At one of the first appointments with our fertility specialist, the nurse practitioner we were seeing told me not to go home and read a bunch of stuff on the internet. She handed me a few out-dated-looking pamphlets on PCOS and told me to read those instead.
Of course, I went home and immediately googled PCOS, and read tons of information from reputable sites. (I know better than to read the horror stories posted on public forums).
A few appointments later, I asked the nurse practitioner about the Letrozole she prescribed me and the studies that show it could potentially cause birth defects.
"I thought we told you not to go read a bunch of stuff online," she said.
"This wasn't a bunch of stuff online," I said. "It was a study by the NIH."
"Just take the Letrozole, and quit googling," she said.
We don't see her anymore. And I still Google the shit out of every piece of fertility information I receive.
