I have started to look for the bigger 'programs' and have already picked a new one. I was already feeling a bit shaky about her but when she obtained a pre-authorization from my insurance company I decided to give her 'small' practice a chance. I was originally there for a tubal reversal. I hadn't found any other doctor here in this state to do one. Once she told me it couldn't be done due to where my tubes were cut I was gonna leave to go to the 'big' practice for IVF but then she got the insurance approval. Maybe the IVF was her plan all along and to just milk my PPO to fund her small practice for a few months.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568923839420111057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603275440434056470.post-18426480306354523282012-07-17T13:14:25.557-04:002012-07-17T13:14:25.557-04:00I have learned no matter what you need to follow y...I have learned no matter what you need to follow your gut....I recently switched doc bc my gut just wasn't happy and I would question everything she did...even though she was supposed to be "one of the best in the country". Turns out she did screw up two of my cycles.

If you have to try a 2nd round of IVF, I would suggest asking around for personal referrals for a new doctor with more of a support staff. But I hope you won't have to worry about that!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132244688635245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603275440434056470.post-53089340522581625192012-07-17T11:55:39.858-04:002012-07-17T11:55:39.858-04:00I started the stims (Menopur and Gonal-F) last tue...I started the stims (Menopur and Gonal-F) last tuesday. It was CD24. I thought that was odd but she is the RE. and to KelBel, nope no nurse. Her practice is small and it seems like the Office Manager wears a lot of hats but I don't think there's a nurse there.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568923839420111057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603275440434056470.post-56263390834319944922012-07-17T11:17:57.264-04:002012-07-17T11:17:57.264-04:00I agree with Toni, the ER seems early.

Please remember that ea...Here from Toni's blog. Please remember that each person is different with IVF and will respond a bit differently to each protocol. To answer your question, in a natural cycle, CD1 is where you shed your uterine lining, but your ovaries also start growing a follicle/follicles that will be released with you ovulate (this can change month-to-month, but many medical professionals still think of this as CD14). So the first part of this IVF process is to focus on stimulating your ovaries. As time goes on, your lining will build, but it happens pretty quickly. <br /><br />The big thing in all of this is to remember that the rules from the natural cycle don't really apply here, as they are introducing hormones into your body. What I would focus on at the moment is where you're at with the stimulation process. How long have you been on the meds? Don't worry too much about things growing slowly, just focus on the fact that they are growing. Retrieval is always tentatively scheduled, so that day can move easily.<br /><br />Good luck today with your appointment!Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603275440434056470.post-52034297649253840942012-07-17T10:05:39.627-04:002012-07-17T10:05:39.627-04:00I know that every clinic and RE has different prot...I know that every clinic and RE has different protocol and guidelines but that retreival day seems a little early to me.
