Dr's today

[Suz]

It was ok... Of course he didnt do anything about my pains. He said that even if it was cysts, there is nothing to be done because I wont go on BCP. However he felt around and said that everything felt fine. He wants me to go in for some blood work tho so I will be doing that on monday morning. He wants to check my Thyroid levels, as well as my Glucose... So we will get all that checked out on monday morning.....

He said I should have done that before we even started TTC. I forgot he orderd those tests in 2006 He wants me to check for rubela immunizations (spelling) and if Im not immune, I have to get immunized and hold off on TTC for 3 months. Also if I end up with a Thyroid problem, TTC will be off for 6 months while we correct that.

We discussed TTC and that we should have sex at lease every 3 days....I got introuble for not excersising and not taking my folic acid.

[Faerie]

Glad you're going to be able to take some steps forward Suz. Have you checked up about the holding off TTC due to thyroid? Just because I was tested for thyroid, and I'm borderlind hypo, but there was never any mention of me having to hold off TTCing, they just said they'd monitor it during pregnancy.

 

[Vickie]

Good luck with the tests on Monday Suz

 

[Suz]

All he said is that if I did have a Hypo Thyroid problem, it would be best if we held up TTC for 6 months while it was treated. he said because if we did get preg, it could complacate things. But the main one is the immunizations... He was firm about holding off on ttc if I needed them. Said my choices where BCP or condoms. But he did say if there was a thyroid problem, could be a reason for not getting pregnant.

He kept saying that I was young and still had time... not to panic but lets get things rolling.

 

[Faerie]

Well at least he seems like he's a positive kind of Dr, always good to find! Obviously they treat things differently in different parts of the world, over here they just said that if I was hypo thyrodic they'd need to monitor me. Fingers crossed for the rubela hun xxx

 

[polo_princess]

[miel]

[NeyNey]

[Suz]

Got my bloods drawn this morning... so now its a wait and see what the results are.... Should have answers in about a week.

 

[Vickie]

Good luck, I hope you hear back quickly!

 

[Suz]

Funny note....

I walked into the lab and was called in.... Sat down and the lab tec said....

"Im a Student, do you mind if I draw your blood?"

I let her... She did a good job..

 

[Vickie]

I probably wouldn't have let her

 

[Suz]

I went ahead and let her... Started to get nervouse when she was feeling around for my vain on my left arm and then said, well lets try the other arm. Then she was feeling around on my right arm and asked, " Do you usually have problems with bloods being drawn?"

I said NEVER *gulp* I looked away and she stuck me and well she did a good job But next time a student asks, Ill have to say no

 

[Holldoll]

Good for you going!! If you do have thyroid problems, you really might want to try that naturopath. She might have a solution better than medication. Good luck!

 

[Suz]

May have to look more into that, My mom is willing to pay for my treatments if I need her to.... That goes for things Through Kaiser that is not covered under my insurance and maybe other things.... So Ill have to check that out a bit more.
