3-16-18 6w4d- OBGYN VISIT!

Courtney saw the PA instead of the OB for this visit because the doctor was on vacation.  She agreed to progesterone 3x a day and lovenox injections 40ml once a night but had to get permission from OB for these medications.  Courtney was very discouraged because the doctor filling in was an old doctor of hers that refused to give her the injections in the past resulting in miscarriage! They started her on Prenatals with DHA and extra folic acid and the progesterone.  However, Courtney was right and the on call doctor would not prescribe her the lovenox shots. Courtney continued to take aspirin each day to thin her blood for the MTHFR since she had to wait to see the doctor when he came back from vacation. Other medications include staying on  metformin (sugars), methyldopia for blood pressure, Synthroid for thyroid and low dose aspirin. She stopped tramadol and lyrica for Fibromyalgia and Cymbalta for depression.   At this visit they also took a second blood draw for HCG, results will come in tomorrow.
