I have been seeing the same OB/GYN for about two years now. Her name is May Chambers and she is AWESOME! The only problem is that she decided to take a leave of absence from her practice starting in August. I got the news at my last annual and was totally devastated. She is by far the best OB/GYN that I have ever gone to. She is super smart and way nice and was always able to fit me in the same day if I had an issue. She is likely not going to be back in the office until next Spring which means that I'm going to have to find someone else to see in the event that my efforts are fruitful. There are several other doctors at the clinic Dr. Chambers was at that would be able to see me which would be good because then they have my last two years of gynecological history and can act accordingly. The only problem is that I would be shooting blind because I have no idea how good they are or if they are as nice/accomodating etc.
My other option is that I could just see my general practioner. His office is right across the street from my work and I could pop over there for whatever I need without taking much time off of work. The bad part about this is that while he is a pretty good doctor, I have no idea how much he knows about obstetrics and gynecology. Also, I tend to be more uncomfortable around guy doctors for some reason. Maybe it's because I know that they don't really understand what we're going through because they've never been through it themselves.
I know that I don't really have to look for someone until after I'm reasonably sure that I'm pregnant, but I'm still worried about it now. Do I take a stab at somebody new and hope it works out okay or do I stick with what I've got and hope he knows what he's doing? Or do I just ignore it until I have to make a decision?
Blah... parenting is hard and I don't even have a fertilized egg yet.
