Thanks, Andrea! I'm still bleeding heavily so I left a message with the clinic as I thought I would only be bleeding for a couple of days after my u/s last Monday. I hope this is all normal and no procedures would be needed to stop the bleeding.

Good luck on the HSG, Linaa

If you were still on the progesterone it may just be all the lining that built up while in limbo...i hope no procedure is needed.

How have you been???? How are things moving along??

I seen Dr. P for the first time today, he didn't even introduce himself. DH and I were weirded out by him. If we go forward w/ our IUI tomorrow Dr G will do it...he has traumatized me (from the D&C w/o annes) and I am wishing Dr O was in.

Linaa - Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience with either Dr. P or Dr. G. That is the thing that sucks when your cycle falls on the weekend, you are stuck with whichever dr is on call. Great to hear that you are doing another IUI and moving forward. Hope the next 2 weeks fly by and that you will have good news to share soon.

Thanks Andrea!! Dr. G redeemed himself...he was awesome during the IUI. He swooped in and told DH to come over and look at my cervix. He then told DH to push his guys in....maybe that would be the trick for this time.

Linaa, I hope your IUI went well! Don't worry too much that it's not Dr. O who performed the procedure, I believe all the doctors in MLF are competent and know what they're doing, it's just that they have different personalities and aggresiveness with their approach.

I'm taking estradiol pills now for a possible FET cycle. I say possible, because the window is real tight with this one as my DH and I are going to be in Utah next week Monday to Wednesday and MLF's lab shuts down for a couple of weeks starting Friday next week so everything has to happen Thursday. We might bump into each other in the next few weeks with the betas and the sonograms. I pray for success for both of us

Ooops, didn't see your last post. Glad the IUI went well!

Linaa78 · 03-09-2009, 12:16 PM

Which office do you go to mainly??? I usually just follow Dr. O around lol Bryn Mawr is the closest though.

I hope the timing is great and you get to transfer.

truebluebeliever · 03-09-2009, 01:01 PM

I usually go to Bryn Mawr as it is the closest, although it's not really that close too. I've only been twice to Paoli but never been to their West Chester location. Take it easy now and hopefully you get the good news in a couple of weeks!

I'm stepping in here a bit late.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss--I also had a BO years back.
I didn't see anyone mention Dr. Steven Sondheimer from HUP. He is a fantastic RE. I moved from Philly 2 years ago so I'm not sure if he is still practicing but he is the most sincere, passionate, and caring professional I've come across in my years of IF. He hugged me during my miscarriage & rejoiced with my DS#1. I would recommend him to anyone.
At any rate, good luck with your current cycle & should you decide to switch REs, please give Dr. Sondheimer a thought.
