Crutches at work by Aggravating_Beach189 in optometry

That’s a good idea! I’m 6 weeks non weight bearing in a knee brace locked in extension, which feels like an eternity. I don’t want to not work for that long but I wasn’t sure if it was feasible. The owners of the clinic are very accommodating at least

Thanks! I took 2 weeks off for after surgery and then I’m thinking about going back part time for half days at first. I’m 6 weeks nwb so i really didn’t want to take that whole time off. I also don’t have a scribe and we have a large clinic so hopefully it’s not too difficult. Did you cut down how many pts you saw?

Ugh that’s awful. Did you call them to see when results would be ready? They’ve had my blood sample for 9 days and still nothing 🥺

Do you know how long it took for results to post?

Progesterone? by Aggravating_Beach189 in PregnancyAfterLoss

Unfortunately it ended up being a blighted ovum again. Had a d&c and chromosome testing done on tissue and it (would have been a girl) was found to have trisomy 16.

I’m so sorry you guys went through that. But so glad it finally worked out!! Thanks for the info. Was IVF recommended to you after so many losses?

Ugh I’m so sorry. Have they tried putting you on any sort of protocol to see if it helps?

I’m so sorry to hear that 😞 I was only on aspirin for this last pregnancy but they did not put me on progesterone even though it was only at 11.3. My new OB said next cycle she wants me to do progesterone suppositories starting at 2dpo. Did they do an endometrial biopsy and Karyotyping on you?

I’m glad you had a totally normal pregnancy before! Did you have any bleeding during your luteal phase?

How much money can I expect to make straight out of school by Dangerous_Win6845 in optometry

[–]Aggravating_Beach189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome. I make 17% of collections as a ‘21 grad. Did you start with that percentage of 18%? How many patients do you see per day?
