6w1d

So bleeding and spotting stopped yesterday before bed and so far so good, but I am not holding my breathe since this same thing happened on Tuesday and then I started bleeding again at noon.

I have a big housecall to do tomorrow so I really hope the blood stays away since I can't not do the job since it will bring in as much as $400 for a couple of hours of work.

I tried calling my ob's office today to make an appt for next Friday or the following Tuesday.  I told the receptionist I was 6 weeks pregnant from ivf and I am high risk and have a hematoma and should hopefully be discharged from the RE next Thursday.  She then asked if I would like to go to the Bridgewater or Raynham office.  I said it didn't matter, which ever I could get in soonest.

She then gives me a date of August 24.  WHAT!  Didn't see just hear me I am high risk and have a SCH I need to be seen weekly and sent to a peri by 11 weeks.  I can't wait 4 weeks to just see an ob.  I tell her this and then she tells me she can't schedule me until I get the discharge papers from the RE saying I need to be seen more often and I am high risk and that the doctor is going to be away for a few weeks and she can't send me to the peri until she sees me first.  Okay does anyone else see a problem with this?

How am I suppose to get my discharge papers next Thursday, sent them to the ob in time before she goes on vacation, be seen so I can be sent to the peri by 11 weeks.  So now I don't know what to do.  I am going to have to have a talk with my RE next Thursday and see if she can write me a note that I can take to the ob right away to get in or be sent straight to a peri so I can be seen within a week of discharge.  I can't wait and since I am bleeding and had a previous m/c at 8 weeks as well as a failing placenta at 11 weeks I need to be seen right away and I don't care how far I have to travel.  Don't really want to have to go to the ER every week to have a scan since a doctor won't see me.

I really hope this matter gets straightened out, but I guess for now there is nothing I can do about it but just wait until next Thursday.  Speaking of next Thursday I was getting a bit worried about going to Boston afterwards for my oath ceremony, but I can't change the date nor do I want to because I could get a worst date and time.  I asked MIL if she still had her mother's wheel chair and she does so I am happy.  So I am going to borrow it next week so I won't have to worry about walking around Boston and causing a larger bleed.  Now I just hope I can actually fit into the chair because it is a very narrow wheelchair and I have wide hips.
