Went to my new PCP today, and here are some notes:<\/p>\n
My weight: 135lbs
\nBlood pressure: 122\/70 (I need to research this, I have no idea what it means)<\/p>\n
He was concerned about me being on Celexa. Zoloft is a class B for pregnancy, and he said that doctors generally prefer pregnant patients switch to that. But he also mentioned that either way it’s an SSRI, so… I’m not really convinced that Celexa would be any more dangerous. It’s only a class C because less research has been done on that particular drug. I’ve talked to other women who stayed on celexa during their pregnancy with no problems whatsoever, and I am quite leery of switching to another drug and risking having an emotional crash and burn. But I’ll talk to my new gyno and make my decision after that. If Zoloft does the same thing for me then it shouldn’t be a big deal. But I don’t know.<\/p>\n
I asked the doctor if he will want to see me when I get pregnant, he said no – the gyno he recommended is very capable and will handle me more than adequately during my pregnancy (and delivers babies, he said :D ). I also asked if his office sees children patients, and he said no. He said where he takes his<\/i> kids is a pediatric office which happens to be right down the street from us on the main road – it’s the one I had made note of when searching on the insurance company’s website. He said they have very long hours, open 7 days a week, and are very good. So I’ll definitely be going there.<\/p>\n
Now I just have to make an appointment with the new gyno. Hope that goes well. I should have done that months ago after my initial appointment with the gyno I didn’t much like, but… meh. I’m lazy, what can I say. I will say that, whatever this new gyno says about my meds, I’ll not be putting TTC on hold for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
