Trying to Get Pregnant
"S*** my doctor says."
What are some of the most irritating comments you have gotten from your doctor(s)?
I have two.
My doctor a few years ago saw I had a Marine Corps lanyard hanging out of my purse and asked if I was a Marine. I said no but my DH (boyfriend at the time) was.
Doc: "Oh is he over seas?"
Me: "No, but if he does go, he won't be front lines or anything.."
Doc: "Oh well yea I guess it's better to have bombs thrown over at you instead of directly at you..."
Then today I was at my gyn office for a checkup (nothing below the belt but I thought I'd get a few questions out of the way). Doc was super shocked to hear I haven't had any bleeding what so ever, not even spotting or a withdrawal, since finishing my last pill packet a couple weeks ago.
Doc: Well.. You COULD be pregnant.... *pause for like a million years* BUT it's unlikely.
Of course I already know anything is possible, but not very likely at this particular time, but she didn't have to say it to me lol.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: "S*** my doctor says."
My Doc during a Pap:
"Do you want me to do an anal exam while Im down here?"
uhhh.... "do i need one doc?"
"Not unless you want it."
"Yeah... Ill pass."
Insult to injury: my MALE doctor is VERY cute and young....
You win.
Um, that's not even close to appropriate.....malpractice/assault comes to mind actually.
Seriously. I haven't had anything even remotely like that. My RE and I joke all the time about my sh*tty ovaries, but that's just funny lol
I have two!
1.
First time I ever had a transvaginal ultrasound, the technician must have been nervous, because she felt like telling me she was a lesbian while she's got the dildo cam up there. I have nothing against lesbians, it's just kind of a weird time to tell someone, especially when it came out of nowhere.
2.
The other is that I made a miscalculation on how many days it had been from O to the time that I got AF on my first round of Clomid. The doctor was confused by my dates, because when they checked that I'd already ovulated, then I thought I hadn't had AF until 20-24dpo, instead of saying I just made a miscalculation... he told me it's possible that my O was delayed because I had an early pregnancy and miscarried... Even if that was the truth (which it wasn't, I'm just stupid and miscalculated), why would you tell me that??!???
Idiot.
Yikes! I'd probably die if my doctor asked me that. My doctor is a hottie. He didn't ask any weird questions last pap, and that was awkward enough on its own.
I'll second this. It's actually very important if you're concerned about cevical, uterine, or ovarian cancer because sometimes you can feel masses on the posterior aspect of the uterus this way.
But....still SUPER awkward. (Although I suppose not warning you he was going to do it might be even worse.)
Ok I have nothing to top the PP!
But - about 6 months before DH and I got married I had an anual pap and I told the doc that we were planning to TTC right after we got married. First she was so excited and talked to me for a few minutes about blood work and vitamins and such that I would need to do closer to the time.
Then just as she is about to leave she turns around in the doorway and says "I think you should wait until you have been with your H for a few years so you know you like living with him."
::blank stare:: "We've been living together for almost two years."
"Oh! Well then I guess you have him well trained by now. Take care."
It was so weird!
