My new OB

*I'm lazy. I posted this same thing on the bump and just copy and pasted it here*

I love my new Dr. She was so nice and really talked me off the cliff I've been on for 8 weeks now.
First and foremost, she said that as of right now she will not test me for anything. She read through all 100 pages of my records (I know this because she knew all my dates, my beta levels, the day of my D&C, when I had tested on an HPT, everything! I was shocked!) and said that after looking at it she said that she thinks we've had two really bad luck cases and that we got pregnant way to fast the second time. (Mind you, quack shack Dr. told us it would be okay)

I asked her if she thought the perigestational hemorrhage and extra sac of fluid had anything to do with the second m/c and she said that she absolutely thought that is what caused it.
She said that she doesn't believe in checking betas and doing early u/s's because at the end of the day they don't help and they just add extra stress. Her example was my last pregnancy where I had all of that done and it still didn't work and just caused extra anxiety. I think I will be okay with this next time around.

She said that if I have a normal cycle in June and July then I can try again in August. She also thought my period should show in 2-3 weeks. (I agree since I have all the signs of O time right now)

She did an exam and said that everything looks just fine. Yea! I wasn't botched by Dr. Quack Shack.

Overall I'm a little disappointed that she didn't want to do anything testing but it was sooo nice to hear someone say "I really honestly don't believe that there is anything wrong with you." It was a huge relief.

I do however, still have the script to do the RPL testing from Dr. Quack Shack, which I will go do on CD 24 of my next cycle. That way, I can know if there IS something wrong or not or if the new Dr. is right.

The main thing she told me was to relax. She said I have to stop testing at 10DPO and just test when AF is due, call her office if it's positive, and they will see me four weeks after that. She did say though that if something does start to go wrong then to call her asap and she will do everything in her power to test me and check me out so she can to help me.

So, from now until August, we will be playing it safe. When all of my new supplies arrive, I'm going to give them to DH and let him hide them. I'll have him give me 10 OPK's for each month, just so I can make sure I'm ovulating, and hide the rest.

I'm really hopeful that the next time around, things will be much better!

  1. Soooo happy you've found a Doc that you feel good about! The fact that she was all read up on your history before the appointment says a lot!

  2. I am so glad that you switched to a doc that you like! That is awesome! Your appointment sounds like the same thing I was told today. We were given the go ahead to try in August too...if everything is "normal" between now and then.
