Frustrated vent!

So I called my Dr today to see if I could stop taking my BCP's since I have been on them for 2 month and been regular both months....its like clockwork! They finally called me back today and said that she wants me to continue to take my pills for another month! My next cycle with the pills will end around May 7th and my next appointment isn't scheduled till June 20th. I am just frustrated right now.....I hate swallowing that pill everyday knowing it is completely defeating my purpose. And besides that we have MFI. I have had my HSG....my tubes are clear and got positive OPK's. Then she asks me if I am still taking my pre-natals......I say no because what is the point when I am doing nothing right to help me get pregnant. She says she wants me to continue to take the pre-natals too.  I was in tears when I got off the phone. I don't know if its the hormones or just sheer frustration but I was really hoping to not have to take them another month. And after my next round of BCP's I have to start progesterone draws again. Anyone know why I am the one that has to do all this and my DH only has a follow up appt in may with his Urologist? I am just DONE with the STUPID BCP's!!! This is all new to me so maybe I don't understand how it works but I won't actually start Clomid until probably July. The last time I was at the Dr was February. I feel like for some reason she is postponing this whole process. I am just so angry right now!!! Thanks for listening to me vent!

    Ugh!  I am so sorry you sound so frustrated and I don't blame you.  I would consider calling her back and asking why the delay?  Do you have a Dx?  Maybe it is until your DH has his follow up?  I do understand the prenatals...from what I understand they like you to be on them for several months leading up.  I agree it is hard, having been on them 2 years Confused.  Have you considered getting a second opinion?  Sorry you are going through this.  Hold onto hope.

    That does sound frustrating!  There's so much waiting involved with IF, I completely understand your frustration and feeling like you just want to get the show on the road.

    Regarding the prenatal vitamins, they are most effective if you start taking them before you get pregnant and during your pregnancy (especially the first trimester).  So it's best for you to continue them.

    As for the BCP, I remember being on them for soooo long, after a while it just became habit.  Try not to think of it as a step back though.  You are definitely working towards your goal.

     I agree...there's no harm in asking your doc for more clarity.

    Good luck!

    I haven't been Dx with any problem.....we have just been having issues with sperm motility. I guess thats why I don't understand why they are forcing me to take these stupid pills. Thanks for all the feedback. I knew I would feel better if I posted here.....although I am still angry Crying
