Why so freaking negative?!

I did my CD 4 (or 4th day on stims) u/s this morning. It doesn't look wonderful by any means, I have 2 follies @ 15 and 16mm and 5 less than 10mm. The u/s nurse said "With anyone else we would cancel but we know this is as good as it gets with you"  Well duh! Because last IVF we were almost in the exact same place today, and I got a new big egg every 48 hours! Plus, fine maybe I'm not responding as we would have liked this cycle but we went straight to stims... we now have learend maybe that's not the best.  I'm not ready to give up yet.. why are they???

I am trying to be positive over here, I really just want 5 eggs again this time around. I'm not asking for miracles or anything. Geeze. Sorry had to vent, thanks for listening.

    I am sorry you had to encounter such a negative person, I have one in my office I am starting to believe she has been a nurse too long or they just never taught bedside manner at her school. We haven't lost faith in you and neither should you!

    I'm so sorry that she said that to you.

    What I don't understand is if they know that you're a slow responder why don't they give you a new protocol?

    That stinks, I'm sorry. I think they are trained to be so overly cautious about everything. Maybe they are too scared of getting peoples hopes up?

    The nurse from my RE's office who called with my beta results was pretty negative too...basically, it's positive, but low, so we're not really sure yet.  No words of encouragement at all....

    Wow, I'm sorry she said that to you. I would consider saying something to the RE because the last thing I would want if I were the RE would be someone on my staff who made comments to patients like that.  Part of this process is stayiong positive so hang in there and don't think about what that stupid woman said!

    Wow, that's uncalled for! I am triggering tonight with 4 follicles and the nurses at the RE clinic NEVER say anything unless I do - eg. I will make a joke, such as, "well my body just isn't cooperating" or "this is as good as it gets for me" - but it comes from me first, and then - only then - will they agree or make some comment, but never more "negative" than my own.

    At my last clinic one of the u/s techs asked me if I was doing IVF - this was for #1 - and when I said yes, she said "oh, so this is your last shot". WTF??? People are insensitive, even at the clinics, sometimes. 

    Anyway, GOOD LUCK! 

     

    B/G twins!

    Just be demanding. I had my transfer today. I had only 3 eggs but all three were excellent. My RE had thought about cancelling our cycle since I had only one follie for the first few days of stims. i was in tears and he even spoke to me about donor eggs. Well today another RE in the practice who had seen me during my monitoring-said "Glad u,  were persistent-I agreed, I had told her that I would move forward with even one follie, I want to be pregnant so badly. Well todays transfer had 3 8 cell embies , ona 1-4 grading scale, 1 being the best 2 were a 1 and the last guy was a 2. I am just praying for 12/12 to get here fast. Do not give up, its early I stimmed for 12 days....Good luck, I am rooting for you!
