AF arrived the very next day, 16 dpo. But that's not what I'm here to post about.
I'm here to tell you that I am soooooo sick of doctors who went to medical school and know S-Q-U-A-T!!! I'm so annoyed with the entire education system but that is a whole other subject. I'm tired of doctors slapping band aids (or progesterone or clomid) on patients and saying, "Lets see if this works." They take credit for it if it does work however, they have no interest in finding out why it worked. They don't even think that this could affect a woman's health in other ways. If it doesn't work, they try something else. Doesn't this put a woman more at risk? Why is this acceptable? Why aren't more women concerned? Why does everyone place so much faith and trust in their doctors? I am not saying that there aren't good doctors out there but all the stories I hear, I wonder how many there really are.
I'm so frustrated that NFP (& the Catholic Church) has gotten such a bad wrap that people don't logically look at NaProTechnology and how it works. Most doctors don't even know really what it is and dismiss it immediately. How discouraging! I guess because I am a investigator in nature and methodically examine things that I question how something is going to work. I guess this is what has brought me answers the past few months.
I feel bad for those who are new to RPL and/or multiple losses. I remember nobody listening to me and reassuring me that I was "normal" but they didn't do their jobs to the fullest. They didn't test for what should have been testing for. Instead I had to research the internet and read countless books to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
I do want to share that I am Catholic. However, if this was something that Judaism discovered, I would still be participating in NaPro. I'll be honest, I don't believe in a lot of what the Catholic church does or says. There are things I do agree with and NaPro is one of them. I'm just shocked at how much sense this system makes and I wish everyone going through RPL and/or infertility would seek out a fertility specialist within the NaPro system. I want everyone to get answers that I worked so hard to get as easily as I did (once I found the right doctor).
Stepping off my soap box now.

A-M-E-N!! As a protestant nurse, I totally agree with you. After reading the NaPro Technology Revolution, I do understand a little bit more of the Catholic position with regard to hormones and artifical technology, but I'm not opposed to further treatment if I need it. I really don't think I will though!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, as a fellow member of the medical community, the band-aid approach appalling and it's only getting worse. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon the NaPro approach, and to hear stories from my doctor's patients and beyond (like you!) that have been successful. Let's face it, NaPro will never have the same financial backing as Big Pharma, and that's unfortunately what drives American healthcare...booh!
