I have been going to the same doctors office for well over 5 years. I don't see the actual doctor there, but a nurse practioner (I think that is what her title is....) They told me when I started going there that if I were to ever become pregnant, they would then switch me to one of the MD's.
So, I had a normal appointment in June, which is when I told her that I was officially going off the pill and starting TTC. We talked a bit about using other forms of BC for a few months until my cycle straightened itself out, and she fitted me for a diaphram to use for a few months and wished me luck.
That's it. The end.
She never said another word. I guess I feel like she just didn't care. I feel like my OBGYN should be a little more "invested" in my getting a BFP. Am I wrong? She gave me not indication as to how long I should TTC before I look into possible fertility help. She didn't offer to prescribe me a vitamin. She didn't mention any type of testing. She didn't give me any advice on what things/foods/activities, etc. to avoid.
I just feel like she sort of checked out on me and left me hanging. I was really looking for advice from her as I am 36 (soon to be 37), have NEVER tried to conceive before, and my husband is quite a bit older and has had testicular cancer (with radiation)...
My question is, would you look for a new doctor at this time????
