I am a teacher and would really like to try when things are a little less stressful eventhough I think we could try again in May.
We really love our RE but after 2 failed IVFs we are trying to decide if we should at least get another opinion. He is an excellent Dr., and we have many issues other than my endo. The plan is to do ICSI this time as we have discovered that my eggs don't fertilize well (only 2 last time), and DH's sperm is excellent. Any advice? How long did you wait before getting a 2nd opinion?

KelB!!

I am so sorry to hear that this last cycle was unsuccessful for you. I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you as far as your RE goes. I sort of jumped ship with my first RE after my early miscarriage. Mine was for different reasons though. I had many recommendations (and all positive) to the clinic I will now be going to. The fact that they have a guarentee program was a plus as well. Also, there were some things that happened and things that I think could have been done differently with my first RE and his clinic that could have possibly changed the outcome of my situation. I didn't have the greatest experience there so I wasn't a very difficult decision for me. Maybe some of the other ladies might have so advise for you that will help.

Anyways Again! I am glad you are with us!!
