Relka - I am never ceased to be amazed at how insenstive people can be. Just this AM, as I was having, oh 8 viles of blood taken by the phlebotomist, she asked if I was trying for a baby. I said yes, and of course she said things happen when you don't try. She pretty much suggested I take a vacation too! Of course I didn't want to be rude and say "well, if I ovulated that would be a plan but I need medical intervention." She did say I was seeing the right Dr. for help, so who knows.

My consult with the other Dr. is next week. When I popped by his office to drop off my medical records, the nurse said that they have sucess with patients who even had prior unsuccessful IVF cycles. She said "everyone now a days is doing IVF." I can see where she's coming from, and when I first started seeing an RE, my first one said he did stress that IVF would have the highest success for me, given my age, etc. I liked my current RE, since she was fine with starting with stim meds only, but after the first round (no slow and low for me) being hyperstim, and the second one going the same way, switching to IVF made the most sense, not only for my comfort level (hoping I would not have to go through multiple rounds, but two down and ? to go so not quite what I thought) but also decreases the chance of high order multiples. My ovaries start off slow, but they catch up with a bang!
