So had my hematology appointment on Monday. Pretty uneventful...which can't complain about that. Talked in depth to the Dr. about what's going on with me and why I was referred and she actually looked me in the eye and listened to what I was saying. You know, with doctors, it's pretty hit or miss. Some of them you feel like just a number and they "listen" to you and send you on your way, and then there's the doctors that actually listen and want all your details. Those are the kind I like :) I had mentioned that obviously, my PCP has my well-being as the main priority and my RE has future baby (well, and my) well-being as main priority, so since my blood work came back squirly, my PCP suggested I see someone who can take a look objectively and have both me and future baby in mind. As we were talking, she asked who my RE was and I told her, Dr. P. She looked at me and said, "What does Dr. P say about all of this? He is a VERY smart man and would give a lot of insight." Well...she's the THIRD doctor I've talked to that has basically said the exact same thing. Everyone talks about how smart Dr. P is. My, OB, my PCP, and now the hematologist. Not going to lie, that makes me feel quite secure! He's clearly well known. I mean, I knew he was smart...as he is completely socially awkward...but having everyone you see say the same thing is reassuring :) So, she decided she wanted to run some blood tests. Check me for lupus and other blood clotting disorders. She is apparently checking for a lot bc they took like 15 vials of blood. I go back in two weeks to discuss the results. She said she's not worried, based on what I've told her, so that's refreshing!
I see the rheumatologist tomorrow morning to talk about this lovely, autoimmue, baby eater, and make sure there's nothing else under there making this happen. Hopefully everything comes back negative and we are ready to start IVF right after Hawaii!
Also, again, yoga freaking rules. I'm seriously loving it. I can't get enough.
