I'm not a big fan of my OBGYN. He has always seemed kinda shady to me and I could never put my finger on the reason why. Well he recommended a different RE specialist for us to see and after a lot of research I went with the one with the better stats and more well known. Apparently he didn't care to much for that. He almost refused to do the procedure. Really??!!?? He kept asking questions about the Dr. I went to and why he was needing the biopsy done and why he didn't agree. He also asked me if I was sure I agreed with this doctor and his protocol he was doing. WHAT?!? You never ask a patient that!!!! I was thinking, why do you care so much? I think a reproductive endocrinologist would know a little more about this than him! I sat there liswtening to him for about a half hour going on and on about how he would have done it. Then he sprung it on me, "are you sure you don't want to do one more IUI? I'm pretty confident I will get you pregnant." AHHHHHH, so that's why he is mad! He wants me to waist more money with him. What an ass! Anyway, I told him I was sure that I liked the doctor I was seeing and that I trusted him to make the right decisions on my behalf. Sheesh!
The biopsy itself was very uncomfortable. I don't want to go into to much detail so lets just say..... it involves a metal tube going inside your uterus and scraping inside for about 15 seconds. This is done not one but TWO times!! The longest 15 seconds EVER!! I took some ibuprofen before hand but it didn't help much and if it did then I can't imagine what it would have felt like without it.

After being violated there I went to the lab to get tortured some more. I told the nurse ahead of time I was a hard stick and I also told her where they usually go, just to help her out. She didn't listen though. She thought for sure she was better than all the rest. She stuck me 3 times before getting the vein in my hand. She took like 10 vials of blood. Not a good day for my uterus, arms or hand. :(
On the weight loss front. NOTHING! I don't know why. I have been going to the gym and I cut my calorie intake down to 1200 a day. Not really eating many carbs either. I guess only time will tell. I'm going to keep going and hope for the best!
The nurse that took my blood!
