oh...well, we have a "tentative plan: :)

Ok...so, after I was bummed yesterday, I emailed dh regarding everything I posted about my fears, with the additional upcoming deployment...my age...etc. I just couldn't wait until Sept 15th to address this when he gets back!

I am sooo impatient. Anyways, i just got an email back and he wants to NTNP for 2 months when he gets back. (aka, the pull out method, sorry..tmi) and if it happens, then it is meant to be! so, I have a physical scheduled in a few weeks with my primary dr. It takes much longer to get in to see my OB/GYN, if that is who I even want to see at this point. ( still annoyed that she wouldn't check my progesterone when my last numbers didn't double appropriately) Any recommendations on anything I could ask her to do? She is pretty hesitant to order anything out of her scope, but I wanted to try and do something before we ttc..even if it is ntnp, because i think it is possible it could happen even ntnp, since I got pregnant the last two times we tried. any advice or suggestions?? any would be appreciated!

and, i know this isn't a true plan, since we will still be NTNP, but the reason for that is because I was having a hard time ttc knowing I would be doing the first six months without dh and I just didn't want him to miss those special moments that you can never get back. but i really thought a lot about what some of you posted on my post from yesterday...about the end result being we get our rainbow baby, even if he has to miss some of the beginning. We may decide to just go for it the first month and just ttc vs ntnp, but since we only have email to use right now to discuss all of this.. at this point...going with ntnp sounds like a good middle ground. sorry, i know this is a lot of info...but my mind is racing today!

YAY! Glad you talked to him! I hope you guys can get on a real plan that works for both of you!
I think you may have a hard time getting your regular doctor to do anything. And honestly, she won't have the expertise to really interpret the results. But getting some basic tests sun like a thyroid panel, and maybe checking things like your C reactive protein level could give you a starting point. Good luck!!!!!

Glad you talked to him and I'm glad you both agreed on it

That is awesome news!!

yeah, i figured my primary wouldn't be able to do much...I was just trying to think of any basic types of things that she could order. I will ask her to at least check those things for me. I can hope for a possible cancellation and sooner appt with the ob/gyn...but if we don't get everything tested, I will keep the plans the same either way. thank you guys! i am glad we have some sort of plan...

I'm so glad you talked to him... I was very upset for you when I read your other post. Im sending lots of sticky dust and BFP vibes your way!

Would your OB consider ordering the b/w without seeing you, if you explain the situation to them and/or the nurse? Perhaps they could at least get that going for you?
I am glad you talked to him and you have at least started a plan, you have to start somewhere right? YAY!

sandiegomom · #7 August 24th, 2011, 12:45 PM

thanks ladies... yeah, that is a good idea!! I am gonna call and see if they will do the blood work before hand, that way I have it at the appointment. thanks for that...see, that is why I like posting on here! sometimes, we forget to think outside the box, lol

thanks!

HAHA

I know how hard it can be to get into the OB, mine is so great that she is almost always booked - I have had to use this tactic before...lol! GL!

That's a good idea and I'd say it's worth a shot!

I'm so glad you and your DH have a plan. I know email wasn't the way you wanted to have "the talk", but I'm sure you felt better after getting it all out and getting a good response from him. Your DH seems very supportive!

well...it didn't work...darn it. I got a big fat.... no...I have to wait until the appt.

well, it was worth a try! I even tried calling the naval hospital here to see if i could get in there..especially since it is free. but, got a no there too since I am not tricare prime at their clinic they don't have room for me. darn it. i guess i will just wait until appointment!
