Went the drs today for my prescription...I'm on the pill, thyroxine and metformin.....
The dr asked if I was trying for a baby.....how many people do you know who try for a baby by taking the contraceptive pill? |

"He doesn't know that you're taking it, only that he's prescribing it.
He shouldn't prescribe it then without knowing who is taking the medicine...."
how would he know who was taking it unless you take the doctor home with you ? |

"He doesn't know that you're taking it, only that he's prescribing it."
 It could be a question that comes up in relation to other medication you're on. So not a daft question at all.
Some women may not understand their pills. They may have stopped taking the contraceptive pill but still get it because it's on the repeat prescription list. |

"My Dr prescribes me Warfarin & Tramadol but he doesn't come round ma gaff and watch me take it every night  "
he should be sacked or at the very least have his prescription pad took off him ...he should know every patients lives 24 hours a day after they leave his surgery ..deficient !!! |

None, not one single one.
I get asked if I'm pregnant everytime I have an xray or mri scan.....I'm 58. They have to ask until you're 60 now so maybe they have to ask everyone if they're trying for a baby regardless of information suggesting that they probably aren't. |

Well the surgery I attend won't prescribe meds without seeing the patient or knowing their medical history....in case of repeats a certain amount is allowed before being called in for an appt.
I'd be a little concerned if my GP prescribed me the Pill whilst asking if I was trying to get pregnant.  |

Metformin can be used by women with PCOS to help control their insulin resistance which affects their cycle, so can be prescribed at times to assist fertility.
Also the pill can be used to help force a cycle for women who may struggle to menstruate naturally, or to allow a lady to have a certain number of periods a year to ensure a healthy lining of the womb again to assist in trying for a baby... so maybe not such a daft question. |

this repeat prescription and my doctor wouldnt do it falls flat on its face if you turn up at a doctors surgery and say you are a temporary resident of that town
..they have to see you ...you can make name after name after name up and leave copious amounts of surgeries armed better than the local chemist |

Well if you put it like that maybe it isn't a daft question... 
I'd say from the OP's reaction tho she isn't being prescribed the meds for those reasons which I hope would be reflected on her records. |

the short answer is ..lots ....
their guy doesnt want a baby ...she does ..goes to the docs and gets a pack of
pills to prove it ..hes daft enough to believe it ...next thing ...ebay for christening gowns ...its a reasobable question ...doctors take the same oath as priests ..so if you were trying to trick your fella into getting pregnant you could chat to your gp about it |

"He doesn't know that you're taking it, only that he's prescribing it.
Why bother getting the prescription then?"
To convince a partner who doesn't want kids that you're taking contraceptive measures. |

"Debbie, 34, was found floating in the Dee after discovering she was pregnant"...Chester chronical newspaper.....
