[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New RE at a new clinic, as soon as you are ready to do so. If your financial/insurance situation allows it, consider having consults with more than 1 and picking the one you're most comfortable/confident with. We received what turned out to be really bad advice from our first RE last year at this time. We followed the advice for 3 months because she was the RE we were established with, I honestly wasn't quite sure what else to do, and was overwhelmed by the thought of going somewhere else to "start over" because what if it turned out to be worse than our experience at the first place. It took a huge toll on my mental health.
Then one of my oldest friends, who has dealt with plenty of her own health problems but not infertility, said to me, "You aren't starting over from scratch. You have pages and pages of records from the first doctor to guide a new doctor's approach." For me that was the first step in the right direction in turning my thinking and outlook around. It gave me the confidence to book appointments at 2 other clinics quickly, and I was specifically able to see REs I had read an extensive number of reviews on (mostly comments here on DCUM). One was a good fit; the other was not. We promptly began moving forward with the good fit and everything fell into place. The way my second clinic did things made for a much more logical and comfortable environment for me, which meant I felt better taken care of and more confident as the process proceeded.
Good luck.[/quote]

Thank you this is really helpful. May I ask what ended up happening in the 2nd clinic? Were you successful?[/quote]
