I have found the xanax to be a life saver. It can be just taken as needed, calms things down in 20 minutes, it may make you tired though. After the loss of my twins, I was taking 4-6 5mg xanax a day-I needed it. Now, I pretty much just take one at night. Maybe once or twice a week, I'll take one during the day if things are bad.
Prozac is one of the safer ones to take while pregnant. Its technically a class c, which means they aren't sure. I did a lot of research on ad's and pregnancy and decided it was better to have a calm, happy mom albeit mildly drugged for lack of better word. Than to have a non medicated irrational, depressed and anxious mom. I found that if you ask 10 different doctors about their opinions on ad's and pregnancy, that you will likely get 10 different answers. If I ever try to get pregnant again, I will continue my ad's.
The tests so far sound good. I would also ask about a 7 day post ovulation progesterone test. Low progesterone can cause weight gain and depression along with miscarriages and several other things. How old are you? If you are over 30, I would ask about a cycle day 3 FSH level, another blood test to measure your ovarian reserve. Also, the last re I saw said she would test my thyroid monthly while pregnant because sometimes the pregnancy can cause it to fluctuate.
