Finally. It only took two days and about a dozen phone calls, but we now have an appointment at a new IF clinic for a second opinion.

Hopefully the fact that the scheduling person is busy is a good sign. The appointment is in just over a week so I can't really complain. This clinic has very good stats for IVF if it does come down to that.
I tried to get into the same clinic that my sister in law went to but it's not on my health insurance plan. I only have infertility testing covered on my plan. So IVF/IUI aren't covered. But any little bit that I can get covered is worth it. Also *when* I get pregnant again, all of that blood work and ultrasounds will be covered at this clinic. This new clinic also has slightly better live birth stats than my sister in law's. But it also has a slightly higher cycle cancellation rate too. So that may be a wash.
I'm not 100% sure that I am changing from clinics yet. But we're going to start with the second opinion and go from there. It will partly depend on what this new doctor says, what diagnostic testing will need repeated, and how soon we can try to get pregnant again.
I may do the IUI cycle with the old clinic and then transfer if it's not successful.
Another step closer to baby.
Oh, and happy birthday, Mom.

Hey Tracey,
I wish you so much luck if you decide to go to a new clinic. I felt so much relief when I started with my new RE. He just had such a better "game plan" for me than my old RE.
Oh, and your recipes look yummy!!!
