Picked up a copy of my Medical records

krissyh21 · February 2009

And I am all ready for my new doctor come wednesday.

I read through all my reports and there is no NOT A SINGLE note on my egg quality for either of my IVFs. How can you take a total of 15 eggs out of a persons body and not make a single note of how the hell they looked? All it says is transfered 2 on day 3 - 1 blast made it to freeze and nothing else.

No notes on fragmentation, no notes on what happened to the 7 that died - no notes on anything about my eggs. I just don't get it?

So I am really looking forward to meeting this new doctor. And hopefully he will be more open about everything going on inside me. It would help a ton on which way to turn in the end.

I can't believe that. Maybe they had it but didn't include it? I hope you are comfortable with your 2nd opinion. Good luck!

I too picked up my medical records and also was disatisfied with my Dr. who never sat us down to discuss anything with us and when I scanned over my records, not one thing in it about the quality of the eggs they retrieved (26 eggs). I also have switched Dr's. Good for you for moving onto a new Dr. and I wish you luck!

That sucks, I would think that would all be in there. I hope the new Dr. is much better.

Is there any way to get more information on the quality? I know at my office, I could call and talk to my embrologyst directly. I hope you get some more information and the new doc puts you on the right track.

When ever I asked about quality the most I ever got was they look good - wonderful - okay and that was it. I even asked the embryologist about fragmentation and got the standard line of they look good and then 5 days later got a letter in the mail that they all died?!? At my last WTF I asked the RE about them and she said "we don't have the report" and kind of blew off the questions I had about quality and anything else on my eggs.

I was hoping the medical records would have more in there but of course not. I am not regretting my choice to change doctors at all. I need to no why they are not sticking and you would think egg quality would be the factor but I will never know if I stay with my current RE

The lack of information is soooo frustrating. You would think they would be more open with it when they are dealing with women who are in IF hell. I mean come on, they should have answers to the basic questions that most IVF cyclers want to know. I hope you get the answers you need and wish you best of luck at your appt.
