Mid-May 2013: Referred back to my GP

As explained in my last post, my nurse practitioner (who was with my gynecology/midwife office) told me to go to my general practitioner (GP) for any followup. This was very frustrating, since:

•  Wanted another bloodtest, but would have to wait a while, since my period could be 40+ days and then it had to be done on day 21 of the next cycle (so it could be as long as two months until the next blood test!)
• My GP wasn't really a specialist either-- why wasn't I being referred to someone who would be able to help me? 
• We were now entering the sixth month of trying,
• Based upon the symptoms in previous months, this was a wasted month, since even if I had a cycle and had a period, the symptoms were pointing to me not ovulating.
• Everyone kept telling me "DON'T worry about it!" Me worrying or not worrying was not the cause of my body refusing to ovulate. It wasn't like my body perfectly was working and my stress was causing me not to get pregnant!

So, I waited. Luckily, the next cycle was only a 34 day cycle, so I only had to wait until mid-June. My GP was ok too and didn't require me to come into the office for a workup in order to approve the test. She also retested my thyroid too, just to make sure. 

I decided it was ok to be referred back to the GP, since at least she didn't charge for an appointment, which might not have been covered by my insurance (which may have interpreted the appointment as unnecessary).
