Hi! This is my first post over here. Been TTC for about 2 months now (went off the pill the very end of March), and I have my first appointment with my gyno tomorrow morning for a physical and I want to discuss TTC and any concerns I have.
My question, is it overkill to print off my charts and bring them with me? Ive only been charting for 2 cycles now and I only started about 1/3rd of the way through for the first one. Any advise of questions I should ask to make sure I get the most out of the appointment?
Thanks
Re: New - Question about physical
You could bring them, however your one complete chart will provide very little information.
When I told my OB/GYN she basically said great, take a PNV, have fun and call in a year if you aren't KU.
I wouldnt have thought of that, thank you!
Most OB's don't get charting, and roll their eyes at them. Don't waste your time.
Your OB won't be very helpful with TTC; she/he is really only useful AFTER you're KU. Ask about the meds, and see if there is anything you need to do to get in shape for having a baby, but otherwise, keep charting and do your own homework.

I asked my Dr (not an OB) about the medication I'm on (she was very informative) and also gave me the DTaP vaccine because unfortunately, pertussis is making a comeback locally.
She said about 50% of couples off bc will get pregnant the first year and said she could refer me to some good OBs when the time comes.
