Colleen,

Thanks!! We're so excited about the baby, I NEVER in a million years thought I'd get pregnant without fertility meds, but 4 months of Met and a little levothyroxin and WHAMMO, BIG surprise, Dr. M was thrilled for me and asked me to send a picture once the baby arrives.

I don't think you're crazy at all for making the drive, when I first went to his office, I drove the whole way over to Philly from here, which was almost a 4 hour drive for me. This was after spending years and years going to regular doctors who just told me "take some BCPs, you'll be fine". I had my current regular doctor (who was doing my physicals, etc) tell me that if I didn't want to take a BCP then there was nothing anyone could do (hello!!! I told her I wanted to try to get pregnant within a year, WTF good would a BCP do??). So I was willing to go pretty much ANYWHERE to get some real help. I took my mom with me and we were SO happy when we talked to him, it was like after years and years of being told I was nuts, someone FINALLY listened to me!! If he moves to California, I'll fly out to visit him

Also, a lot of the blood tests he orders right in the office and they do them before you leave. He wanted me to do an abdominal ultrasound for fatty liver when I got back home, and I just went to the scanning place up the street and gave them my referral, he had no problem getting the results. I did have some blood tests done at my regular doctor's office and they didn't send him the results like they were supposed to, he had to get on the phone and yell at people, it was awesome, hehehe. So if you do get tests done locally, it might be worth while to call them about a week afterwards to make sure they sent the results like they were supposed to. My office was getting a little passive aggressive because I went over their heads to a specialist without them referring me, but OH WELL! I asked them for a referral and they wouldn't give me one, thankfully I have Blue Shield and I didn't NEED a referral, so I referred myself.
