Sounds like you are trying to play doctor yourself, this guy is a professional and specialist. A Pharmacist is NOT a doctor, your doctor knows what is best for you and your baby. You need to think about YOUR baby more and not yourself!

You also keep posting here and the other forum questioning your doctors decisions, why do you keep seeing doctors if you question them? Sounds like a change of doctors is in order for you.

Just my $.02,
