For ease of writing I've decided to give my Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) a name. Henceforth, I'm calling him Dr. House after t.v.'s Dr. Gregory House. If you've watched the t.v. show House you know that Dr. House's bedside manner occasionally leaves something to be desired.
My RE can also be a little rough around the edges sometimes. I think my RE is an excellent doctor and some days he's very personable, but other days he can be a little blunt and it's on those days that he reminds of t.v.'s Dr. House. Just to be clear, he's nothing like the t.v. Dr. House who is rude and sarcastic - for the most part my RE is a very nice guy, but some days he can be very straightforward.
And I appreciate his straightforward manner. I'm a tell-it-to-me-like-it-is kinda gal. I would hate a cheerleadery (I don't care if that's not a real word) type doctor who told me every cycle was going to be the cycle where I get pregnant. I believe in positivity, but I don't need someone giving me false hope or a pep talk every time I see him/her.
So Dr. House it is.
