We tried for about a year and a half to have children before starting to seek out help. I researched some doctors and once we decided on one we made an appointment. My first appointment with this first doctor was actually because I had skipped a period and all the at home pregnancy tests were negative. When we got there, we went in and the Doctor did a pap and took some blood to test for STDs and other things. Not once did this doctor do a pregnancy test to see if I was pregnant. I told him that on the scale of 1-10, 10 being the most painful and 1 being not painful at all, that I was at a 10 for how painful my periods were. He did nothing for me just overlooked it.
At this same visit before blood tests or pap results came back he told me that I don't ovulate and that he was going to prescribe me two medications. Provera- which forces your period to start and Chlomid-which is supposed to make you ovulate. After my husband and I talked about it we chose not to fill the prescriptions and we never went back to that doctor!
For you women out there who are TTC (trying to conceive) if your doctor is like this one was and just prescribes you medication and doesn't do any tests FIND A NEW DOCTOR! There is no reason why you should take any medication without validation for taking it first!!
Hey there! I am truly sorry that you have to go through this. I want you to know that I understand what you are going through and pray your arms are blessed with a baby soon. Paul and I tried for 7 years before M&S were born and another 5 years before baby I was born. If you ever need to vent, chat or just talk about other things, I am here for you! Love you guys!
