First of all, at y...I think Dr. Woman sounds great. First of all, at your age and with your FSH, I think it would be really crazy for you to go straight to IVF unless you're dealing with severe MFI. I like the fact that she was positive and it does sound like she gave you a good overview of the immediate future. I can second your sense about Cor.nell's staff - I've always found them really, really good. As far as cancelling the HSG, I'd just do it without an explanation. Those docs see dozens of people and they expect that a certain number will end up going somewhere else. <br /><br />But I'm still going to keep fingers crossed for your cycle. I'd like you to be that urban-legen-come-to-life: the woman who ended up healthily preggers just as she was thinking about ART:)Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-69627166142310759062010-09-18T09:26:12.891-07:002010-09-18T09:26:12.891-07:00Sounds like a great consultation and I'm glad ...Sounds like a great consultation and I'm glad you're feeling more confident about it.

Som...So happy to hear that this was a good consult! Sometimes it can feel like a curse, but having choices (and only good ones at that!) is such a beautiful thing. I was just noting on Al's blog earlier this week that a cumbersome commute to your RE's office isn't as bad as you might think. It's one of those things that seems like a pain in the ass once you get started, but when you're looking back (and you WILL be looking back on this, and sooner than later, my dear Sloper) the drive/travel will seems so insignificant. Cross my heart. We fought through crazy northern VA/DC/MD traffic for our whole cycle (we had to attend various different offices of our clinic for certain procedures), and there were times that it felt like the worst thing ever--like when you're afraid traffic is going to make you so late for your monitoring appointment that you will miss the blood courier's pick-up time. But now, looking back on that stuff...I just laugh and roll my eyes at myself for thinking that was such a huge deal. <br /><br />With regards to cancelling your HSG: can you simply call and cancel it without explanation? I don't know that you necessarily need to inform them that you're moving on with a different clinic...unless you've committed to roll forward with them. And in that case, I suppose you could always offer a simple and vague explanation: we've decided to move in a different direction. <br /><br />I am seriously very excited and hope-filled for you and LG!Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133740026125341736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-47603155266831617312010-09-17T20:53:18.399-07:002010-09-17T20:53:18.399-07:00Wonderful things!

I honestly felt like my RE was my friend and it helped so much-- this is such an emotional process and you need all of the support you can get. While you don't want a doctor who makes empty promises, a little encouragement never hurt anyone. <br /><br />I love the candid conversations that you and LG had-- it really sounds like your on the same page.<br /><br />I am so excited for you guys to get the ball rolling!! I had all of the same scary IVF feelings that you do, but remember-- there are so many options to try between where you are and that place... and I am so hopeful that one of them will work.<br /><br />Love you!Stefanie Blakelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084332204236959880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-5562776265398322122010-09-17T18:13:21.488-07:002010-09-17T18:13:21.488-07:00As an xray tech who's seen it happen, you may ...As an xray tech who's seen it happen, you may want to go through with the HSG because the procedure alone can clear a blocked tube. Otherwise, just call and cancel. No explanation required. Good Luck!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02534378535861379300noreply@blogger.com
