Vent needed!

in Trying to Get Pregnant
i just went to visit my doctor this morning (needed a script for my anti-depressants) I'm on Zoloft. I mentioned to him I was charting because we are TTC he said charting was a complete waste of time! It bothers me so much that people can be so narrow minded!! I'm going to look around for a new doctor as I need someone who is on the same page as me.

I'm going to continue to chart as I've learnt so much from it in the past few months & hopefully I can find a new doctor in a few months time when it comes time for a new script.

    You're not getting zoloft from your psychiatrist? Who cares what he thinks? Btw are u planning on staying on your meds during pregnancy?

    Most practitioners do not understand temping they equate natural family planning with the calander method. Which is a waste of time. Good luck in your practitioner search!

    He prescribed it to me, I'm on it due to anxiety & panic attacks. The plan is to be off them completely during pregnancy, unless I can't cope. The pros out weigh the cons for me at the moment. My anxiety was so bad that I couldn't drive, couldn't work & that wasn't ok with me.

    Maybe when you said charting he didn't equate that with temping, because even in 1986 (when my parents were trying to have me!) doctors were having patients chart their temperatures to see if they were ovulating. (Turns out my mom wasn't ovulating. She might have known had she been charting all along, but it's a lot easier these days!)

    That's why I hesitate to mention charting, even to my midwife. It's not like they teach it in med school.
    My TTC History:
    2009: missed miscarriage #1 at 9 weeks (trisomy 16)
    2010: Infertility
    2011: Diagnosis and treatment (low sperm count, anastrozole for DH, clomid for me + IUI)
    2012: Baby #1
    2014: Baby #2
    October 2015: missed miscarriage #2 at 11 weeks (trisomy 22)
    March 2016 BFP#5, due November 2016.

    My Charts since 2009

    I'm on lexapro. Doc told me it could affect the baby but chances are very low. And like you the pros may out weigh the cons.

    I didn't mind that article except the last point where they blamed difficulty TTC on stress. Working in mental health I see the value of stress/ anxiety management in overall well being. I just don't like the "just relax, don't stress" approach especially when woman start to feel they are too stressed to concieve. There is no evidence that stress impacts TTC

    This article was fantastic, it made me cry & then afterwards I laughed because I realised how silly I've been lately. My fingers are crossed that this month was our month, if it's not then so be it. I've got 2 gorgeous nieces & 1 handsome nephew that I get to spoil rotten for now :)

    I hope you're being closely monitored on that??!

    According to her other post about it, she's not. She was monitored prior to being prescribed, but not anymore.

    I'm certainly not giving up, but I can't change the past & if this wasn't our month then maybe next will. Just being realistic :) right now we are just taking each cycle as it comes. We will get there when it's our time.
