Three strikes and you're out



I'm finding this is my rule for evaluating RE's. Here's the history...

RE #1:
strike 1: didn't want to do anything about septum which she found on initial HSG a year ago (RE #2 ordered MRI and we learned it took up most of my ute, and as it was fibrous its presence basically guaranteed I'd never get pg, as no blood flow @ implantation site = not viable)

strike 2: insisted on giving me Clomid even though we both knew I O'd on my own (and I had lowish E2)

strike 3: botched IUI #2 by "waiting for more follies" when I had a 19.
After the IUI fiasco, she had the balls to suggest we go right to IVF. No thanks...

RE #2: (her nurse is actually a big part of the problem here)
strike 1: Dr/nurse wouldn't address my reaction to post-surgery prog (stop taking cranberry pills was their reaction to my multi-day excruciating stomach bleed)

strike 2: RE's SB vacation (or rather her insistence on doing test herself) pushed back my HSG a month (as I refused to go on BCP/lose a mo. to accommodate her schedule)

strike 3: this is shared w/RE #1 (but she was useless and #2 is actually decent), but no thought of and actually resistant to checking my post-O prog levels when I present what everyone agrees is a "fertile" profile, but am not.getting.pg.

I can't wait until the mtg. on the 4th. Needless to say, it's no longer an IVF consult (which she didn't think I "needed", but I had resigned myself to doing...)

It's probably a good thing that I decided at the last minute not to go to law school, as the main word on the tip of my tongue right now is MALPRACTICE. I need to cool down. Maybe I would have gotten further faster if I'd followed my initial plan and gone to med school. This is truly unbelievable.
