Nurse thought I was an idiot!!!

[meme]

So, I had my first baby dr appointment Tuesday!!! :woohoo: We aren't pregnant yet, but my Uro wanted me to meet with her to see how long I needed to wait to start trying with all the meds I'm on.
So, we're sitting in the room and the nurse says something about us being there for fertility issues, which I guessed was kinda right, so I didn't say anything. But then she pokes her head back in and says "you're not still on the Ortho-Novem Birth Control are you?" and I said "yes". And she says "How long have you been on that?" so I told her about 10yrs and she says "and how long have you been trying to get pregnant?:confused: " The way she said it she must have thought that I was an idiot trying to get pregnant on the pill for the past 10yrs!!!!!!:lmao:
I explained it to her that yes, I know that BC keeps you from getting pregnant that I was waiting to see this dr about going off of it. I'll bet that for a minute there she felt like she'd just cured me!!!!! "I know this chick's problem, she can't get pregnant because she's still on the pill!!!!":bonk:
Dr. gave us the go ahead!!!!! Told me to try Folic Acid and see if it makes me flare or not. Anyone else tolerate it? If so, how much? Thanks!!!!!!!

:biglaugh: That is hysterical! :lmao: I almost think I would've had to let her believe she cured me, just so she'd have a fantastic story to tell for the rest of her life. :D

:biglaugh: OMG Leah!!! That was just the laugh I needed for the day!! I was literally laughing out loud.

That is a story you could tell you kid when he/she gets older! I feel bad about it being funny at your expense, but I hope you are laughing too. The nurse needs to get a brain transplant.

You should have told her you thought you could get pregnant while still on the pill. :wink: Congrats on the green light!! Good luck to the both of you. :)

:lmao: You should have told her you thought it was a fertility treatment... boy, people just don't think things through sometimes.

I called an IT helpline once to find out what the error code on my computer's monitor meant, and the guy on the helpdesk said, "Ma'am, is your computer plugged in?" Uh, yeah, that's how I'm able to see this message on my screen... same mentality as your nurse. Assume everyone is an idiot. :rolleyes:

There was a gynecologist at the hospital where I worked who said he always tells his patients at their six week post-op check that they can now have intercourse --- because of another gyn who told a patient immediately after surgery to not have sex --- and two years later this same patient reported at her check-up that her husband really doesn't like the no sex routine!

Yup! There are ditzel-brains out there! More than we know......

Leah...You asked about Folic Acid. I have been taking it for years before IC and now with no problems. Hope we see a preg announcement very soon.

[kuntrygurl78]

Just so you know...Im living proof that the pill doesnt always work:woohoo:

Im also on Folic acid and do pretty good with it

Your story was funny!

I am 11+ wks pregnant and I take a generic of flinstones multivitamin that has enough folic acid, I tolerate it better then most other "adult" vitamins. Hope that helps. PM me if you have any preconception questions, I have sooooo been through it with interviewing 4 MDs, then picking one, then having to change as she was clueless etc. I have learned ALOT so far.

Good luck-

Melanie

I only took folic acid when I was pregnant because I can't tolerate Vitamin C. Generaly drugstores (CVS, Walgreens, etc) carry folic acid as a separate vitamin. I tolerated that fine.
