Back from the new OB/GYN...

..and I feel much better about what's going on. She seems very friendly, and very knowledgeable (I know, the latter should be a given but unfortunately I felt like I knew more than my last doc!). She was able to ease my mind on a few concerns, and draw up a sort of TTC plan/time line. DH and I have a pre-TTC med issue we are resolving, and my fears about what (if any) effects it may have on our pg chances were pretty much abated. --Thank Goodness--

One concern was my waking temps being pretty low.. and she wants to just keep an eye on them cycle to cycle for consistency. If I am within the same range each cycle, and have a temp shift to indicate O, then there is no need for concern. If I don't have a high enough spike to say I Oed, or if my temps are all over the place from one cycle to the next, then we should do further testing. This being our first charting cycle, we need to chart at least 1-2 more months (if we don't get pg in that time) before we should worry about low temps.
We also discussed prenatals, and she wants me to continue with OTC for now and suggested taking them about a half hour after a meal and keeping the bottles in the fridge to help with nausea and the yucky taste. She said you won't find that suggestion in any medical journals or scientific study, but she's heard it works for some people. I think its one of those things that's 'all in your head' - just like placebo pills being effective pain relievers for some. But I'll try it.. can't hurt anything.

We set up an appt for next month for an annual, and she told me that if we get pg before then we'll keep the appt and just change it to our first OB visit. So, that'd be exciting to be able to get in before the usual 8 wks they like wait! :) Also, if we were to get pg this cycle, we'd be due on our anniversary. That'd be one sweet little anniversary gift!
So much for the glass being half-empty this go-round, my hope has been restored and I'm just as anxious/excited now as I have been in the previous cycles. Hooray!
Now if only DH would come home from work right.this.second, we'd be good to go - I do believe its O day! ;)
