Tricia,
Good for you for asking here - of many wise women who have been there - and for sticking with your intuition. We all deserve doctors who take us seriously. After all, it's OUR bodies, our lives. Medicine is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Keep looking til you find the professionals you feel comfortable working with. They are out there. You're right, it's their job - to support us, and certainly not to belittle us!

Best wishes.
Carol
