One big long medical day
Today was one big long medical appointment but all with good outcomes and excitement. I started off the day going to the med doc who designed a tapering schedule for me to come off my meds that (was almost exactly like the one I did up on my own). Who should be paying who...:)???
My goal is to try and come off of all of my meds. All I can do is take it one day, one reduction at a time. Anyway if I can manage the taper schedule I will be all set to go at the end of April. If I need to both she and my OB/GYN said they are completely comfortable with me on a low dose of Zoloft if it makes it easier for me (if I need it). I much prefer not to but they were comforting and knowlegeable about it if I need to.
Switiching to appointment #2 - off Adam and I went to the OB/GYN. He was so awkward it was cute and I was completely clothed the whole time (no exam for this visit) it was just to talk about what screening and diagnostic tests are available so we can decide what we think about it all and talk about preconception stuff in general. Of course she gave me the BIGGEST HONKING prenatal vitamins ever. She said because of the diabetes it can only help me to start taking them now. Can you say welcome to nausea? I have never been able to take even a one-a-day without the queasies but again, I will do what ever I have to.
The last doctor appointment to cover for all of my pre visits is the Endocrinologist next week. Phew - then it is just a matter of doing what I need to do and then around the end of April beginning of May hope that all the years of trying not to get pregnant turn themselves around!
I am still debating on which Insulin pump to use.....pros and cons to both. As much as I like the idea of no tubing I am very much leaning toward this one that I have alredy posted about.
Sorry if my posts are not the usual thrill a minute *ROFLMAO* that they usually are. This is just a huge part of my life right now and I just find it helpful in relaxing if I can "dump" out all the thoughts here.

Two things. First to answer you...as long as I possibly can....
Second...I'm so glad Adam went with you. It's in my mind completely necessary. :-)
I could never take the prenatal vitamins because they made me so sick. I found a basic multi vitamin that had enough folic acid (I forget the recommended abount of micrograms but you could look that up.)
Dump here all you want!
It is exciting to follow your journey :)
Okay, so now I know what an insulin pump is. I guess I should have read this one first!
