The first time for me....

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I went to the allergist today to having testing done, and the results showed I have some pretty bad allergies. So the doctor wants me to begin shots. When I told him we were TTC, he asked "soooo, what do you think the odds are of you conceiving quickly?" So I went into our story about my CF causing me to have thick CM and how we going in for a consult this week etc.

When I checked out of the appointment, I had the sheet you give to the check-out person and saw there were some things listed under "Diagnosis": Chronic Sinusisits, Cough, Rhinitis, Cystic Fibrosis, and Infertility. That's the first time I've seen that last one. It didn't make me sad, but, at the same time, I felt like he had written it in big letters with a red sharpie across the page. Blah...just had to share.

    I'm not a regular poster over here, but that would have caught me off guard, too. :(

    I would be disappointed as well.  Someone else....an allergist...labeling you as infertile. Urgh....

    oh mainer- that stinks, what a sucker punch, and what an odd thing for him to write as a diagnosis considering he's an allergist,

    sorry

    that totally sucks. i would urge you to do some research on allergy shots before agreeing to it. its something i think all allergists push and from my research, it was something i opted not to do even though my allergy/asthma specialists constantly tries to push me to it. i have never met a person who actually was helped from the shots, and you still have to take your meds and you can have horrible reactions from the shots. good luck!

    Thanks again everyone!

    4real - thanks for the advice. I have been hemming and hawing over this for years for that exact reason. My CF dr told me the shots only work for about 30% of people, but, at this point, I am willing to try anything. At a minimum, at least he put me on some new allergy meds and I learned what to avoid, so hopefully that will help some.
