I can’t believe how hard it is to find what you need here where we live. There are two RE’s in our area but they work in a private clinic that only deals with Married Hetero couples. WTF is that about!? The closest one I can find is in either Tampa or Jax beach – both are too long a drive for me. Especially when we have two near by that just won’t see us because we are gay. I have heard of doctors refusing services but never actually experienced it first hand – What an F’in bummer.
I shouldn’t really be surprised though - Florida is known for is absolute discrimination against gays. It’s just tough seeing it first hand ya know. So I don’t know what we are going to do about an RE. Our GYN has not mentioned a specialist and is ok with doing our IUI’s right now but what happens when or if he does? I can tell you – we will be packin’ our asses in the car and on a three hour tour to the RE’s office in one of the two directions.
I went for blood work on Friday – the one I have been neglecting because well….who wants to know something’s wrong- I’d rather not. Now that is done though it’s like I do and then I don’t – totally crazy and hate it. 4 months is a long time to be bleeding everyday – but it’s not the longest I have been that would be 7 months. Yes you read that right – my doc actually had to stop it with medication and I ended up in the hospital severely anemic. Now you ask yourself WHY did she wait that long? Fear. That’s why. I have had 3 cousins around my age get cancer. 2 have died. 1 had to have one ovary removed and part of her cervix.
I am trying to get my health issues under control now by changing my eating and exercise habits. We will see – meanwhile the search continues for a new doc. This is RE-diculous!
