Everyone Screens Their Calls, I Guess.

So... I have to see a special doctor this month. I had to see them last month too. But I am having some problems getting everything in order for the appointments this month.

Prior to seeing the doctor, I have to take a special medication. It's a medication loaded with hormones, and makes me break out as a result. I also turn into a bit of a raging bitch while on it.

However, the medication isn't my problem. My problem is I am having a hard time getting a hold of anyone in my doctor's office. I tried repeatedly on Friday and have tried all this morning. No one is picking up or returning phone calls. WTF?

I need to confirm the days I will be seeing my doctor this month. And, I need to get a refill on my prescription, which I am supposed to start taking tomorrow.

My doctor told me when she wrote the prescription out for me last time that there would be three automatic re-fills associated with it. Well, there aren't. I need her authorization for it. And no one is eff-ing calling me back!

Argh!!!

Funny thing is, I don't even need the medication. It's just a standard part of the freaking procedure. The doctor gives it to everyone. Looks like I will not be taking it this month. Normally, I am one of those anal retentive people that follows doctors' instructions to the "T." But this time around, I don't think I'm gonna.

I don't want to be a raging bitch again. And I don't want to deal with the break outs that I am having now as a result of taking the pill last month.

UPDATE:
I called the office again this afternoon. And double-teamed them... I called from my desk phone and my cell phone at the same time. I was on hold for about 15 minutes before someone picked up again. I confirmed my appointments for this month. Still waiting for the nurse to get back to me regarding my prescription refill though.

Moxie,
Ask your dermatologist for a topical called Differin. It's pretty good at keeping breakouts at bay.

Dermatologist? I don't know about you, buy my health plan is an HMO. I had a helluva time getting the appointment with the fertility specialist. I would hate to see how difficult it is to get in with a derm doctor.

Plus, if I just don't take the pills, I won't break out.

Good luck! I hope you appointments aren't for anything too serious.

LOL!

Nope. Nothing too serious. Just fertility stuff. Getting pregnant is hard! Especially when there's nothing wrong with you or you partner that the doctor's can diagnose.
