant walking into that office. I knew that it seemed far fetched, but I told myself even if I wasn't pregnant by the end of June I had a new hope! This is the first time I was actually able to wrap my head around the fact that I may need help other than the free stuff on the Internet, or the sticks that I had relied on for their positive results.
