I’m too sore to move (see below) and have just sat down at the computer (at home) for the first time in a week! Thanks for all of the nice comments and emails responding to my last post. I know it is ICLW week and so traffic might be light here this week – coupled with some slow blogging, I don’t blame you!
I’ve been on the road this week with a new client – in Pittsburgh. A busy, but interesting few days of meetings and then an early flight back yesterday. I got home in time to catch a martial arts fitness class at my gym – which is normally not feasible for me because I work in Manhattan. It was TOUGH and I was sore most of last night. This morning I joined a group from work for a volunteer day at a local park and raked for five hours preparing mulching around the park’s perimeter. I will NOT be able to move tomorrow, but it feels great to use so many of my body’s forgotten muscles.
After our WTF appointment, which provided exactly no new or useful information, we got busy making appointments with other doctors. We have a diagnostic consult at RMA mid-May and an appointment with Dr. Exclusive (not using his real name here – unless we go that route) the first week in June. We’ve requested our records and filled out mounds of pre-patient paperwork. The rub is that no one seems to take our new insurance – which stinks because I think we have a new ‘lifetime’ limit for ART. This time ’round will be more of a financial discussion than last time.
For those that are interested, the final straw with our CRMI RE was his recommendation for a second opinion. While I appreciate that he was open to our getting a second opinion, the person he recommended (at NYU) hasn’t seen patients for TWO YEARS!! Jeez Dr. – are you really that out of touch with your professional circle? If it had been a few months, okay, but two years! Give me a break.
So this month, we are letting acupuncture, exercise, TCM herbs (to lengthen my luteal phase) and good old-fashioned sex take the lead. Maybe a miracle will happen…
I love feeling sore- well not sore, but the feeling like I’ve used my muscles. Good for you!
I can’t believe your doc referred you to someone no longer practicing. Scary. Makes you wonder if you could have better luck with a different doc at the same clinic…just a thought. Have fun with the old fashioned TTC! 😉
Have you tried “Physique 57” yet?? It’s a killer!!
I have been with RMA for awhile now and keep going back to them because I really like and trust my Dr. The only problem I have them is that they don’t always think outside of the box. I went to another Dr in the city that does immune and implantation testing and got some good info back. I am hoping I can see two Drs at once for my next cycle…hmmm?
Anyways, wishing you all the very best with your consultation and if you have any questions or want to discuss your appt further, feel free to email me anytime.
Now, rest those muscles!!
Ahh, good old work out soreness! It feels good in a sick sorta way 🙂
Hoping your consultations go well.
