Hi Anna,
Thanks so much for your support and kind words. Coincindentally I just went this morning for my post-op (post-termination) OB visit and told my doctor that I had regrets about not inquiring before terminating about other medical options there might have been for me. I asked her what other tactics they might try if I did decide to become pregnant again. She said that other than the "older" and "more tested" drugs like Phenergan they occasionally use Meclizine and Zofran as a second line of defense. She also mentioned that Zofran can cost about $40 per pill and some insurance companies cover it but some do not. That was about all she had to say, which I thought was pretty little in terms of my feeling confident that they have a plan or protocol. She did say that immediate or preconception treatment can be considered. All in all, I would still be very interested in finding someone else who was more progressive/aggressive in this field.
I live in Deep River, CT, which is about 30 miles from New Haven. As I mentioned I delivered my daughter at Yale-New Haven Hospital, which one would assume is pretty darn good. I have also heard good things from other Moms about Hartford Hospital, about 50 min. from me. I am a medical professional myself (physical therapist) and I am a great believer in the quality of medical care being far more important than convenience. Therefore, I wouldn't consider driving time to be an impediment if there was some OB within 90 min. of me worth checking out.
Thanks again for your reply. My own non-religious prayers go out to everyone on this board, and especially everyone who has yet to find this board. Being in contact with others who know this awful "disease" has been like an oasis in the desert for me.
