Here we go again! A week ago she goes into this whole spiel about not stressing about getting pregnant, change her diet, etc.
Today she says she’s called and made an appointment with a dr because she’s extremely late but hasn’t taken a pregnancy test. Again she doesn’t say what her level was only low to zero. She says that she still hasn’t started taking the progesterone that was prescribed. She wants to do it on her own and has had that weird taste in her mouth, which could be a sign of pregnancy (?).
He’s really working the clickbait to save this channel. I’m really curious what they do all day, since now his job is to do laundry. It really helps his anxiety to be so organized! He’s an idiot. Corbin, get a job and that might help relieve anxiety!
I'm so confused. I'm not going to watch the video because I know it'll be a bunch of garbage, but how is Kelsey "extremely late" when she doesn't even know her average cycle length? What doctor would allow her to make an appointment without her having taken a pregnancy test? When I called to make my first appointment, I had had my GP give me a blood test and they wanted a confirmation of pregnancy before my first appointment if at all possible. They also wouldn't even see me until I was 8 weeks along. I feel like most doctors would at least have told Kelsey to take a pregnancy test and then get back to them. But since this whole thing is fake, whatever.
According to her this would be an appointment to get a consultation and a full hormone panel done as a follow-up to the progesterone test results, not a prenatal appointment. I'm still not sure an OB is the right doctor for her to see, they're not hormone docs or infertility specialists, so I think that's why it's confusing. I booked my first prenatal appointment with my OB for the 8 week mark after a positive home pregnancy test, and they sent me to a lab to get blood work done prior to that appointment.
The stupidity is painful at this point. Say she does have PCOS and really long cycles. Four months trying to conceive might only be two cycles. The best thing she could do is track ovulation, but it sounds like she can't be bothered. And I call BS on her being "late" and not testing. If she has any worries about her hormone levels or issues with her endocrine system, she has to know that she needs to find out ASAP and get blood work done if she was pregnant. Their expectations and how they're going about this is so weird to me.
There's definitely a TTC community and demand on YouTube. If they were informed and logical and not just click bait, they could be sharing some useful content that might actually grow their channel. I watched a couple videos on how to temp and track your cycle, when to test, etc. before I started. Instead they're just being deceptive and dumb.
