I agree with you la doctora I think he WAY over stepped a line there, it would be one thing if your T or pdoc had mentioned something on the subject, because they have a bigger insight imo, but a doctor? No,and to lecture you is way out of line, to give advice from professional perspective is one thing, but to lecture you like your a child is another, it's rather unprofessional in my opinon.

It's your body, your choice to have kids, or not, and when to have them! I probably wouldn't have handeled it as well as you did, I would have gotten spit fire mad.

I had a "friend" tell me once that I probably wouldn't make a good mom because I"m bipolar and get really unstable at times, and maybe I should reconisder my desisre to have children, needless to say we weren't friends very much longer after that, I agree with you la doctora just because someone has a mental illness doesn't mean they will make a bad parent! As long as you have your mental health in check and have a good team together, then you can be a very good parent! If you can take responsiblity for something as daunting and frustrating as managing a mental illness then I think IMO you can take responsiblity for another life as long as you are stable and have a good support group around you.
