29-5-2009 - Dr. Advice AwakeMy mood while writing this blog:
Awake



I had my doctors appointment yesturday and the doc could tell me what was wrong with me. She says that it was probobly part of my period. I told her since I started my period I have never had any problems like that. Although I have been in alot of painful, painful periods, but only 2 days. Last cycle I didn't have any pain and I believe thats becuase I started eatting fish. After that cycle stopped I didn't eat any fish and when AF started I was in so much pain and all of a sudden I had gotten cold and sweaty and couldn't consentrate. She said nobody has ever complained of chills, but she thinks its part of my period. She told me to try tylenol or neproxin (sp?) I told her tylenol doesnt work. I told her usually I pop 6 or 8 Midols in one day, but not at one time. She says and I quote "Midol....Whats Midol? Whats in it?" I'm thinking your the doctor and your asking me how to spell it and whats in it.

We started talking about getting pregnant and she told me that it is not recommended to check your cervix and cervical mucus. She said that that opens your cervix to infection. I havent decided wheither or not I'm going to stop doin it or not. I suppose I could check my CM on a tissue after I go to the bathroom. The cervix confuses me anyways, so that will be less stress. She told me that if I think there is a problem that I could call the infertility people and make an appointment. She said thats its already harder for me to get preggers because I have wierd periods, but she says that I'm not irregular.

I'm not sure what I should do. I'm thinking of going back to oral temps because she told me that your not supposed to stick anything up there, well except for tampons.

First thing I did when I got home was buy some fish and we had some for dinner lastnight and I swear that if I have no pain my next cycle then I know for sure its the fish and make sure I have fish twice a week. I will do anything to keep that kind of pain away.

Of course she told me that I can't stress out to much and that may be the reason I cant get pregnant. I think that I will just take my temperature and BD every other day and that will be about all I do. I'm already in to much stress with it about being the end of the fiscal year for my job and that is the most stressful time for me and long hours.

Wow, your doc seems a bit out of touch! I agree that getting over stressed about the TTC process is not good, so no need to bother tracking anything that causes stress. Not sure I agree with her being so concerned about checking CP and vaginal temping. If you are using very clean hands and very clean thermometer, then it is no worse than what goes into your vagina while TTC! I'm pretty sure a mans penis is not dipped in antibacterial soap for 10 minutes prior to the act. The introduction of some bacteria to the vagina is part of daily life. Our vagina has natural antibacterial properties. As long as we keep clean, and are not jamming out fingernails or thermometers into our cervix (as if! eep!), it's not a terrible practice. I agree on the fish - it is a very healthy food for regulating everything it seems - from our brain to our ovaries! When I get back to TTC, I will do one cycle of temping just to make sure I am ovulating (or a best guess anyway) then I will just BD every other day. I think I've gained enough info about my cycles to not need to really track them anymore anyway. Have a great weekend!

lol she didn't know what Midol was? WEIRD! I would do exactly what ya said. Just try not to stress, take your temps and monitor your CM. You will be fine : ) You'll get that BFP you're looking for real soon. Dana
