My coordinator emailed me back the day after my last appointment to say that she had faxed my records to my OB's office, and that my OB had called, but the RE wasn't in that day. She said she would tell the RE to call him back.
So, I went to my OB appointment today. It was at 3:15, which I knew meant a long wait. But, it was the only available appointment that day. I was finally called back at about 4. I then waited in that room for about 15 more minutes. My phone was almost dead for some reason, and I had finished my magazine, so I was so bored. When the Dr finally came in, he showed me the records he had gotten. There was nothing for the sonohystogram in there. He also said that the RE had never called him back. He had looked at the CD from the HSG, but didn't see what was wrong with it at all. He said it looked perfect to him.
He knew I was upset, and tried very hard to explain to me why he wasn't comfortable doing the surgery. I told him I understood, that he was concerned about me, his patient, and not about theoretical babies. I know he felt bad for me, but he couldn't in good conscience do a surgery that he thought was completely unnecessary. He said that if the RE will call him back and tell him why I need it, he'll do it. But, until then, he won't. I don't blame him. I'm just so mad at the RE for not calling him back. I wasted hours of my day for no reason whatsoever.
I'm so stressed out right now, and I know the guys are, too. I now have less than a week until I expect my period, and most of that is Thanksgiving weekend. I'm really worried about how things will be if I can't get this scheduled for December. Or worse, if he's not convinced by the RE's explanation, and I have to find somebody else to do it.
