It has been an incredible
summer! We celebrated Carol’s 80th birthday (kind of Spring) and all
the family came in. Except Chris. It was a great time. We then did our annual
Florida trip over the 4th of July. This year we did a small family
trip and headed to St.George Island. It was our little family of Matt, Aspen and I and we took Ethan, Casey and Michael. It was a
great time. Very relaxing and we fell in love with St.Geroge.
I’m ready to see what our
next steps are for our baby. Its been one disappointing month after another. I
head to Dr.Flemming’s Milford office for our next steps. Matt is not able to go
with me, which I hate, but oh well. I’m super nervous, because I really don’t
know what is going to happen next or what we are going to do. So far, I really
thought that these procedures would resolve our issue. The nurse who takes my
blood pressure and vitals is super sweet. She tells me ‘good luck’ before I go
in the exam room. Dr.Flemming comes in and does a quick exam. Everything is
where it should be. He then basically tells me that this is the end of the line
with him. I’m devastated. Really. I was not expecting this and boy, my emotions
were haywire. He then talks about my fibroid. While its there, he is unable to
confirm if it is causing an issue or not. He tells me that it may need to be
removed. It is serious, but I need to move on to a fertility specialist. I’m a
mess. He wishes me well and gives me a hug. I think this is great. I really
want this and don’t want another road block. After I calm down, get my self
together and come out, he gives me a card to the Institute of Reproductive
Health.
Immediately after I climb
into my escalade, I call IRH. I remember not being able to get through right
away, so I keep calling. Finally I get to leave a message. I explain my situation
and hope that they can get me in right away. I’m not sure how difficult it is
to get into a fertility clinic, but I need in NOW. Time is ticking by.
A few hours later, I do get
a call back and they have an opening later that week. Perfect, I will take it.
This is great. They will send me the paper work and we are on our way. My
doctor will be Thomas Burwinkel. I remember thinking that is such a funny name,
but it felt that he was supposed to be my new doctor. I’m nervous and excited
for this next step in our journey.
