Last Sunday, I went to my family doctor (who is a new doctor b/c I left my old doctor before starting the TTC process b/c I knew she would never support me or my decision) to tell him I was pregnant and to get the ball rolling on getting an OB for when I'm released from the clinic. My doc was terrific and recommended someone who I wanted to ask him about, and then he told me I needed some blood work done to send to the OB.
Today I got the dreaded call from the doctor's office: "Your blood results are in and the doctor would like to see you."
WTF!!! Can't they say something like, "nothing to worry about, but the doctor wants to review your results"?
My thoughts are that this doctor doesn't know me at all...I've only seen him 4 times:
1) To meet him and have him b/come my doctor and ask for a referral to a fertility clinic.
2) To tell him that it's a 6 month wait for the fertility clinic and to get a referral to my current clinic.
3) To tell him about my foot injury.
4) To tell him that I'm pregnant and that I will need an OB.
So, since he doesn't know me, he doesn't know that I'm Iron deficient. I take Iron supplements every morning, and still my iron is low. I know this b/c even my RE commented that my iron is low. I guess it doesn't help that I decreased my liquid iron when I started the new prenatal vitamins a couple weeks ago, b/c the prenatal vitamins had more iron than my old vitamins and I didn't want to overdo it.
I'm thinking that he is concerned with my iron and b/c he doesn't know me, that's what he wants to share with me.
BUT...what if it's something else? I hate waiting and wondering.
Sunday morning at 10:15 I go to see my doc for the blood test results. Monday afternoon I have my 9 week u/s and hopefully get the all clear that everything is still going fine with my little baby.
Does anyone else panic when symptoms subside for a day? My boobs don't hurt so much today...but the nausea is still there...so does that mean that I'm still pregnant? LOL.
Gotta love Dr's phone calls like that! How can they not know how stressful that is?!? Good luck, I'm sure all is well.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably nothing to be concerned about. Maybe, as you said, your iron levels (which always drop in pregnancy).
ReplyDeleteAnyway hope all goes well on Sun and Mon you have a nice peek at your little one :-).
Oh I was big on panic. I think I didn't mind puking my face off because to me that meant I was still pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI panicked each and EVERY day up until the bitter end I am afraid! I was always checking my symptoms and as happy as I was to enter second trimester I was freaked out to because the symptoms disappear- oh man was I paranoid. Don't stress (I know easier said than done) really all you can do right now is control what is around you, rest, eat right and tell the doctor how to better handle those calls in the future.
