Ivf consult didn't go to well

RNCrystal

Met today to discuss plans just to find out the majority of ivf MDs and RNs are leaving to start a private practice that does not take my insurance! Otherwise I can drive 4.5 hours to the next hospital (not going to happen!) or wait til January when they ( hopefully ) will have more staff ! WTF! I'm starting to feel that this is NOT ment to happen. Wish I didn't waste all the time/money/emotions on iui.
Thanks for listening/ reading
Grrrrrrrr

I'm so sorry, how disappointing!!  As I get closer and closer to the cutoff point for IUI I start to feel like I've been wasting my time too, but I think if I hadn't done it I'd feel like I didn't try everything I could, you know?

If I were you I would take a mental health break until the clinic has staff again in January.  That way you can come back refreshed.  That's our plan if our next 2 IUI's fail anyway.

Good luck, and great big ((hugs))!!

I'm sorry. We have to wait a bit to do IVF and also decided to switch RE's, it's been so stressful, I know how you feel.  I took this month and possibly the next for a much needed break, I have to say the break is helping me.  Feel better.

That blows!!!  But I am wondering if maybe the monitoring could be done at the local clinic and just that actual procedures at the 4.5 hour drive clinic.  If you really want to start ASAP, it might be worth looking into.

How disappointing. Can you at least start any prep work in advance of the stims before January? (I had four weeks of meds before my "day 0" appointment for IVF). Good luck.

I'm sorry. It stinks to be stalled in taking the next step. Hoping you find peace in whatever your next decision is.

that stinks! FX they get their staff in asap and maybe you can start sooner.

So sorry that this is happening. But don't feel like you have been wasting time. You have been doing all that you could up to this point, leaving no stone unturned. I think that is the best policy. Prayers that some doors will open for this to be possible very quickly for you.

Hopefully more practitioners join the practice and fill the empty spots sooner.  Are there other clinics in your area?

Oh no! I'm so, so sorry! Hugs!

Omg that's crazy!! I'm sorry.
I don't know what I would do in that situation. 4.5 hours does seem too far though.. But waiting till January just does not seem fair! Like PPs said I guess it's a matter of enjoying some down time and maybe start BCP in December if that is part of your protocol?

Oh, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how disappointing that would be. It's just random unfairness, it can't be taken as a sign that it's not meant to be! Who knows, hopefully a really amazing RE who has just the right experience and protocol for you will be there soon.

Do you think it could be possible to start working with the practice on anything that can be done ahead of time, and get on the list (and keep calling back) so they let you know as soon as they hire a new RE so you can be patient #1?

Sorry for the frustrating appointment

RNCrystal

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and concerns. I think I will be just taking a break (mentally and physically) until January. My hubby still thinks it can happen naturally and is apprehensive about ivf. ( very unlikely) I guess I'll take the time for the 2 of us to become healthier and prepare for whatever we decide. I'm feeling completely discouraged.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I don't blame you one bit for taking a break. I hope your hubby is right! T&P's.
