Back to Womack

I called this morning to switch my insurance back over to Tricare Prime. Boo.

Although I didn't want to, financially, it was the best decision for us right now.
For those that don't know, I saw a doctor through an ARMY hospital for 1.5yrs. I had 4 miscarriages under his care. He was wretched...Seemed like he could care less about us or our situation. He said he preferred I have more than 3 miscarriages before he did ANY testing. I could go on & on about his incompetence, but long story short, I despised being under his care.
I told him that I suspected having PCOS, as some family members of mine have it & he said "Oh, no, you don't have PCOS. You don't have any symptoms of it, so no need to test for it".

Well, once I decided I had enough of him, I switched insurance to Tricare Standard, & although I had to pay out of pocket, I got to see any doctor of my choice.
So, Dylan & I chose one of the best Reproductive Endocrinologists in our state. He was 2 hours away, but well worth it!

On my first appointment with him, he did an ultrasound & BAM...Within seconds, he said, "Oh, you have PCOS". Did bloodwork to confirm.

I was shocked & sad, but relieved to FINALLY have an actual diagnosis, other than "unexplained infertility". An answer, finally.

Well, 6 months later, no pregnancy, no baby, nothing. Just TONS of medical bills with my name on them.

So, against what my heart wants, we have made the choice to switch back to Tricare Prime, where my care is free, or close to it, anyway.
I'm hoping now that my doctor knows it's been 2 yrs with 4 losses & I have PCOS, he will take me more seriously.
I'm not able to use my Tricare Prime until September 1st, but once I go back, we will do an IUI with injectables.
In the meantime, I am doing the natural method..I'm on Metformin, Cinnamon, Vitamin D, Geritol, Fish Oil, & Vitex.
Looking into acupuncture, as well.
So, hopefully, by Christmas, I can go home to visit family, sporting a baby bump <3
