Way to go Lily --> Being well informed and knowing what are the options keeps the doctor's more aware and might NOT resist about talking about what they know even if it is a little technical for us.
It would be a good idea to write notes what you want to talk with the doctor before you get in his office. (You might already be doing it, but this is something I liked from someone's recommendations in one of the other posts). This is because we tend to forget when we are at the doctor's office
