To be or not to be that is the question.
Yesterday was my long awaited appointment with the OB/GYN. It's always makes for a fun, end of the workday to go get violated by the doctor. This is my 3rd doctor in the past 4 years. Why? Because all the other doctors are dumb and don't listen to me.
My first doctor basically told me that if I got off birth control I should be pregnent within a few months. Well after a year nada, nothing, zip. So I went back and he said well maybe your stressed. Umm nope not really. He just basicially said try some more.
So I switched to a female doctor. I'm sure she'd understand what I'm going through. Well she might if I ever saw her! I went to her office numerous times and never met the lady! I met her nurse practicioner but not the doctor. After taking the same tests time and time again I gave up with them. They weren't helping the cause and again didn't take me serious. I think my problem was (a)I look young for my age so most people think I have plenty of time to start a family, but I want kids now! or (b) I'm not very demanding, I bitch and moan but never to them.
So after finally getting insurance I went to a new doctor. He talked to me in his office. Listened to what I told him. Agreed that what I thought was wrong with me was what probably is wrong with me. And is starting me on Chlomid as soon as my next cycle begins. Which with the help of some other drugs will be as soon as 10 -15 days.
I'm excited and nervious at the same time. I know quite a few people (my mom included) that has been put on Chlomid and gotten pregent with twins. My doctor has said that with Chlomid there is a high chance of having a multiple birth; mostly twins. Some Triplets. And in some cases Quadruplets. Umm I think we can handle twins. Triplets would really be hard and we'd be done with one pregnency. But quads? Umm yeah pass.
So the next few weeks will be to see if the Chlomid will help me ovulate. If not then the problem is a bit more serious and would lead to possible surgery. So I'm really crossing my fingers and toes that this works. If anything just to help me "get regular".

What an exciting journey this will be to follow - seriously!!!
I have so many "female" problems.. I could write a book. I'm glad you've found a doctor you like, I think that's the first step.
The Just Me Sextuplets!!
Good luck with everything! I changed my gyno because I only ever saw the nurse practitioner too. I hated it! Why should I pay doctor's fees to never see one? Ridiculous if you ask me. Keep us updated on how things are going. I hear Chlomid can make some people kinda sick ... good luck!
holy crap, J!! Where the hell have I been?? Oh, yeah...working.
Good for you for making things happen this time!
GOOD LUCK! So exciting and scary! You are very brave.
To have to deal with not getting pregnant would be stressful enough with good doctors who listened. I am so glad that you finally have a doctor who seems to not be a fat-head.
We are so having a JM's getting knocked up party! Oh yea, your invited! Mandi is in charge of the music selections.
ooooops that's "you're" invited, gotta love typos
Fingers and toes crossed! How exciting!!
