When I was pregnant with each of my children the ob/gyn office I went to had many doctors, both male and female. As a non high-risk pregnancy, I saw a different doctor at each visit. This gave me the opportunity to determine which doctor was best for me for non-pregnancy related visits. I chose a female because she understood my PMDD better than the male doctor did. The male doctor dismissed my feelings as if they were not important, or not true. The female asked better questions about my depression and was then able to diagnose my PMS as PMDD. I feel much more comfortable with her now. Which reminds me, I need to call for an appointment.
