[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a discussion with you and then disagreeing with your suggestion, particularly when you aren't a medical professional, is "lazy"? Good to know how the word is being used here.

I'm sure it feels great that the other doctor chose a protocol that worked better for you.

I think many of us who have had a lot of experience with IVF cycles appreciate a lot about the choice of protocol is guesswork (especially initially), luck, and ultimately success comes with the ability (financially, physically, emotionally) to keep going with more cycles.

You can go through thread after thread here and find people love the doctor they were successful with and loathe any doctor with which their treatment was unsuccessful.

I am the quoted PP. I am not a medical professional but I had 2 second opinions from medical professionals, so it's not like my suggestions were a personal whim.  He readily chalked up the failure to age which after switching to a different protocol and practice turned out not to be age. Not being willing to change anything after a failed protocol or have a nuanced discussion about it is lazy, yes, I stand by that statement. There was no explanation as to "I think this protocol is the best for you despite failure for XYZ reasons", or "the protocol you're asking about is not optimal for you because you have ACBD in your hormonal profile". At how much it costs, I expect something like that, not a flat out "No."
