You have to love the infertility specialists who say, “I am trying to get you pregnant!” That phrase is as disgusting as they come from anyone other than my husband!
Ugh, that really is disgusting. My sister’s friend’s mother is an “infertility psychologist” who works at a clinic and really wanted me to come to her office and “explore” my hesitancy to “embrace” in-vitro. I was like, ummmm I’m not confused about why I don’t want to do in-vitro but thanks anyway.
If you go to
www.fertilitycare.org, you can look up registered specialists who are trained in napro technology. It doesn’t appear that anyone practices in MS, but there are practitioners closer than Nebraska. (Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas). You could also call the institute and ask if there are any updates to the list and/or reccommendations for military personnel. I’m sure you aren’t the first military mother to request the expertise of Dr. Hilgers.
I would definitely encourage you to work with him or someone else who is trained, even long distance, because they will be instrumental in helping you get the right tests done and therefore the correct diagnosis. My non-trained doctors thought I was crazy when first requesting certain hormone tests and insisting they be done at various times in the month. When they finally gave in, it was like…oh, I guess this DOES indicate you have this, this and this. It took, I think, almost a year of ME knowing what I had until the diagnosis finally happened with slow-moving doctors.
I’ll pray things go well for you.
You might also check out a book by Dr. Hilgers called “Women Healed.” I read that while waiting and waiting and waiting on doctors to get moving on what was wrong with me. It was very inspiring and once I started working with a trained doctor, I felt much more hopeful. And I got pregnant.
