Which is, I think, the most frustrating and difficult thing the first time(s) you go through a pregnancy. Now that you have the system figured out, you can decide which is your best course of action.<br /><br />And it's so true that medicine has become a "consumer" activity. Well said!<br /><br />Thinking about you in a very cautiously optimistic sort of way.

What I'd do is just not call for awhile, and then explain AFTERWARD why I didn't call for awhile: "I didn't want to do all the blood draws and things"---rather than calling and explaining beforehand. The OB never wants to see me until 10 weeks, so that's probably how long I'd wait. But then if I changed my mind mid-10-weeks, I'd call then. The "10 weeks" would be more of a "I don't have to do anything NOW" marker.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-63787801909132845692010-02-09T08:20:10.781-08:002010-02-09T08:20:10.781-08:00You just do what you feel is best!

Lot. after YEARS of infertility and - says you need to start the intervention stuff this cycle, but before the pregnancy - that would include supplements. So. Tell your OB and take hold of your medical care. You pay her, not the other way around. If you don't want the blood draws then skip them. If you don't want an early ultrasound then skip it. There isn't anything anyone can do at this point but to wish you continued health and pray for a joyous outcome.<br /><br />And on that note I wish you continued health and a joyous outcome this pregnancy!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258008725168179068noreply@blogger.com
