Were you listening AT ALL?

I have to gripe a little about constant inconsistency. I've never really been to the doctor for anything before the pregnancy; I think it's a hassle, takes too long and I'm never really that sick to do so.

But this is the second time I'm wondering if I speak another language when I call (I know I talk fast so this could be so...). Denise mentioned this happening to her so I'm pretty sure that it happens to everyone.

At 6 and a half weeks, there were about 4 days of excruciating pain- like someone was taking a fork and pressing it through my left ovary. I mean bad. So by the 5th day I call the Dr. office and speak to the receptionist:

Me: Hi, My name is blah, blah blah, I'm 6 and a 1/2 weeks pregnant and have an appointment in 2 weeks but
(and I explain everything)

Her: Uh huh.

Me: So do you think I should come in? Do you think it may be something besides "cramps"

Her: So you have your period now?

Me: Um, no. I'm pregnant, remember?

Her: Oh! Wait. I didn't know that. Hold on, I'm sure the Dr. is going to want you to come in.


See?

Luckily it was only a cyst that had "exploded", causing pain, but nothing serious.

Flash forward to yesterday. Two days of the same pain. Again. Should I call, should I bother them? Am I just being nutty? naaaaaahhhh, I take the safe approach and email.

She finally get back to me today (third day of pain). It goes like this:

Her: Hi I am returning your email.

Me: Oh thank you! So, blah, blah, blah (I reiterate the email, which explains everything, again)

Her: Ok, so when does your cycle start?

Me: Um. What?

Her: When is your next period starting, do you know?

Me: I DID say I was pregnant, right? The email said that, right?

Her: Oh! Wait! I had NOOO idea you were pregnant! Let me get the doctor!


Really?

So I guess it's ok but COME ON! Who's running the show at these joints!?!? I worked a front desk- ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!



That is all.
