So, it's been three months since my lap where I had endo removed and discovered my left tube is blocked- my doctor was unable to get to whatever was in there at the time. My hubby and I opted not to go on Lupron for my endo, and decided we would try to stay away from drugs for now since I felt TERRIBLE on Clomid. I have been taking herbs, going to acunpuncture, changing my diet (for the most part), getting massages and adjustements for relaxation etc. and I have been getting monitored via ultrasound the last 2 months to determine what side I am ovulating on. Last month it was the blocked side, this month the GOOD one. Well- let me back up for a minute the reason I went to the doctor in the first place is because of my messed up cylce- I was spotting for 3-5 days before my period every month. Well, back to the story- My doctor said that prob. wasn't from the endo, and there may have been a polyp- which he took out. So, the 1st month after surgery no spotting- last month 2 days of spotting (which my doc said can be normal for some women) and this month I am VERY SAD to say I started spotting yesterday- and I thought I would be due on Monday or Tues. So I have been having yucky brown spots on and off for two days now. I am SO SAD- I can't stop crying and my husband doesn't know what to do with me. Initially, we decided to stay on this path for about 4 months and continue with the U/S and stuff... I am having second thoughts now. Maybe I need to go on strong meds to help me produce more eggs- so that I would be more likely to ov from my good side. Maybe I am making the wrong decisions... and what is wrong with my body that brown stuff has to come out of me before my period every month... sorry TMI, I know. I am sitting here, crying, just wishing I had the RIGHT answers. Sorry for the novel, I just DON'T KNOW what to do, and it helps to write this out and hear from you ladies about any advice you may have.
My doctor is very nice and supportive, and not pushy. He specializes in reproductive endocrinolgy/fertility... but I don't think he is actually an RE- he does not perform IVF. So, I don't know if I should switch doctors to an RE, stick with the natural stuff or what. So far, my ins. has covered my U/S, the appts, and Clomid- I don't know if it will cover if I go to an actual RE or not. HELP!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Is there a way you can find out if your insurance company will cover you if you go to RE?
