Sara, glad you have planned moving forward...sounds good with the holiday plan and potentially changing FS.
As you know I did the same, although with the same clinic, I didn't choose to change clinics because I think SIVF is the best, I would only go downhill to choose IVFA, so that wasn't within my consideration. But I do found that each FS has their particular techniques, so still worthwhile to explore, for me, is the transfer and FS's attitude. My previous FS never does u/s guided TF, he just checked it afterwards. But Dr. Lok is an expert on doing the external u/s guide to make sure embyro is in the right place. My previous TFs were eventful, almost everytime have to do it twice because of my retroverted uterus but with Lok, its a breeze. Plus he is willing to take male factor more seriously which was our problem at the time (high SCSA). Also the advantage of transfering within the same clinic is the paper work, they share everything, so no drama at all.
I am shocked to hear they are sacking people, I am with Julie, why don't they just sack 7? I do remember there was a new girl taking my blood a few weeks ago...I hope the one you are talking about is not Michelle, she is my favourate one.
Julie, glad you are having a break too...sounds like you are making some changes too, I hope it all works out for you...
Kel, sorry to hear that
DH's lack of interest of keep going. I have to say, this TTC journey is not for faint hearted, it is tough road as we all know. It is hard for them to understand what exactly we are going through. Just the other day,
DH has to do an u/s to check vericolcele (?spelling) and suddenly he can kind of related what I've been through physically during the cycle and how I feel, I was quite surprised when he told me that and at least he showed some empathy...I think anyone who has gone through serveral cycles of IVF are tough women, but that doesn't neccessarily say we don't need support, especially the partners. I truely hope you can have a heart-to-heart talk with
DH and reach some kind of agreement, TTC journey is already tough enough, I really don't want to see you doing this yourself. Would he want to be involved say if you are going down the donor egg/embyro path?
