Not to minimize the emotions and heartache of a miscarriage (I've had one so I do know its hard) but it sounds like she was traumatized by hers. Seems crazy that she would go straight to IVF and in this case I'd have to question that RE too.

It kind of amazes me that there are people on there who don't seem to understand the processes that they're putting their bodies through with fertility medicine, and yet they exist. There's a girl in my office who has been going to the same clinic (we bumped into each other waiting for bloodwork one day) and when we got to chatting about why we were there, she didn't even really seem to know. Her regular gyno (not even an RE) had told her she might have PCOS since she didn't seem to ovulate regularly (but like your girl, she has none of the physical signs of that). Turns out her gyno had been putting her on various drugs and even injectibles without even referring her to the RE for a full workup her gyno was just using the clinic for bloodwork. It seemed like "throw stuff at it and see what sticks" kind of thing. I was pretty surprised she hadn't researched or asked questions, but she's just trusting that way I guess. I suggested she seek a consult with an RE just for a second opinion, but I have no idea what ended up happening. I'm just far too curious and obsessive and controlling to trust anyone (even a medical professional) without trying to at least understand things myself!Aramishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275274008426941898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-47275487468627642392013-03-21T14:39:34.516-07:002013-03-21T14:39:34.516-07:00Wow.

I can't even wrap my head around how she thinks a shot to help her ovulate will somehow protect her from miscarriage but ovulating and conceiving on her own means certain miscarriage. I agree that RE really did a number on her and probably took advantage of her. It's the only explanation other than complete stupidity.

In a way, I feel she was 'targeted' as she was dealing with her miscarriage, very trusting and wealthy. Granted I only have her side of the story, and I kept thinking 'this doesn't add up, it doesn't make sense' but if her story is accurate, I really feel that she may have been swindled. jAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282963869813954232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808830305872285145.post-85548405787547433892013-03-21T11:10:27.757-07:002013-03-21T11:10:27.757-07:00Oh my gosh, this reminds me so much of the stories...Oh my gosh, this reminds me so much of the stories I hear from my mom (a GP who specialized in women's medicine for years)... so many patients have absolutely no concept of how their bodies work, even at the most basic level, and yet they often aren't able to accept their ignorance and trust their doctor, either. So they just go in circles, from care provider to care provider, not ever really solving the problem. I would say I'm shocked that this woman hadn't even TRIED regular timed intercourse for her second, but then frankly, nothing shocks me anymore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
