TTC..Going to the Dr. today and need advice....?

I鈥檓 23 and my husband is 25. We have been trying to conceive #1 for 18 months now with no luck. My cycles are very regular and we are both healthy (don鈥檛 drink, smoke etc.). I have an appointment with my ob/gyn today that also specializes in infertility. Are there any specific questions I should ask him? What do you think they will do today?TTC..Going to the Dr. today and need advice....?
Hopefully they will also schedule a Semen Analysis for your DH. Men are just as likely to have fertility problems as women. I know we aways thing it must be us mucking up the process but that is not always the case. As mentioned there will likely be blood work etc. for you and probably just describing the process and different types of tests etc. On a side note let me recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I read that book about a month before my scheduled appointment for the infertility clinic and was able to cancel my appointment due to a BFP thanks to everything I learned in that book. It's mostly stuff your doctor will never tell you that can help.TTC..Going to the Dr. today and need advice....?
Take a list of your last few cycles, to give him/her an idea of your regularity, and BBT charts if you have them. Also have a pencil and notepad handy, to write down the long complicated words and acronyms that they'll lay on you but which you'll have forgotten by the time you get home :) Good luck!
they will probably just do a pelvic, go over your lifestyle and order some blood work and maybe an ultrasound.





good luck, it's hard even when you are healthy.
I just had an appointment with my doctor to discuss TTC. She ordered a full panel blood screen and an ultrasound. That way we check my hormone levels and get a look at my ';equipment';. I go in for results this week.

Taking urine HCG test tomorrow at dr. need some advice...experiences and opinions welcome!!!?

after suspected implantation bleeding ( light pink and brown only when i wiped for less than 48 hours) I tested yesterday afternoon and got a neg..... my spotting was on the 9th and 10th.





Tomorrow first thing in morning the dr is giving me a urine test, even though i took one yesterday and it was neg.





Is there anything i can to tonight do to make the hormone very strong....or make the test more accure?





if i had spotting 5 days ago would it work???





HELP!Taking urine HCG test tomorrow at dr. need some advice...experiences and opinions welcome!!!?
I dont think there is too much you can really do, other than hold your bladder for four hours before the test, or use first morning urine. If you have been charting bbt, cm, etc. take that information with you. Other than that Baby Dust!Taking urine HCG test tomorrow at dr. need some advice...experiences and opinions welcome!!!?
I've heard that taking progesterone could actually help the baby ';stick'; so to speak but that must first be discussed w/your Dr. Adding progesterone can jack up your cycle and I am speaking from experience. I added to my daily regimen w/out consulting anyone but the internet and it made me skip a cycle. I wish you luck, but do some research on the topic of Progesterone and bring up to your Dr. when you see them. I only suggest it if you're going to be under the care of a Dr

Is it illegal to give medical advice (if you aren't a DR.) on Yahoo answers?

Well, I would tell you, but I can't legally give legal advice since I'm not a lawyer. Well I could, but I could potentially be liable if you took my advice and got into some sort of trouble over it. Also, it is kind of stupid to ask something that requires an expert opinion on Yahoo answers (medical advise, legal counsel, etc.)Is it illegal to give medical advice (if you aren't a DR.) on Yahoo answers?
no its not illegal ,people offer advice to others through out life as long as the recipient uses their common sense and also seeks medical advice where neededIs it illegal to give medical advice (if you aren't a DR.) on Yahoo answers?
It's not illegal as long as you don't claim to be a medical doctor when you are not.
If they ask, you have the right to give. Just don't claim to be a doctor!
It may depend on the nature of the medical advice. ';Try this drug'; or if you try to position yourself as an MD.
As long as we don't falsely profess to be a medical doctor n charge a fee for our advice/time, I believe it's ok.
If you check the terms %26amp; conditions it states that the answers are only opinions not facts
i would not of thought so unless you give the false impression that you are some kind of expert.
No, not illegal. If you are pretending to be an M.D. and give out info that could cause someone harm, you may have a problem.
Legal? I don't think the government is going to bust you for doing it unless you claim to be a doctor. But you could get sued.





I'd just use lots of disclaimers, such as:





';THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. BEFORE TRYING ANY TREATMENTS DISCUSS THEM WITH A MEDICAL DOCTOR.';
That's just what it is, advice, so I think it's ok. As long as the asker is aware not to take all answers completely or at all seriously.
NO it is not illegal. But, you do leave yourself open for a law suit if the person receiving the advice follows your advice and gets hurt.
No but it's probably crazy to accept it.
nope


you ask


you get
Read the disclaimer, Skippy.
Not illegal! but I think you should think 100 times before giving a REAL medical advice because you'll be responsible for the others life!
Not if you are refering to something that has happened to you that you are trying to share exp. on. ,or if you state you looked up the info in a book, web etc...
Oppinions and helpful suggestions are fine, but I believe it's illigal even if the person IS a doctor.
Yahoo guidelines just say you can't use false credentials. You can't tell people you're a doctor if you are not but you can give advice on any subject. Here are the rules:http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_鈥?/a>
It is illegal to give medical advice, ie, diagnosing, medicine suggestions . . . in all situations, not just on Answers.





The correct answer always is ';Talk to a doctor';.
you ask some good questions(i looked at your previous ones)- but this is not one of them!





What kind of fool would risk their life to take medical advice from an unknown?
Not if it's peoples opinions. Or if they have gone through similar situations.
Medicale advise - it is advaice of a doctor. Other - it is just advaice :)
No, due to implied consent. The asker realizes that the person answering the question is most likely not going to be a licensed professional.

    Been to dr mant imes for panic attacks, need advice??

    okay ive been to my dr many times for panic attacks in the evenings and anxiety(i have postpartum depression. He keeps upping my SSRI. Why wont he just give something that works like xanax?Been to dr mant imes for panic attacks, need advice??
    Is this your regular doctor .. or is this a psychiatrist? Hopefully you are seeing a therapist who can help you overcome the panic attacks .Been to dr mant imes for panic attacks, need advice??
    It's been my experience that most doctors don't really care about you, and instead keep prescribing more meds because they gain money from them. If you're looking for something that works like Xanax, why not just ask the doctor to prescribe Xanax to you?





    As for anxiety/panic attacks, find out what triggers these attacks and try to lessen your involvement with these triggers. It also helps to try to drop the stress levels in your life, and take each day as it comes, and not to worry too much about the future.
    I started with my doctor. He checked to make sure I didn't have a mitral valve prolapse or an overactive thyroid and I didn't. So, we concluded I had anxiety. I started Lexapro 10 mg and Xanax .25 3 times a day. It helped, but not fully. I started with a therapist 2 weeks ago and he upped me to Lexapro 20 mg and Xanax.5 3 times a day. The upped xanax is only supposed to be for a short time. He doesn't want me on it very long. I suggest you go to another doctor. Mine had no problem writing me xanax. Honestly, I would have probably killed myself if I didn't have it this whole experience. I would really try another doc, because obviously this one doesn't understand the terror that people with panic disorders deal with. I sympathize with you, but if you see the right doc and get on the right meds, you WILL get better.
    would like to suggest you a fantastic way using which you can end panic atttacks for ever.Imagine you never worrying about panic attacks and life will be so good. I am feeling the same thing after having this. This does not require you to take any medications or any phils or any doctor. You can jsut do it your self and with in 2 days you will be out of that

    Xanax is the last thing you want. It is highly addictive and can lead to much worse problems than anxiety. Get the facts:

    Try a psychologist, instead of throwing pills at your problem, they actually help you solve it. Ask about Cognitive Therapy.
