Kelly, I am sorry about your miscarriage. Fortunately I had my three children before I started having issues. Yes my new doctor seems to understand. I still have my left ovary but he told me it is buried in adhesions and they pulled it back into my bowels. I ask him if since it isn't "out" where it belongs if that is why I am suffering a few menopausal symptoms lately (night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings) and said it is possible, gave me an estrogen patch to try (which is helping). I thanked him profusely for his understanding and help. He said "it's your body, you know what you need" I said "you don't know how many doctors I have been to who claim I don't know what I need!"
