You will love it. And there are certainly no shortage of doctors here. I only personally have experience with on OB/GYN and one RE. The RE is at Partners Reproductive Health Center at Newton/Wellesly Hospital which is just out of the city (convenient for my more own suburban location). Her main office is at Bringham & Women's Hospital, which is right in the city, and the place were mosr fertiles I know actually give birth. I'm sure you could not go wrong there. Around the city, from what I hear, there are also several clinics called Reproductive Science Center. Lastly, there is this organization, which i recently discovered myself:<br /><br />http://www.resolveofthebaystate.org/<br /><br />They probably have a lot of helpful resources, and host a conference every November (which I personally amd really hoping I won't be attending!)<br /><br />Best of luck to you. Boston is a great place to live!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556722325372102710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165189366915705477.post-31674937070210272212011-01-12T05:39:12.508-06:002011-01-12T05:39:12.508-06:00Ugh, I can't stand hearing those lucky women c...Ugh, I can't stand hearing those lucky women complain. So sorry you have to hear that. She should be more sensitive.<br /><br />I'm also sorry about your treatment frustration. Is there any way they could do more testing and bill it as diagnostic? My initial testing was completely covered.<br /><br />I just talked to a lady that found out her CM was hostile or that perhaps her hubby's sperm has an antibody in it. She had post-coital testing done and found that the sperm were dead. I'm beginning to wonder if that could be a lot of girls' problem. Might be worth looking into, if you haven't yet.<br /><br />I think upping Clomid might be worth a try. It might give you a couple extra eggies for a better chance. I took 100mg this cycle with my IVF meds, and my lining looks great! I also had tons of fertile CM.<br /><br />Wishing you the best of luck!LisaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08662932656659080958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165189366915705477.post-49369588027426782942011-01-12T05:26:01.576-06:002011-01-12T05:26:01.576-06:00If you're ovulating on Clomid there's no s...If you're ovulating on Clomid there's no sense in increasing the dosage because your body will start to ignore the drug. My guess is that the Dr wants you to ovulate earlier than you do? In which case, he should be telling you to change which days you take it.<br /><br />I was taking Clomid on CD5-9 from memory, and I wasn't O'ing til around CD18. So I changed it to CD3-5 and it brought forward my O day by 2-3 days. My body responds really well to Clomid, I was able to O on just 1/2 a tablet a day. <br /><br />You are being very noble toward your friend, but you should be honest with her. Tell her you'd love to be in her position and you wouldn't be complaining to people who are struggling with their fertility.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892223595955789858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165189366915705477.post-29026787621608887372011-01-11T15:15:19.950-06:002011-01-11T15:15:19.950-06:00You should tell your friend.

And DH's sperm is good...<br />I have tried all dosages of Clomid and Femara...and nothing. <br />So we are taking a couple months off. Regrouping. Sounds like what you are doing. I even made an appointment with the RE next month to see if they can tell me what to do next. I don't want to keep doing something that is not working. I am sure you feel the same way.<br /><br />Good job also in handling your pregnant friend! I have had the same thing happen to me and it was all I could do to keep my mouth shut.<br /><br />http://missconception-ads.blogspot.com/ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.com
