I'm seeing a new Midwife later this month for my annual exam and pap. I just got on H's insurance and this practice comes very highly recommend. I'm excited to work with them, they are very pro NFP/FAM (and fx have a great birthing center). Anyway, its the first time I've been able to see a non Planned Parenthood gyno (self employment= crappy insurance options) and I've never really needed more than a refill on my BC.
So I was wondering if you lovely ladies had any insight into questions I should ask re:preconception concerns, general gynecological stuffs, worries about AMA, ect. Or if I'm totally over thinking this feel free to tell me that too. Thanks
Re: Any advice...
If this is your first time there they should do a full blood work up on you. If they don't order it, just ask.
Tell them you are trying to conceive. and see what they say. If you have been ttc for over 6 months with good timing you may want to get a referral to a RE if you want to go that route. If the gyn suggests putting you on fertility meds run and find a new doctor. The only ones that should prescribe meds like that are RE's.
Im a little jealous as there are no midwives in my area. I'm a more naturalistic person and would love that kind of doctor.
Well good luck and let us know how it goes.
