So I got the call today to set up my consult for the acupuncture for fertility study I recently wrote about here. Right off the bat the "dr" questioned my committment to the study since I live/work in the suburbs. Did she not see my address on the six page questionnaire I had to complete? She didn't seem to have read any of it actually, as I would quickly learn. So that was a great start. I assured her that I would not have a problem driving into the city for the 2-3 weekly visits for the length of the study.
She asked me if I had done acu before. I said, yes since Dec. at PDtM.
She seemed surprised, so I told her that most of that time we weren't able to TTC due to my septum surgery in January. She said, "oh, you had nasal surgery?" What?! No, in my uterus...
Then she asked me if I temp. I explained that no I have sleep issues that make it unlikely for me to get accurate temps, so I use a fertility monitor instead (to measure the actual hormones rather the affect of the hormones). She said, "why do you have trouble sleeping, do you have kids?" I'm thinking no idiot, that's why I'm talking to you. So I'm going to start temping tomorrow....
Do I check my CM? Yes. Make sure you chart that too.
Have you O'd yet? No. Make sure you have intercourse two days before and two days after(?). That should be really effective. ;)
Our whole convo was just littered with gems of fail. This can only get more interesting...
