So, get this BS. H has tried to get 2 different primary care docs here to refer him for a vasectomy and neither will do it for religious reasons! I am so.... just... there are no words for how angry and just flummoxed I am. Like we have legit reasons for getting it done but they are reluctant to refer him for one! Woww, that’s too bad! Like because of the dr’s personal views or because the healthcare group is religious and no one can do it?

sarcaztic10, that's bananas. Maybe post on a local parents site and see which doctors in the area will refer?

My 3 year old is for sure my kid. I told him we were going to a baseball game tonight and the first thing he says is "DO WE GET TO EAT THERE?!"

It's my day off from watching my nieces and nephew and my kids are not on board with chilling all day.
I also switched to a midwife group and my first appointment is on the 20th. I'm really nervous and hoping this works out.

If my almost 3 year old could just give me some personal space.. that would be great. I am feeling overtouched and anxious.
Hopefully I can find a toy he hasn’t seen in awhile to distract him.

Can't decide between shocked and appalled. Not to mention, it JUST MAKES NO SENSE. Ten to one they aren't morally against everything but unprotected sex forever, so...?

No, this last guy actually told H I should go to my OB and get my tubes tied instead. Said he couldn’t refer him for religious reasons but that I should go have major surgery so he can have a clear conscience knowing he didn’t refer someone for a permanent form of birth control! Obviously the Dr didn’t say that last bit but that’s the impression H got.

sarcaztic10, fuck that last guy. That’s so sexist and beyond ridiculous. I’m really sorry that it’s been so hard for you guys to schedule something so routine. I hope you can find someone soon.

Amazon's website may be a shit show right now, but for the people looking at getting bottles, I was able to order Avnet Natural giftsets with 5 bottles each for $50.

It’s been 16 days since I completed the Stepwise Part 2 blood work. Still no results. Left a message for the fetal medicine folks today and filed a request for results through Quest. Still nothing. My anxiety is not amused.

Update: Maternal Fetal Medicine called. My blood work from June 30 is missing in action. They’re trying to contact Quest and figure out where it is.
*deep, cleansing breaths*

They’re trying to contact Quest and figure out where it is. *deep, cleansing breaths* I'm sorry, that's infuriating! A girl on my first BMB just had this happen to her not once, but twice. The good news is she eventually found out she's having a healthy girl, but the waiting (understandably) drove her crazy! I hope they're able to find it, or at least expedite the results if they have to do a re-draw for you!

I’m sorry quijibo. I hope you get the results ASAP. I got not great news today at the doctor and I’m really not processing well. I’m just hoping the best case scenario plays out to get my sweet boy to 34 weeks. Such a hard pill to swallow and just holding my breath for viability day.

Maternal Fetal Medicine found my blood work. Thank goodness. Quest coded something weird and it blocked everyone from seeing it. ANYWHO. The doctor didn’t get a chance to review the results, but the nurse quickly said that nothing crazy stood out to her. Negative for neural tube defects, normal hormone levels, etc.
I think I’ll avoid reading the results in My Chart until after the A/S next week. I’m told some people have found the sex in those results and I don’t want to accidentally see. I want to experience the news with H!

I am also on the stuffing my face boat. I just want to eat everything, especially bad things. I'm trying to eat more protein to stave off the feeling that I'm going to eat my own arm off, but it's only helping a little. I really should not be allowed to shop while hungry, my husband always goes "you spent how much??"
