My doctors office called today. First they were going to postpone my appointment, but then they called back and said they could reschedule it for tomorrow.
So tomorrow is the big day. I get to ask all my questions and see if I will be able to taper off my meds in 4-6 weeks. First my husband and I need to have physicals to make sure we're healthy enough to get pregnant. Then we will go for there. I will ask to see my NP again in 4-6 weeks.
Here are some of the questions I am going to ask my NP.
*How often during my pregnancy will I have to see a psychiatrist? (I will stop seeing my NP once pregnant and start seeing a different doctor--it's my doctor's office policy).
*Will I be allowed to take Tegretol after the first trimester? Or a different mood stabilizer if needed?
*Once I give birth, will I start seeing my NP again?
*Do we have to go through genetics testing before TTC? (I have some information on this I will post at a later time).
About Me
- Samantha
- I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 22, soon after my mother passed away and right before my wedding. My husband and I were planning on trying to have a baby right away, but once I was diagnosed, we knew the plans had to change. So here is my journey of trying to learn about being Bipolar and pregnancy and especially, a bipolar pregnancy, all before getting pregnant myself.
