(-; I do think alot of this is hand-waving anyway, but this seems a little extreme. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you had to deal with this too.

Who cares? They've given discounted cycles? Big deal if inadequacy means even the discounted rate is a waste.<BR/><BR/>I'm with CCRM and I believe wholeheartedly in being in a partnership with your doctor over your care - we must be an integral part of our healthcare, ALWAYS! But the day Dr. Surrey asks ME what dosage I think he should put me on for a protocol I think I should be on is the day we part ways.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288560043939554132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-40320299521690216392009-01-18T20:07:00.000-08:002009-01-18T20:07:00.000-08:00That was a very disturbing story.

It put a ton of stress on me because I had to do all this research to make sure I was making the right decision. I guess even they think this is all a crap shoot.Jill M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03527626839439456919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-70466161324829060062009-01-18T12:32:00.000-08:002009-01-18T12:32:00.000-08:00That seems really bizarre to me.

And asking the patient the dosage?? That is wacky.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're not working with them anymore!DAVshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759565504954172751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-69625305681118691592009-01-18T10:22:00.000-08:002009-01-18T10:22:00.000-08:00You're right, it's very scary how abitrary things ...You're right, it's very scary how abitrary things sometimes seem with IVF or any infertility treatments, for that matter. Wow, this is a particularly scary example. I'm glad you changed away from that clinic. I had some worrying things happen at my local clinic too, even though they're known to be good and my RE himself is great. Once during my first (and last) Clomid cycle I was put on progesterone by my nurse without them checking that I'd ovulated, which I hadn't, and that messed me up so much that I didn't ovulate again until two months later. I've learnt that you have to watch everything like a hawk and know your stuff. No-one cares as much about getting you pregnant than you do yourself, and I live by that now. I do find it hard to do that without becoming a PITA patient, but I'd rather be that than not pregnant because of a mistake someone made.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600005716649866724noreply@blogger.com
