GBD, I notice that you are in Sydney... So am I, so my doctors could be of interest to you.

I think it's fairly normal for people to seek a second opinion, and it's something I would definitely advise you to do if you aren't happy in any way with the current FS.

We did when I wanted answers to the questions of why I miscarried... We found them, but in the end are sticking with our original FS.

Think of it like this - you wouldn't trust your car to a mechanic who fobs you off and won't answer your questions, so why do you trust your body (or your wife's body in this case) and your desire to have a child to someone who treats you in such a dismissive manner?

I love both of my specialists, and I honestly feel like I can recommend both of them... the one I suggest depends pretty much on the exact circumstances, though.

One focuses on physical and emotional wellbeing at the same time as IVF - he'll kick your butt around if he picks something as being not right, but he'll answer all your questions, and he can do the gentle stuff when necessary. I like him because he prefers to do natural FET cycles and has even devised a method of getting me to ovulate with minimal side effects. Long story, but I've become extremely sick with OHSS on both stim cycles and don't ovulate by myself due to PCOS. He consults in Parramatta and Liverpool (and possibly Campbeltown).

The other is the miscarriage guru. If there's a reason for a miscarriage, he'll find it and help fix it. I haven't had as much experience with him, but I do keep in touch with him via email to ask questions about the treatment he's got set out for me. He has rooms in Kogarah and the city, I think, possibly a few other places.

If either of them appeal, let me know and I'll give you more details. They are both with different IVF clinics... I'd have been quite happy with doctor number 2, but the distances to travel for us were extreme and makes it impossible to see him on an ongoing basis.

Good luck with everything.
