I had a doctor's appointment today for a routine pap test, and I asked if I could be tested for Celiac. This doctor isn't the same doctor that diagnosed me with IBS 12 years ago, so she didn't know my history. She said it was a very good idea to be tested for Celiac when you have IBS - it was nice to actually have a doctor AGREE with something I asked for - LOL.
And she asked me if I was planning on having any kids anytime soon. I said as a matter of fact, yes, we want to start TTC maybe sometime in the summer. So she gave me the whole "TTC talk" (pre-natals, how long I'll have to be off the pill, etc.), and is sending me for a few routine pre-TTC blood tests that apparently are recommended now. For the first time, the thought that I will be TTC in a few months has just become very real!
