Work is just driving me nuts. So the last time I had to work on a warehouse opening was probably 4 months ago - I didn't have much to do then. Just some things here and there, but now that I have several locations to work on - they decided it was time to give me several research projects. It is definitely nice to be busy all the time (I HATE being bored), but I could've used these projects when I didn't have any openings to work on for several months.
Which leads me to my next frustration...
I really hate the state of Illinois right now. They made this new system to obtain a few of the licenses. This new system is supposed to make things "better" - from my viewpoint, it has only made things worse. I need to obtain this one license before I can obtain another license, and they won't give me the application paperwork b/c we didn't pay some tax several YEARS ago. Umm, I just opened another IL location 10 months ago, and there were no problems then!!! I don't get it! I have a feeling that they're new system is causing these problems.
Anyway, I hope this gets resolved soon b/c this location opens in a little over 2 months and I really do not like waiting until the last minute to get licenses. If we don't get this license in time, guess who's fault it will be? Yep, mine. Not anyone else.
And Medicare, could they be any more disorganized? The main place gets the paperwork but doesn't bother sending it to the regional carrier so a claim is denied. Then they tell me that they want me to send in new licenses every year to update the old ones. So what's the point of having re-enrollment every 3 years if you want me to do this? It makes no sense! Also, they deactivate registrations without telling you and you don't find out until you get a notice a claim was denied.
O.K. I just had to vent...everything will be o.k. ... I hope...
I met with the reproductive specialist today...
I showed up way too early thinking traffic would just suck, but it didn't. I go into the room a little later and talk to the nurse for a bit. Then the doctor came in, and we talked about some things - my temperature charts, what tests have been made, etc., then came the really fun part - another exam, an ultrasound, and some blood work! (I have to look away when they take my blood or I will pass out. Luckily, they didn't have to search all over the place for a vein to take the blood from like they've had to in the past with my teeny tiny veins. The guy that took the blood said I look like Janis Joplin - um, no!!!!)
After the exam and ultrasound, but before the blood work, I talked to the doctor some more. The stupid people from Swedish didn't send the HSG films f over to this doctor, so she wasn't going to speculate as to what could be causing the problem, but she did say that the ultrasound did show the my uterus is shaped abnormally though she didn't think that could be a big problem, but it is something that might need to be fixed.
She also mentioned that by looking at my charts that I might not be ovulating at all, which is why she suggested taking Clomid. She gave me a prescription for Clomid to take for the next 5 days, then next Thursday, she wants me to come in for another ultrasound to see if the drug is working at all. Then she wanted me to come in for another exam sometime in Day 1-5 of my next cycle if I don't end up getting pregnant.
I hope that this works. I'm trying to stay positive thought it is really difficult for me to do.
So I got a call from my doctor this morning. She had a chance to look over the results from the test I had last week. She is referring me to a specialist. She wants to get me tested to see if I possibly have endometriosis, and apparently the best way to see that is if I have a laparoscopy - which doesn't sound very pleasant at all - but at least with this test, they actually give you drugs. Of course, I'm not sure if they're going to do this at all, but we'll see. My appointment is on April 20.
