I have PCOS and I took 2.5mg of letrozole on CD3-7 and didn’t respond. Doctor had me take 5mg letrozole CD10-14. Does it look like I’m not responding again? 😟 This is my first cycle with Inito. I have no idea what’s going on. I responded to 2.5mg on my previous two cycles so I don’t know why I suddenly stopped..
Today was first follicle scan after my third round of letrozole. The doctor was doing my scan and asked if I’d been tracking ovulation at home and at first I said no then I remembered I’ve been using my new Inito hormone monitor. I fumbled the explanation a little because I was nervous. He got impatient and the conversation got tangled and he said, “So how can you be tracking and not be tracking?”
So I apologized and said I just got confused and he goes,“It’s okay. We don’t trust our patients anyway.” I don’t know if he meant it as a joke. Nothing in the room told me, but it was just silent and awkward. He then told me the letrozole didn’t work this time I need to up my dose for 5 more days and come back in a week and walked out.
I got dressed and went to the nurses station to check out and immediately started bawling. The nurse was so gracious and kind, pulled me into a side room, and gave me a long hug. She apologized profusely and said it was uncalled for and even went as far to call him a misogynistic doctor and said he has a big ego.
Safe to say, I’m switching doctors. I do have a fear now that I’ll run into the doctor again or the other doctors at the clinic will see me as a “problem” now. Did I overreact? Should I switch clinics in general?
My husband is getting out later this year and I am really struggling with it. Of course I want him to be happy and I know how hard the military has been on him mentally. I’m so excited that he will actually be able to be home permanently, but this is also not easy at all.
I feel frustrated and that he is getting out with no real plan. He doesn’t have an idea of what kind of jobs he wants. I feel like he has the idea that because he’s an officer and has Naval Academy connections, something is just going to fall into his lap. I feel like he’s a little ignorant to the actual civilian job market right now. I told him to find a mentor or hire someone to write his resume, but he doesn’t do it and then submits his resume to jobs just for them to get immediately kicked back by the automatic system. It’s so frustrating watching him.
I feel resentful that I am going to have to be the provider in this transition because I worked hard to get a degree and a high paying remote job (which I also hate and work 50-60+ hours a week). I don’t have the luxury to give up my high income like he’s doing right now. Now I have to be sole provider, make sure we have health insurance, leave all of my friends and family to move to his hometown, etc. all while I’m going through infertility treatments. Like we really want to start a family but now he’s quitting his stable job that provides us everything?!
I feel so frustrated, but I also feel like I am being so selfish because I know being in the military is a huge sacrifice. I’m sorry for the rant but I don’t know who else to talk to about this. I love my husband very much but this is one of the hardest times we have been through.
