That was thoroughly dissatisfying

According to the NP I see for my annual:

-You ovulate 14 days before your period.  I told her I didn't usually and she said "well, about that much"

-Women who chart take longer to get pregnant than women who don't.  I wanted to ask if I could see some data on that claim.

    She obviously follows the "just relax and don't think about it and it will happen" approach.

    Douche! I was that clueless but I am not a medical professional either. Douche!

    She wouldn't look at my charts and her response to me telling her I temp is "why would you do that?".  I told her I'm a scientist and like data and she said "well, whatever floats your boat".   When she was feeling my ovaries she said "you're going to get pregnant this cycle and you'll have to call and thank me because I will have made you ovulate".  Indifferent

    I'm not sure what to do.  The practice is the best in town and they have a TON of doctors (8) and midwives (7), plus some PAs and NPs.  They're 3 minutes from my house too, so it's really convenient.

    Gotta love the professionals who supposedly want to help you get pg, but tell you that you ovulate "14 days before your period" (well, if you knew for certain when that was coming, you would probably already be pg, right? or at least not caught out without a tampon, hmm - or at least would know what numbers to play in the lottery) or "about that much" (yeah, because we might not want to know specifically when to have sex if DH has sperm count issues and you can only have sex every other day to keep the numbers high).

    Not saying it works for everyone since really it's a 20-25% chance of getting KTFU each time with perfect timing, but knowing what the timing is sure does help with the process.

    What a twit.

    In that case I would call and complain to the management.

    I'd start with wondering just how she is able to take responsibility for making you ovulate.What, was there a magic button she knew about or something?

    Being that close is not all it is cracked up to be when the professional you are looking to for help in procreating takes the 1890 approach to pregnancy. How exactly are they the best in town? Is this a philosophy of just this NP and you can arrange to never see her again and only work with educated professionals or is this a practice-wide theory? If it is practice-wide, they are not, in fact, the best in town.

    My doc wouldn't even talk about me not getting pregnant until the year mark.  She looked at my charts, saw that I was ovulating and said to try the CBEFM.  I ordered it that day off ebay and was pregnant the next month. 

    I'm not saying its the miracle cure all, but maybe it relaxed me or something??

    Woman who chart take longer to get pregnant? That doesn't make any sense. I'd like to hear the logic behind that.
