Gloomy Day – Update

So I left a message earlier today for my Dr. to call me and discuss the “next steps.”  After 7 hours of waiting for a call back, I decided to check back in and see if my Dr. got my message – the recepetionist and I had a conversation that went like this:

Receptionist:  Oh, yes, about that…  The Dr. will be out of the country for the next couple weeks, so you’ll have to come in and see her when she gets back.

Me: Is anyone was covering for her patients while she is out?

Receptionist: Yes, but only for emergencies.

Me (in my head): But this is an emergency.  I haven’t been able to get pregnant… I have fertility issues and today is day 1 of my cycle.  I don’t want to waste another cycle just because this Dr. decided to pack up and ship off to another country without telling me (yes, the world revolves around me).

Me (actually).  Ok.

Receptionist: How’s August 21st for you?

Me: Is that the first appt available?

Receptionist: Yes.

Ummmm… correct me if I’m wrong or missed a time warp, but isn’t today July 14th?  How is August 21st a “couple weeks.”  Not to mention that if my mathis correct (and AF comes as predicted in August), that will be CD 10 of my next cycle… so really I’m looking forward to another 2 cycles of anxiety, worries and holding my breath.

I guess when it rains, it pours!

On that note, I’ve decided to relax with an at-home facial tonight (and maybe if I’m luck, I’ll get a back rub too!)  Since deciding to start a family, I’ve had to stop all medication for my acne.  Needless to say, the stress of notbeing able to conceive has caused quite a few breakouts.  If anyone has any recommendations on skin clearing products (safe to use when trying to conceive and/or when pregnant), feel free to pass them along!
