I’m so confused with my doctor. I feel like I have a good one but with all my bad experiences with others, I’m confused
Ok so I have hypothyroid and PCOS and my doctor wants to do a follow up in a year and she was talking about how my chances of getting pregnant unintentionally is high as well as just getting pregnant. I’m taking progesterone and my periods are finally normal for the past 6 months. She not once mentioned my weight and I weigh 255. Nothing like oh you need to loose weight then you can get pregnant. Nothing. She has in the past just said like once or twice eat healthy food, exercise, but my labs have improved and before I left she offered an air hug. She seemed proud as before I bled for a year non stop
Here’s what gets me
Before I was even diagnosed, I had a doctor tell me I have Pcos and will never have kids and oh the acne on my chin is pcos (turns out it was dirty sheets). And she said she could prescribe me a med she prescribed to military women to loose weight but insurance doesn’t cover it and it’ll cost $1,000 a month
Went to another doctor and my endo brought up my weight every time and I saw them every 2 weeks. And I was literally barely eating. Well prescribe meds here’s your options. One of them was an anti seizure med that helped with weight loss. I declined and she said I’ll fill it anyways if you choose to fill it
One gyno I had said if you choose to get pregnant will put you on metform or whatever fertility drug and I might need IVF
So now after changing doctors again and sticking with this one for a year and the encouragement and positive attitude is making me second guess everything. I kept asking her so even if In 5 years I decide I want to have kids, I can have them? Or even in a year? So I can have kids? And she said whatever works best for me, not for her. And I told her how I just never thought I could have kids and she said oh you can have kids alright. This is a good doctor right? It’s like being treated like crap in the past and someone comes along and treats you right, it feels foreign
