I LOVE MY NEW DOCTOR!
We walked into the clinic, with dark thoughts of long waites and disapointing results looming in our thoughts. We opened the door to the clinic to find a nouvo art theme going on. It was beautiful...open, with statues and bodices of men and womens bodies, iron artwork of the same theme, some funky light fictures that cascaded from the walls, wood floors and leather comfy chairs! I was wondering if we were in the right place. Oh and did I mention there was noone waiting? NOONE! We registered with the friendly receptionist and joked around with the nurses out front... apparently we had just missed the normal rush of the day... they said 'Take a seat, the Dr. will be right with you", not even 5 minutes passed... maybe just long enough for us to have a good look at the decore... and there he was... the Dr! We were pleasently surpised!
The Dr., a very friendly man, gentle eyes and a kind disposition about him, invited us into his office; one wall covered in plaques and accomplishments, the other wall with some more wonderful artwork! His computer was see thru with shining blue lights, he had a small fountain on an artsy table, along with somemore small body art work. Of course the first thing I said to him was 'My gawd your office is lovely, the art work is beautiful', he simply smiled and said 'we enjoy it! We like to be interesting.' Well, 10 out of 10 there! LOL.
He is a very gentle man, straight to the point with the best 'bedside manor' I have ever encountered with a Dr. He was so relaxed, leaning comfortably in his chair as he wrote down some of our history. He asked the normal questions, how long have you been trying? What treatments have you had? Any operations... ect ect. We explained to him the problems we've had with previous dr's. How our first RE said I was to fat to get an IUI, he seemed to know which dr we were talking about right away... told him about the side effects of clomid, and the other drugs and tests and hell we've been through... His eyes were so sympathetic, he didn't interupt either... He simply, listened! I was shocked! I still am actually...
So after we chatted a bit and he wrote more info down he said "You've been trying for 6 yrs then? ". We relied with a "yes". He turned slowly towards his funky computer and printed some pages off, turned around and said something like.. "Here at the SOFT clinic we like to keep things moving, and once we start something we don't hesitate. This is what we're going to do... and he started going through the paper work FOR AN IUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remained calm though as his eyes twinkled and he smiled slightly in a whimsical way, I think he knew the joy he brought us when as he explained our next steps... I think this guy actually 'got it'. We were people today, a loving couple wanting to get pregnant, trying for 6 long, sad, stressful years. OMG, sometimes miracles do happen! We actually found a Dr willing to help us. I mean, he told me to get a blood test done (to check for pregnancy, as I told him about the pregnancy tests from last week) before we left the office today, they'll call tomorrow with the results. He wrote the scripts for provera if I'm not pregnant, he said he didn't want me to have to wait for my period if the test was negative. He gave me a script for PORVERA to help me ovulate, and a requisit for my cd3 blood test. I have all the instructions for the IUI and we start right away!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY! I'M SO FRIGIN EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT!
It took me two hours to calm myself down long enough to call my mother, and even then I was balling my eyes out! So it was fun to tell my story to my family, some cried and some were stunned to silence about our next step! I keep looking at the scrpits and requisit and info package and I can't believe it... finally after 6 YEARS!! WE FINALLY GET OUR IUI!
David, my sweetheart takes everything so calmly, here's me a freakin basket case, and he's very happy, yet I think stunned in disblief... so calm!
So ladies who have been thru an IUI... I'll be reading your blogs and doing my research happily over the next few evenings. I am nervous, but VERY excited for our next step to becoming parents!!! YAY US!!

Many HuGs!
