Kel - so sorry that you also have to battle (so to speak) with
DH as well - as if it's not tough enough already. I can't really complain about my
DH, but I will say that he hasn't read 1 thing - nada - not 1 of the handouts, nothing on the web, etc. It became so apparent after the meeting we had today with New FS - I understood everything because of bellybelly and all the other time I put into researching what protocols different places use etc. I also knew of every single supplement she said he should take (I'll post these tonight in case anyone is interested). But I would expect your husband to be supportive - do you think that there's a chance that he is really devastated and disappointed, but has not been able to communicate this in a productive way, so this is his way of dealing with it? I often find that my
DH has been thinking about things and mourning in his own way - but I find out well after the fact when all along I thought he was just rolling with the punches.
CP - that's interesting that the 2 drs at the same clinic are so different - I don't think that is the case at Melb IVF, but I'm not sure. I did always feel like I was just being sent down a stand path (try A, if A doesn't work, try B, if B doesn't work, try C - with the A, B,
Cs being stock standard), and not because my FS was lazy or anything like that - she's a very caring person who always explained the reasons, but I kept on getting the sense that the approach was behind the times (before I had info on Monash and Meredith's recommendation, I gave a lot of thought of going to Syd for treatment as I have heard really, really good things). Good luck tomorrow.
