update: to cycle being doomed - went to ob...

babes12 · July 2010

so not only is something wrong w/ my crotch but obviously something is wrong w/ my brain as well.

i finally got the courage to call my ob and make an appt. to find out if i have a YI or not. so nate and i walk to my ob b/c it's close to my house. well they don't have my appt. turns out i made the appt. at my old ob!!!! Now i had to literally run home, throw nate in the car and rush to the other ob. i had to fill out all this paperwork since i'm not a patient there anymore but they saw me right away. they did a culture but i wont have th results till next week. he did say he saw some yeast so he gave me a script for fluconazole (1 pill). so i'm praying this works in time for TTC this cycle.

However as i was sitting there he said to give TTC 6months or make an appt. for dec. if i'm not pg. by then and he would refer me to a RE. Sad i wasn't prepared for that and was alittle shocked.

so good times, i'm brain dead, my crotch sucks and now infertile too. :sigh:

at least you have a plan

That always makes me feel a little better... knowing that there is a plan in place

Aw, hon. That's a rough morning.

I think the plan sounds reasonable, though. I know waiting sucks, and I hope it happens quickly for you guys so this becomes a non-issue.

that's true but i have a dilemma b/c this is not my OB. i switched ob's when i had Wyatt b/c i want to try for a VBAC w/ the next one and my old ob and the hospital they are affiliated w/ don't allow vbacs. However, i absolutely love my old OB and the only reason i left was b/c of not allowing vbacs. so now do i stick w/ them and then decide when i'm hopefully pg. again or go back to my new ob that does allow vbacs but has never mentioned me seeing an RE?

Sorry hun. A plan is always good! The pill should work in plenty of time for TTC...so don't worry about that! And I am brain dead about 23 out of 24 hours of the day...if my head wasn't attached I would probably lose it!

i should also mention that for about the past year or so i've had this YI issue almost every single cycle after I ovulate. so it's been really bothering me that theres just something not right so that's why i made the appt. today.

however this is the first time i had a YI in the beginning of my cycle so i don't know what's going on. i'm just broken down there. i hate when anything is wrong w/ me. i can't handle it. blah.

What a tough morning. I'm glad they gave you something, I hope it works fast. ((hugs))

Have you ever brought it up to your new ob about seeing an RE? I would find out what they think and when they think a referral is necessary (do you definitely need a referal?) before making a decision of who to see. I also want a vbac and it's very important to me so I think I would make sure I knew there was something about the pro-vbac's office that was a problem before switching.

I'm sorry, that's a really rough morning. I kind of flipped when my dr suggested an RE, it's so scary and for me it was confirmation that I am broken. I hope the YI clears up quickly for you and you don't even need the referral.

actually the month i got my bfp i was thinking about calling my new ob and setting up an appt. to talk about going to an RE or what our next plan of action was since i wasn't getting pg.

i like the new ob office but i just like my old ob more. they know so much about me that my new ob doesn't. for example i lost my dad while pg. w/ DS # 1, and when i lost Wyatt so we have a history. it was a tough decision when i left there for the new ob. but i really want a vbac too.

I totally understand why you would want to stay with your old ob and why you can feel a difference. I don't think I could leave my midwives that I saw during my last pregnancy unless I was forced by insurance.

Could you get an appointment with your new ob to discuss the chronic YI's and use that opportunity to see how they would approach the RE end of it? Don't put any pressure on yourself to decide right this second. Once you get all the information, if your gut tells you to go back to your old one then you do that. You could also ask your old ob what they think about the new vbac guidelines and if they see any change coming in the near future.

yes, it was really a tough choice to leave my old ob. i mean they were like part of my family. i had to see them so often b/c i had GD and when i had Nathan i was like wait, no more doc appointments? LOL i seriously felt lost w/o them. but again, i really do not want to go through another c/s if i can help it.

you have very good ideas! i have to call for my culture results next week so hopefully i can ask them if they've modified their vbac guidelines. i know the hospital was just newly rennovated and they did alot to the labor and delivery unit so maybe they may even allow them now? who knows. but if they do allow them it won't be a question at all in my mind, i'd definitely go back to my old ob.
