Beta #3...... oh well...

bmwbrandi2005 · 01-29-2007, 03:11 PM

what an awful day!! I went to the DR's office early this morning as they had told me to do when the Nurse called me last Friday... she told me I would have to see the DR when I came in- and that I was to wait in the office for the results from the beta because they didn't want me to stress about it longer than I should have to... well...

first of all , when I got there... they acted like I was lying... no where in my paper work did it say anything about the conversation I had with the nurse last Friday- nothing about "rushing" my results- or seeing the DR today... I was furious!!!!

so they finally agreed to let me do my hcg... then sent me on my way... I asked the receptionist as I was going to the lobby how long I should have to wait- she replied... "oh....ummmm... 2 to 3 DAYS!!!"

what!!!! at that point I'm sure there was steam coming out of my ears. I told her no- I was told to wait til I got the results- and that I should know this morning.... she basically called me a liar in a really "nice" way... and said she would have to see what she could do- and that they would call me by noon... well.... time flew on... and I called and called... and no one would return my call... finally I called back and asked to speak to the nurse and I did not want to speak to her voicemail... and wow.... after 15 minutes of being on hold... listening to elevator music

I finally got in touch with a real live person!! and she told me I needed to come in tomorrow to see the DR since I "MISSED MY APPOINTMENT TODAY" with her and discuss my results with her then... I said... UH NO!!! i didn't miss my appointment- the receptionist told me I could not see her... and sent me home... and I WILL GET MY NUMBERS TODAY!!! I am so mad right now- I do not even want to go back to that office! so anyways- first she tells me my number "went up to 2,000 something, but it did not double" uhhhh... ok.... so I think you need to check my paperwork AGAIN.... because if my number is 2,000 "and something" then it obviously didn't double--- it went DOWN!!! could you check it again please???!!! "ohh yes Brandi...

I'm sorry it went up to 29,184".... OK!!! thank you for almost sending me into heart failure!!!

dang... I mean... that's a HUGE difference.... 2,000 to 29,184.... what was she thinking??? they are so very very unprofessional... I don't know if I can deal with it anymore. so now she tells me that if the number is that high then I need to come in tomorrow to get an ultrasound (well... duh- I was already scheduled for one tomorrow) to see if the pregnancy has "remained" and if nothing is wrong then we should be able to see a heartbeat.

... well... gee... thanks for the encouragement! I really needed to hear that optimism after my looong weekend of worrying and praying that the pregnancy has "remained". So not only did I have to get upset at the fact of how they treated me today... but I did not find out my test results until 4:40pm this afternoon, and I had to call several times to get them!!! gee... they really put a rush on it for me didn't they??

... so she concluded the conversation with... well... we are still concerned that your numbers are not doubling like they are supposed to... but I guess we'll find out tomorrow if everything is OK. Goodluck...

yeh.. thanks...

.... so its going to be another loooong sleepless night.

... yep... it turned out to be a great day

21dpo- 7,730 *jan 23

well.... guess I'll just wait and see

I have been checking for your post. GOOD GRAVY, Brandi, what he!!!!

I think some people need to take Communicaion 101 simultaneously with Compassion 101.

I think your number looks ~*perfect*~!!! ++++++ thoughts that you see your lil bean tomorrow! And try to ignore the crappy staff.

{{{hugs}}}

**BC-Maura** · 01-29-2007, 03:37 PM

OMG, Brandi! Just reading your post gave me a coronary... I can't imagine how you felt living it! That office is RIDUCULOUS! I hope you don't have to stay there, but if you do, things need to change. To put you through such unnecessary stress... and to suggest that you were lying... and to say you missed your appointment!?!?!?!

Deep breaths.

As for your number, congratulations! It looks like it's rising very appropriately

. What time is your u/s tomorrow?

Sending you lots of +++ to get through tonight and for a reassuring u/s tomorrow!

{{{HUGS}}}

Hello*!!! oh my goodness....I am sorry you have to deal with this office. To me it just seems like they are jusr not up to code with compassion. I agree with Vigra that they need some classes on communication and compassion. I hope everything goes great for you tomorrow*!!! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

i'll be suprised if I still have my sanity by then... the waiting is driving me maaaaaddd

I'll update when I get home... hopefully they will have my results back from the cyst in my breast too (actually it was supposed to be back this past Friday) ...

huh ... we'll see...

sarahp · 01-29-2007, 04:24 PM

brandi, first let me say congrats on the great beta! i KNOW that everything is great in there!!

second, can you find another new doctor? one that doesn't have their head up their ass?? seriously - they're supposed to be making you feel better, reassuring you, and they're the jerks that are driving you mad!

for your sanity (and mine

) find a new OB!

Cibele · 01-29-2007, 05:31 PM

First of all congratulations on the great numbers.
OMG, how can they be so unprofessional, inssensitive and careless... I hope tomorrow you have a better experience. All the best hon
((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

Brandi, what a bunch of insensitive jerks! I must agree with everyone else, your numbers look good. I'll be sending you h/b prayers tomorrow my dear.
Hugs,
Pecan

hopingforbaby1 · 01-29-2007, 06:52 PM

Wow, what a nightmare! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that, I'd definitely be looking for another doctor! Your beta numbers do sound great though, good luck with the u/s.

ChrisNY · 01-29-2007, 08:06 PM

Oh Brandi, It sounds like your OB office has a bunch of nuts in it and not the good kind.

I hope that your u/s goes really really well tomorrow and that you report back ASAP as I will be waiting for good news!

Hugs and Prayers for a flicker tomorrow, Chris
