Oh, I missed your message because i logged on before you posted, but then had to go out and only finished my reponse later, so it didn't show the 3rd page.

Yes, definately you can have all your records transferred to another clinic. You just have to sign a waiver. I had mine sent over from a Queensland clinic. And a nurse at Concept said (when I inquired last Dec.) that ladies transfer between clinics quite a bit. I was wondering about frozen embryos and she said they can get transferred no problem.

Which clinic are you at and what doctors have you seen? Am wanting to gather as much info as I can to decide whether to switch clinics or 'stay with the devil I know.'

Where are you from originally? I am also not originally from here.
Hi nitzerette

Sorry for the late reply. Was trying to distract myself from the IVF thing for some time and had thus not been back to this forum since my last posting. Both my DH and myself are from Singapore.

Our referral to Pivet was insisted by a GP in Perth whom we had no contact or information at all. At that time, this GP was the only one whom we could make an appointment with without a waiting period policy practiced by some due to our being new in Oz. Our time in Perth was short before my DH's transfer to the NW for employment. I actually was considering Concept through a little research online but the GP made it clear that he will only make referral to Pivet as he does not have the FSs contacts in any other fertility clinic.

In Pivet, I did not get to see Dr Y as referrred by the GP. I was arranged to see a junior FS in the clinic at my first consult. The junior FS was grand but I requested to see another later as I want to have a 'feel' of another FS just for comparison sake. On my return to the clinic for a discussion of my cycle test results, I was met by a 2nd FS who was very distant and who only got warm up later when I decided to do IVF per his recommendation.

The nurses in the clinic are pleasant but it is not easy to establish a rapport with anyone when they are not available in the clinic all the time due to shift work, I reckon. In fact, I met a part-time nurse during the weekend during my preparation for transfer and she was just the perfect nurse anyone would dreamt for. Perhaps, it was less of a stress working on the weekend for the nurse. Or to be fair, she just have that right qualities of being one.

It's been almost 6 weeks now since my failed transfer ..... I still have a frozen embryo with the clinic. I will probably returned for a FET with the same clinic when I had myself fully prepared both mentally and physically again.

I hope you had better luck in your search of the right clinic and FS.
