Well I suffer with anxiety disorder, have done since the birth of my first DS over 3 years ago. I am going back to see him to discuss coming off my meds, like how to wean off them with a view to TTC later this year (Sept/Oct/Nov hopefully!) and when I tell him I'm hoping to start TTC I will tell him honestly how I feel. Like how I can't seem to get past this need for a DD and its been there since DS1 arrived when I thought he was a girl and it took longer to bond with him as a result - not disappointment exactly but that massive surprise just had a long lasting effect on how I felt and definitely contributed to my need for medication post natally. He's usually great for being sympathetic so I am just being hopeful at this point. I might be barking up the wrong tree entirely but I'm a terrible liar so honesty is the way to go for me!Quote:

I am also a terrible liar but I will be stretching the truth. I have literally a 3 month window (2 really, the 3rd as a last ditch attempt). The part im lying about is the length I've been Ttc. They will not help us here if we've been trying less than a year (I think it's 6months after a certain age though...) so I'm going to say 9 months and that I only have this window.

PLEASE ladies, DO NOT go and tell your doctor that this is for gender swaying. They will a) not believe you anyway as this is not common knowledge and b) immediately decide they will not give it to you because that seems to be the way that most doctors roll. They either hand it out indiscriminately or refuse it even when medically indicated just from sheer cussedness :/
Go in, tell them you have been TTC for a year unsuccessfully and/or that your cycles are really long and irregular and/or that your LP is short but don't act like you're reading it off a list, either. Don't mention the C word, don't mention that you want a girl, you just want a baby and you need their help to get it. They will USUALLY prescribe Clomid (not always, but usually). If they don't, say thank you and leave the office. If they want to do bloodwork first, that's ok, if they want to do it that day, you have a pressing engagement that you cannot miss, if they want to schedule you a different day you can tell them that something came up and you changed your mind about TTC. If you end up having to go through with it, just be like "oh gosh how wonderful I had a nice normal cycle, that hasn't happened in forever."
DO NOT go in asking for Clomid and/or freaking out if they don't give it to you. You'll never get it that way.
That sounds like a good idea. And roughly the truth too which is always good ;) I think I will just let it play out and see what happens when I bring it up. We are a long way off ttc just yet, well around 6 months so I'm going to try and make a decent attempt at our sway. Working up my exercise time (45 mins walking again tonight, that's the third this week) and cut red meat, drinking slightly more caffeine than usual, being as laidback as my personality will allow lol. That's a hard one!! If closer to our attempt I feel I could say it to my doc and have a reasonable shot of getting it then I will ask. Though that being said DH isn't overly keen on the possibility of multiples so we will just have to see. A friend of mine was ttc for 6 months and cried in her doctors office, she came out with a script for Clomid. You never can tell!!Quote:

My doctor would do the blood work there and then so if avoiding bloodwork is the way to go maybe I'd be best not mentioning anything regarding ttc to my doctor...Quote:

I know that it can be hard to get it in Canada, so I am looking online. I'm wondering now if anyone else (hopefully in Canada) has bought online with success.
Like I would literally drive to Buffalo or Detroit from where I am to be able to get this stuff. I'm very tempted to try and get an American friend to work with me on this, but my closest on is in Vermont. Or maybe Ohio.

This is a completely stupid question I'm sure but is Clomid easily available in the US?Quote:

They had another girl and then a final boy recently. He fully believes that diet is key - if I hadn't heard of this website I think my mind would have been blown to hear someone talking that way! Let alone someone in the medical profession!!! As I left the office he was loudly telling DH to make sure to have a "good 3 or 4 more" kids lol. DH was less than impressed ;)
No, but some people's doctors want to do blood work and then they panic over it because they really are ovulating normally. I'm just explaining what to do in that scneario.Quote:
