Hi Sabrina,
I myself was taken off it as I bleed thru and had awful migraines and just felt awful.
My specialist advised me that it just doesn’t work well on some women.
I must say I was glad to be off of it.
My opinion on the second opinion is that I truly believe that if you don't feel 100%
comfortable, secure you are  in the least bit, questioning of the doctors advice or
treatments, it is always in your best interest to get another’s advise.
You should however, tell them everything that your other doctor knows so he/she
 is making their opinion based on the same facts.
I am glad with the way you are feeling that you didn't have to deal with THE NURSE!
Also, It really doesn't matter who or if anyone is getting sick of you calling,
 If you have questions, that is their job, to answer yours. They WORK for YOU.
My Doc just told me that today when I told him how rudely the other doc in his
 office treated me while he was gone. So , he is right and we forget this,
we do pay them.
Hope you feel better soon, Loretta
