Decisions

Sometimes I get so worked up about all of this IVF stuff that I don't even want to think about it or talk about it. Like it will go away or something. I am still racking my brain on what to do about this cyst. My u/s and labs are suppose to be tomorrow morning and I want to cancel it so bad but I feel so bad cancelling it because I took up someones appointment time. I have been going to a new office where my old RE transferred to so I don't want to piss them off. They have been so nice. I know the cyst is there.  I don't really want to pay for another u/s and labs. The even crappier part is they can't find out if it's covered by insurance until tomorrow's results. I know it's probably covered but since it has to do with infertility stuff it's probably not. My local OBGYN said they couldn't drain it until it was 8cm. Right now it's 3cm. I did email my nurse Friday and told her about all of this and all she said is Dr. G recommends getting it drained. I told her that it wasn't going to be easy and she suggested I come to Colorado to do it. Easier said then done. I constantly feel like I am fighting with myself. I think listen to the Dr. it's what he recommends. Then I think, HELLO, they are a business too and they just want my money. I know CCRM wants to get me in before the break and I would love that too, but at what costs? Draining a simple cyst just to squeeze me in? I guess I will have to decide here sometime before tomorrow. I may go to the appointment and just try to talk to my doctor. I will do my best to make the right decision.

  1. That's a tough decision. I know CCRM is a business, but I truly believe that the docs have your best interest at heart and recommend what they truly feel is best for you. Good luck with your decision!

  2. I agree with Jen. I've heard lots of stories from other CCRM patients of CCRM doc's recommending against certain procedures if they don't think patients need it. In my case, they recommended against CCS even though we were considering it and they would have been paid OOP for it (since insurance doesn't cover it). I did it anyway despite them encouraging me not to. But that's just one example of them recommending AGAINST something that would make them money. So I'd trust they want you to go out there because it's in your best interest not for the $$.

  3. When there are so many things pulling at you, it's hard to listen to the signs and vibes that are alway there to guide you. Listen to what it really is you need. Don't put anyone ahead of you right now, least of all strangers at the u/s clinic. Would going to Denver be more or less expensive than getting it drained at home. And why the heck do they not have you on something that suppresses you enough!

  4. How did everything go at the appointment? If you decided to drain, I hope it went well.
