give me a little peace of mind

in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

so I just chatted with my IRL colleague that has had multiple IVF tries and we go to the same doctor. she got all her records from our RE and took them to a new place (in another city) to review and look for other options. Sounds like there were several things in her file that were never pointed out to her and FI - which may not be big deals, but could be or at least could have led to other testing, etc.

so now I am totally second guessing my doc - even though I've felt I've had a good experience with him and the office so far - I have no idea from a science point of view (even though I do know how acclaimed he is blah blah blah).

also her description of the center just sounded amazing. total holistic and medical approach all in one place . . .whereas my place is more like a science lab. nice people and staff, but not touchy feely at all. . . 

okay, I'm just blabbering and making no sense now. I'm not saying I want to switch anything (and obviously can't mid-IUI) but . . .. .

    I think you have to go with your gut. If you feel like your doc is doing you right, then stick with him. 

    Is there any way that you can request a copy of your file so that YOU can review it yourself? Then if you find that he's left something out, you can reconsider finding another RE

    If this IUI doesn't work out, why don't you go there for a second opinion? Can't hurt, and may give you some peace of mind.

    This sounds like a good idea.

    You can always ask to see your file as well, but I know for me, I would have no idea what any of it meant anyway.

    I think you're all correct. plus I'm for sure taking break after this IUI b/c my sister's getting married in June and I can't be a blubbering bloated infertile with track marks from all of my injections at the wedding. . . .plus I may have laproscopy done - so it gives me time and options. . . .

    and I would have no clue what I was looking at. . .except the part marked "habitual aborter" and now marked "unexplained infertile" I got that loud and clear.

    This!  And I too think you should get a copy of your file.

    I'm pretty sure it's your legal right to have access to your medical records.  I paid for mine to be transferred one time and got a copy of them.  Maybe you could look at them if you aren't keen on switching yet?

    A second opinion is never a bad thing.

    I just got a copy of my records because I am considering a second opinion.  I love my RE, but I do feel it's a little textbook - 3 rounds Clomid, 3 rounds Injectibles, then IVF.  I'll see what happens with this IUI.
