Official Depo Thread - Page 6

I am thinking of seeing a OB doc in April if I'm not pregnant yet or if my cycles have not resumed to normal. My regular doctors (a male) made it clear that he can't do anything till at least the end of summer. So I'm thinking of seeing a women Ob doc for a second opinion. Have any of you girls seen a doc yet? Were they helpful or did they just brush you off? I'm curious if after a year seeing a doctor would do me any good.

Ive not seen a doctor as only been off DEPO for just over a year now and i have been pregnant since.

You only came off it in may so i doubt any doctor will do anything till may 2011, and then it will proberly be a blood test and tell you to chart your temp ect

My sister-in-law raves about the female dr that she sees so she doesn't want to switch doctors. However, imho that female dr is keeping her from having a baby as long as she keeps seeing her. It's been 3 years and she just now put her on some pills for 3 months. She told her 8 months ago that she could go back in November and now it's if she's not pregnant in 6 months she is going to refer her to a specialist (aka my dr who doesn't require a referal). She told her that she has been timing BD wrong for the last 3 years every month. What a crock. And apparently female drs are in short supply in this town b/c it took her a month to get in for fertility issue and 2 months to schedule her next annual exam. Craziness!! Especially since my doctor can always conveniently get me in quickly. I

my doctor.

Oh yeah I almost forgot Rose, my last shot was in April 09. When I went to my dr in September he told me that if my cycles weren't regular in October 09 *six months out* I could go back for fertility work because he knew we were TTC.

That's funny. I was about to add you to our game when I saw that you're already caught the egg. Congrats!

Congrats MandaXMX! I'd say that this gives me hope, but I really hope I don't have to wait 15 months!

I just got AF today after my longest cycle since coming off DP. 31 days long (felt late and frustrated since Monday - 4 days). I'm sad it's not a bfp, but glad that we can look forward to next cycle!

My doctor has hinted that at my age (turning 32 in about 20 days) she would start helping me after we've tried for 6 months or so. Well, 2 months down.

sherylb · Jan 14th, 2011, 21:00 PM

Rocket I hope that it doesn't come to that. It sure is expensive once the doctor gets involved. I don't know about your insurance but ours only covers the diagnostics to see if there is a problem.
