Hey,


Maybe some of you have read my previous posts and know a bit about me, maybe not. Anyways I saw my pdoc today and got a Dx of Bipolar II. The reason I'm happy is because not having a solid answer what was 'wrong' with me was really bothering me. I knew I had it I just needed a Dr to tell me he thinks so too. I'm not going to be taking any meds because Dh and I have been TTC for almost 2 years now and want to continue. Pdoc says that is OK as long as I continue to see him even when I'm feeling 'normal'. (After my first hypomanic episode I felt normal again for a year and didn't go back and see him). He also told me when I get hypomanic again that I can walk in and see him and I don't have to wait for an appointment.


Wow, I feel at ease now. I'm glad to have found this board, you guys are really a supportive bunch of people and I look forward to getting to know you better :)

Shortnquirky, I am so happy you are joining our family.


I know for me knowing what is wrong....I guess having it labeled helped me too. It also helps to know how to treat it. I understand the no meds with TTC. I wish you all the best with that. I know what it is like to have fertility issues.


Your doc is right, it is very important to stay in contact with him even when things are going well.


WELCOME !!!


Tina
