My new doctor made me lose all hope
Hey y’all! I’m new to the Glow crew and really just need to vent. I recently got married and moved to another state. Finally found a new doctor and I was so excited to talk with a young doctor who may be able to keep me optimistic on my journey to start a family. When she walked in the room and heard my husband and I have been trying for 5 months to get pregnant, she immediately suggested IVF. She said “you’re 29, approaching 30 next year and you have PCOS. The odds are against you.” I just sat there in shock. She suggested my husband gets tested immediately and I go through all these tests to get the ball rolling. She suggested something called HSG... has anyone heard of that? Upon suggesting many other things. Everything she was saying just made me emotionally and psychologically shut down. My husband also seemed to be stressed but tried to keep me positive and keep reminding me that everything is in gods hands and we have to be patient and he’s with me through this all. I don’t know what to do. Do I get another doctor? Do I get a second opinion from and OBGYN? Should I see a fertility specialist? I’m so overwhelmed. I just want a baby. I sometimes feel like I disappoint my husband when month but month goes by and I’m not pregnant. Help! I need my Glow sisters 😭😭
