my phone call to dr r.

[Guest guest]

i really appreciate everyone helping me..i called dr r's office and

they wont do phone consultation first...so bc of tight money issues i

am going to see what my regular dr says when i see him on friday... i

am hoping if i go in with more questions he will be able to help more.

i am soooooo not ruling out dr r..but i just started a new job and

with having to travel all that way twice within a month..it seems

overwhelming right now. but i am planning to continue playing the

lottery so i can buy a private jet and fly to any dr in the world if i

wanna!!! lol

thanks for being so kind and i now see why they say people in texas

are so cool!! xoox jenn

Is your birth control pill made from estrogen and progestin, both? I'm like

the doc here, I've never heard of this, unless your bc pills have progestin

in them. Progestin is not like progesterone.
