But I think out loud and these are my thoughts.

Though he doesn't name names, my RE is full of bad things to say about the way that some other people do business, mismanage cycles, don't monitor properly, overdo certain meds, etc.<BR/><BR/>I've also known long-time infertiles who had strong feelings about the pros and cons of each clinic/doc. I know one woman who had IVFs at 7 different clinics, and was convinced that everyone except #7 (my first RE, actually, world-famous Dr. Fancy Pants) was totally incompetent. Of course, #7 was the one that resulted in a baby. Did competence lead to success, or did success lead to perception of competence? Probably both.<BR/><BR/>Personally, having been to a different clinic since Dr. Fancy Pants because I moved to a new city, there are a lot of things he did wrong, like not doing an HSG until after I'd failed several clomid cycles. Assessment was my reason for coming in the first place!<BR/><BR/>If I were in your position, I would cycle now, but I would start looking into new clinics to move the process along for future cycles. In theory, there shouldn't be that much lead time at a new clinic because they can use all of the existing test results and info from other cycles.Baby Smiling In Back Seathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483533946303787478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620726426762951650.post-41036558169698127872008-07-25T13:54:00.000-07:002008-07-25T13:54:00.000-07:00Under the circumstances, I think you are doing mar...Under the circumstances, I think you are doing marvelously well. Try to cut yourself some slack. I don't think there is a right or wrong decision. You are making the only decision you can right now and that's all that matters.
