Sounds like it went really well, so glad you were able to get on the same page as someone. I can't imagine driving 6-7 hours (I complain about the two trips/cycle I need to make to the main office an hour and a half away) but I know ladies do it. Hope the other consult gives you some peace so you can make a decision you feel good about. When do you plan to cycle?

I know, it makes me tired just thinking about it. Hoping for August or Sept.
Sounds great!! Would you be monitored locally, at least?
Oh, and the pictures of C in the bookshelf are SO cute and funny! I want to squeeze his little legs!!!
Probably not unless I can't swing it with work. The one time I tried that, I ended up O'ing early and ruined a $4k injectable IUI cycle. I'd rather just drive! Thank you for the sweet compliment. The real question is how are YOU??
OMG- could those pics be any cuter?!?
So impressed with this new doctor! That sucks about the drive, but I think it will be worth it. So glad to hear that she was open to the protocol changes and that she respected you.

I am so glad you had an appointment that left you with a positive outlook and significant confidence! So happy to read that! I can't imagine driving 6-7 hours, but agree that that kind of positivity is worth it!
Wow, she sounds great. NICE to hear along with some of less than pleasant experiences people have with RE's, pedi's, etc. GOOD LUCK MAMA!
Wheee!
