Verbal Diarrhea

Dear Reader(s),

Thanks to your fabulous advice and tasty comments (along with a small helping of brains on my part) I have concocted a master plan which is subject to change without notice. Here's the scoop 'o poop:

1. The soonest appointment I was able to make with an ob/gyn was May 7th. According to my complicated calculations involving my fingers and a little cervical mucus (totally kidding!!) I will be WAY past ovulation by then, making this cycle a bust before I even got to enjoy a round of thoroughly deep dicking. And that sucks.

2. The soonest I was able to make an appointment with MY ob/gyn was the end of May. Which meant that by the time I am able to switch medications allegedly given to me on that day I will be past the fertile time of my NEXT cycle. Please remember (for fuck's sake) that this ob/gyn I have only seen once anyway because I moved from San Diego a year ago. My old one was only good for my annual visit and not much else. I fucking hated her a little bit. Another post. Remind me sometime okay?

3. Certain RAD and AWESOME readers mentioned that I probably would not get the drugs I wanted from an ob/gyn even if I went down on him/her and my best bet would be to visit my regular doctor, which of course I left in San Diego. I really need some new doctors, huh? My San Diego doctor (not pussy doctor, just general practice doctor) was also very highly demanded and getting appointments was a pain in the ass which would lead me back to numbers 1 and 2.

4. I have gone to the local Urgent Care a few times since moving to *redacted* and noticed that there was a "normal" doctor in the same office. Meaning EASY! and CLOSE! and in my network so CHEAP! I couldn't remember the name of the place and couldn't be bothered to attempt to find paperwork to get a phone number so I just drove the 1/2 mile to Urgent Care and made an appointment for Monday afternoon. WOOT!!

5. I have two Rx for my asthma, Albuterol and Qvar. My fibro specialist does not feel comfortable refilling them. Although he'll gladly hand over Rx for vicodin and darvocet like they are yummy for my tummy. I am on the last refill of my Qvar and I will end up in Urgent Care without it. The only solution is to find a regular doctor or a pulmonologist. I try to avoid doctors with specialties. It creeps me out. I'M NOT SPECIAL DAMMIT!!

6. I looked up the medications I really want to keep taking on Safe Fetus (thanks Amanda!) and HOLY FUCK with the extra digits and cleft palate and I just couldn't keep reading any more. Everything there IS scary.

So! I may save this cycle and create a fetus playmate for my knocked up friends. Yay for me. While you are giving me input, I have a specific pregnancy/medication advice request: I want to switch my anti-depressant/anxiety medication to one more baby friendly. I would like to have some information in hand when I go to my appointment on Monday so I can say, "Well my friends inside the computer said..." My current prescription is for 60mg per day of Cymbalta, however I am taking 30mg at this time due to ramping down medications for impending fertilization (please and thank you oh gods of babydom).

The reason for this particular drug is that the fibro pain can be alleviated by the Cymbalta AND I tend to be anxious due in large part to the fibro. Thanks fibro!! I never found the pain relief side to work, however I might have needed to take more than that dosage according to my fibro specialist (one specialist is enough, thank you). Um, where was I? Oh yes. Need drug for anxiety. I have taken: Effexor (FUCK NO!), Celexa (have 3 month supply sitting in drawer), Lexapro, and Wellbutrin (to quit smoking) in the past. The Wellbutrin was horrible - don't give the anxious chick uppers! Any suggestions? Bueller?
