pregnancy weight loss stalled
This morning I had my first official second opinion appointment. I went in with all my previous test results and a list of questions to ask and get answered. I was the first person in there and had all my paperwork filled out already. Waited about 40 min to see the Dr. but saw the Nurse Practitioner while I was waiting.
Dr. B. seemed like a nice guy. When he first sat down he asked me for a little bit of a background as to whats been going on. I filled him in and mentioned that I have been going to a TCM for acupuncture and herbs and he immediately jumped in to tell me he doesnt believe in "that stuff." (Which truly baffles me because while Western Med. Drs might not understand Eastern Medicine, it IS how they practice medicine on the other side of the world so how can they can just completely discredit it makes no sense to me!). So anyway, that put me off right away, but I was still going to hear all he had to say. Right after he stated his disbelief in herbs and acupuncture, I mentioned that its what Ive been doing for the past 3 months since my diagnosis and then asked if I he looked at my recent lab results. He said not yet and then flipped to that page. His eyes flew open and he said, "wow. Thats quite a jump! I mean really, thats something else. I cant imagine what would have caused such a drastic change." And instantly followed it with, "..but its definitely not from the herbs and acupuncture. If there was something that truly worked like that, wed all be using it in fertility clinics." Yeah okay... So he has no idea what would cause the change yet hes definitely sure it wasnt the herbs! LOL. Anyway, he said my recent numbers arent terribly bad, but that my E2 being
higher it artificially suppresses the FSH.
He went over the options with me (which I am honestly just delighted that I now have potential options!) of procedures I could try. He said since insurance doesnt covert infertility in FL, he wouldnt recommend starting with IVF unless we def want to jump right in with the big guns. He suggested we first try to get my body to have a period by taking a month of birth control pills. Then, when if stop the pills I would call them the day I start my bleed and come in on day 3 and start Femera. He said then I could decide if I wanted to try naturally or do an IUI. That naturally Id have a 10-15% chance of conceiving and the IUI bumps it up to 20% (at $600 a pop). I didnt realize an IUI only gives you a 20% chance. Now it makes sense why I always see so many signatures in the forum that say "failed IUI."
Through the rest of the talk, he kept mentioning how his office has an 80% success rate, which I know isnt true because no place has that high of a success rate, so Im not sure how he was counting. He also kept throwing in that he is a Christian doctor, which for me isnt exactly a selling point. Religious beliefs dont make or break a doctor. A good RE is a good RE.
So I thanked him and went on my way. As I said, he was nice, but not what I was looking for. But thats ok... I still have other options to check out...
