Melody,
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with IF issues, but like the other girls said, you have come to the right place.
Here's a suggestion: write down all of your questions as you think of them and then take them when you head for your appt on the 18th. This way, you are completely prepared and can write down the answers as your dr answers your questions.
Is it possible you are in early menopause??
