Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,
I went to the nurse practitioner today. She explained everything to my OB/GYN doctor on phone and they have scheduled an appointment for U/S & some blood work on 17th. They told me to start on birth control pills after the U/S for 2 months. They scheduled a followup appoinment with my OB/GYN in 6 weeks. They said the doctor will talk to me about the blood results & stimulation of ovulation at that time. I was disappointed since OB/GYN put me on birthcontrol pills. What to do Archie ?? Do you want me to wait on that till I meet my OB/GYN and know the blood results ?
They haven't talked about ruling out Endometriosis.

Waiting for your reply, Archie.
Archie replied. Dear Sushma,
It may sound surprising to you that you are asked to get on BCP while you want to try to get pregnant.

BCP are soupposed to help control your hormones and may result in irregular or at least increase the length of cycle. Following to BCP your Dr. may offer you another hormonal treat that will first induce period and then see whether or not you get on ovulation regularly. I think BCP is not bad choice at this stage.

No, your nurse would not get much on endo stuff, that I had doubt in my mind. If you wish you could continue with ttc and opt out for BCP. Solitarily your choice, nothing to worry about.

If you want to ttc, then I would highly recommend use of OPK and try around your ovualtion peak time than going by cycle length, which in your case is difficult to judge as it has erratic schedule.

You will know your hormonal status after some blood results.

Keep relaxed that's most important
Archie
