| - After 3 weeks of pregnancy symptoms and negatives on tests, I was at my wit's end on whether or not I was pregnant. An online forum recommended 3D ultrasound places, as sometimes they will do a pregnancy confirmation for cheap. So I looked in Oakville and found Tiny Hearts. No information online about whether they did the service, so I figured I'd call.
I called and the girl answered, "Tiny Hearts" in an annoyed voice. I asked her if they did any sort of pregnancy confirmations. To my complete shock and humiliation, she and another woman started LAUGHING at me. She replied in a snotty voice, "No, we're not a diagnostic centre, we're a 3D ULTRASOUND centre." At this point, I felt like a complete idiot.
I said, "You don't have a service where you listen for a heartbeat?" She paused, sighed loudly and replied, annoyed, "How many weeks are you?" I stated that I was 5 weeks. Still in the same "you're so stupid" tone of voice, she said, "We don't even do heartbeats until 7 weeks. OK?" I said OK and she hung up.
I've been dealing with infertility for five years now. This is the first time I've ever had something even remotely close to pregnancy symptoms, so you can imagine that I want to know for sure if there is any chance whatsoever that this pregnancy is real, that it's THERE and not just my imagination. To be treated like I was a moron for simply calling and asking if they provided this service...I was so crushed as I sat my phone down, I felt my eyes fill with tears.
If I ever do get lucky enough to become pregnant, I won't have anything to with Tiny Hearts, and I don't recommend you do either. There are plenty of other 3D ultrasound businesses in the area that don't treat customers like the scum of the Earth. I'd check those ones out instead.
