Hi Girls,

Just putting in my 2 cents worth. I feel the whole reason for seeing an alternative medical practitioner during IVF is improve your wellbeing whilst having an incredibly intrusive medical procedure. I have had no issue with dropping like a hot potoato a practioner who I thought has a lousy bedside manner any more than dropping a Gyno or GP whose manner was also poor. I know sometimes we have to be told things we dont want to hear - but thats totally different to being annihilated emotionally during a difficult time (and a good practioner should be sensitive to this as are good doctors). During very emotional times its also difficult to be proactive in your choices and to stand up for yourself.

Possums - if on reflection of your visit, you are honestly in the belief that this person can help, then you have made the right choice to persist. If you feel otherwise or your doubt continues - there are plenty of practioners from whom you can seek a second opinion!

Good luck!
