Re: Re: New To Group With Questions- LONG-SORRY

[Guest guest]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.......that's right, I remember your post about

this. Is clomid a aaah.....mmmph, I can't think of the name, anyway, you

know helps you ovulate more, etc.

Did your doctor say that was the reason for the m/c? Were diagnosed as

having gestational diabetes?

I was borderline GD the first time around, but I was a good 30 lbs

lighter too. The doctor wouldn't say that was the cause of my m/c...

they never want to say... can you hear my contempt for doctors? LOL I

determined it myself from researching it copiously on the internet. : )

My doctors just LOOOOVE my penchant for self-diagnosis. hehe But I'm

right, which drives 'em crazier. They like to have all the facts

themselves, to dispense as they please. ROFL

Yes, Clomid stimulates ovulation.

I meant to tell that I have the headaches also..... I think they're

connected to the heat. But if you read the expecting books, they say it's

normal. Of course you tell your doctor, but it's normal.

I have to get off for a few, I'm not ignoring anyone. " I'll be bach " (Of

course we know whose voice that is :-) Gee, I'm in a good mood today.

Yep at my last visit, because of my headaches, I just knew that I had to

have high blood pressure. It runs in my family, and I'm still obese, though

not super morbidly obese anymore. Plus, (Whispering), I smoke. Guess

what, it was lower, and perhaps the best it's been. Go figure.....

We should report everything to them.(doctors) No self-diagnosing, right

Kris. I'm guilty of it. I just like to post about my experience, just to

let you know that you're not by yourself. Also, maybe you can tell me

something that I or my doctor hasn't thought of, and vice versa

Hi Terri,

I know you posted your question about a high risk OB last week, but I

was cruising the Caribbean and just read it!

My regular GYN sent me to a high risk OB because she wanted me watched

closely because of the surgery. They wanted to be sure I could eat enough to

keep me and the baby healthy. I felt well cared for with so many people

looking after me, plus those docs are closer to my house! Unfortunately, we

lost the baby at 8 weeks, but I will definitely go back to them when we

conceive again!

Hugs,

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry .... =( but it is great that you had such great care- I

hope I will be able to find a good doctor!!

Terri
