In August 2011, we returned to Dr. B's office for our annual physicals…same routine, different doctor. As the appointment came to an end, Dr. B wrote a prescription to have my thyroid panel re-taken (pre-physical lab tests showed that it was slightly elevated once again) and at the bottom scribbled a barely legible “Dx: Infertility”. Awesome…an official infertility diagnosis. As I left the appointment, he recommended the name of a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist) he’s referred patients to previously and suggested I work with the front desk for the appropriate referral paperwork and contact information.
Later that afternoon, a quick search on our insurance company’s website proved to make our specialist choice very easy. The specialist recommended by Dr. B was nowhere to be found. There were only 2 practices in the entire metro area that were considered in-network and carried our insurance company’s care designation. Both practices had solid online patient recommendations, were similar distances from our home and were affiliated with major medical centers. It seemed as if we were comparing apples to apples so I did what any logical girl would do...some friends saw a specialist from one of the groups but didn’t have success so JPug and I were going to start our journey elsewhere…I called and made our first appointment.
