I called my fertility Doctor's office on Monday, to let them know i still had not gotten my Period (which is nothing new for me they usually have to give me Provera(Medroxyprogesterone)This medication has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months (amenorrhea).
So Monday i had to leave a message with his nurse to tell her I needed my medicine to start my period.... It wasn't but about 20 minutes and she called back and said they had to wait for the Doctor because he can only prescribe that. In the meantime i was praying i didn't have to go to Brandon because with like anyplace they have to do a pregnancy test just to verify your not pregnant before they can prescribe the provera. So Tuesday afternoon the nurse called me back again and said the doctor said if I can just take a home pregnancy test Wednesday morning and call them with my results they will prescribe it... which was a relief to me because i would not have to make the 3 hour round trip to his office. So this morning I got up took the test and of coarse as figured (due to lack of ovulation) it was negative. So I went ahead and did a few things around the house and before i could call them my phone rang and it was his nurse asking if i took the test i said yes, i was getting ready to call you... She said OK i will call it in right now. So here it is the whole moral to the story.... A) I know I'm not pregnant B) I just saved about $30 dollars in gas it would have took to travel. C) They did not have to do the test so I saved about $15 it would have cost me. and last but not least D) I have a great doctors office that truly cares for continuing to return my calls and following up with me.
