Day 28

I have my appointment in a few hours. I'm kind of thinking this appointment is completely pointless, obviously my ovaries aren't overstimulated...my levels went down! But I am going to talk to the doctor about trying OPK's again. I was doing that with Dr. Sager, which was a total waste of money considering I wasn't even ovulating. I've heard you can get false positives if you have PCOS though so I'm really not sure what to think.

I had joined a new infertility forum board but those ladies were real bitches! (Pardon my french) On one thread someone was talking about how her doctor gave her a few different options and everybody said that was wrong, he should have just done something (I mean, that's what he's there for, right?) I was disgusted...it's that kind of thinking that got me in trouble with my first OB. She told me I had PCOS and slapped me on BC without even explaining the disease or encouraging me to study up on it. She never explained the importance of treating it! My current doctor is great at giving me options. Like when we talked on the phone Tuesday, she said if I wanted to she'd give me a referral to an RE right then and there, but she reminded me I still have 4 months left to see what Clomid can do for me. Just because they get paid the big bucks does not give doctors the right to diagnose and prescribe without informing the patient!

Rant over...some people I just wish I could go through the computer screen and strangle them. Needless to say, I'm not going back to that board. :)
