New RE

So on Wednesday I met with my new RE, Dr. Odem. He is the head of the Reproductive and Endocrinology Department at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Which from what I hear they are top ranking/elite so to speak. Even with that being the case, I am somewhat apprehensive. I am used to the way I was treated and handled by my Dr's office and there's a lot of differences. For example, he said that he would have still gone ahead with the IUI when my Dr. wouldn't because of the 6 follicles that were found. This Dr. does not do ultrasound monitoring or HCG injections prior to the IUI procedure. He also doesn't do most of the IUI procedures, it's done by his nurse. Part of me felt like he was poo pooing the way my Dr's office was going about the treatment. And maybe that's a good thing and he'll be much more aggressive in getting me pregnant. It sounds like he's willing to do 2 more IUI procedures with Clomid before having to discuss the next step and options. He suggested that if this cycle does not produce a positive pregnancy test that I take off my next cycle as the timing of a procedure he wants to do would end up being while he is out on vacation. (the last week of December) He wants to do a sonohysterography to determine if my uterus is truely shaped and the septum is truely removed in full.

Right now I don't know what I'm going to do... He wants me to up my clomid to the dose that produced 6 follicles and... I just don't know anymore. I don't want to go back... I'm just hoping I get a positive on Thursday and I don't have to deal with this change or future choices... that will impact more than just me.

and that's all I can say right now.....
