Getting a 2 nd opinion?

Just wondering if you would get a second opinion from dr? I've been seeing my current RE for 3 years off and on bc 3 yrs ago she helped me get pregnant with iui and now I have a son..but second time around its not working. I'm unexplained infertility and 37. What would you say to your current dr? It's a very small office and I truly love them, but really want to know why... And maybe another pair of eyes can help... I guess I have to ask for my records to be transferred or copied? Ah

    I'd get a second opinion.  Can't hurt.  If anything, a different RE may have a few additional tests or things they'd want to monitor that could give some new insight.  And you can always go back to your original, if you prefer.

    How long have you been trying since your son was born?  What treatments have you done?  Because if you got PG with your son after just a round or two of clomid and the same treatment hasn't worked yet for #2, you may just be being a little im

    I would get a 2nd opinion. I've read that 2nd opinions are recomended for Unexplained IF.  We started with that diagnosis and I am SO glad we got a 2nd opinion.  We switched to the 2nd opinion doctor who found a polyp in my uterus and
