Trouble TTC

Changing RE?

So for anyone who's changed doctors...is there typically a way to go about it?  Do you just take a break from one and try a new one?  Or do you try to see both for a bit?  Seems tricky to see both at the same time, but I'm anxious to just cut ties with my current docotr since she knows my history more.

 Basically, I'm at the point where I had my HSG test and it showed partial blockage in my tubes.  But she still wants to just move forward with clomid and IUI...this makes me a bit worried since that's a lot to take on when even the xray dye had trouble getting through.  So I'm considering trying out a new RE that at least is better about explaining things to me.  My visits with my current RE just seem rushed and I walk out more confused.

 Am I the only one that feels confused and rushed with the RE visits?  Or am I just going to a place that doesn't have the best personal attention?  Do I see my current RE to get more questions answered while I try a new RE?  Or just cut ties for a bit and start fresh somewhere else?

Re: Changing RE?

  • I was in a little bit of a different place when I switched REs.  I had pretty much all of my testing done with my OB/GYN before I ever saw RE #1.  We didn't get to do any treatment with RE #1 because it was her treatment plan that made me wan

  • I changed REs because I was not happy with their communication, follow up, or simply compassion for what they were doing (they answered their cell phone during a appt when they were telling me I may have a brain tumor!!!) Anyway, I just requested a cop

    *FET #3 (04/2014) was cancelled after finding Chronic Endometritis
    *Miraculous BFP July 2014!! (I was taking baby aspirin and Cabergoline to stay regulated while "taking a break from TTC" and waiting to consult with a reproductive immunologist!!!) 

    Our healthy baby girl was born 03/10/15 thanks to daily Lovenox injections and baby aspirin. There are no words for how grateful I am for our rainbow baby. <3
  • I was in the same situation in January. First RE wanted to do surgery, so I saw someone else for a second opinion. Found out I didn't need surgery, and thought I'd start working with that new RE. Well he turned out to have some strange procedures when
