Written January 2013
Time has passed and my heart is still heavy about possibly leaving Dr. Miracles office. I just have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that we aren't receiving the proper medical care. I broke down and decided to call Dr. S's office and make a consult. To my surprise they were able to schedule me the next week, this never happened in the past.. it was usually months before you could get an appointment.
I arrived at my consult 15 minutes early and ready to drill Dr. S with my questions. Tyler was unable to make it due to work, so I had his questions ready too. I was taken back to Dr. S's office promptly after my arrival. To my surprise, Dr. S immediately remembered who I was because when he was reviewing my chart, he remembered the very long surgery he did on me to repair my fallopian tubes. He also was surprised at all of the procedures I had done at Dr. Miracles office. He said that with all the eggs that I had had extracted ( a total of three egg retrievals, and 65 eggs ) there should be no reason why I've only had one pregnancy and seven frozen embryos. He then began to go over and compare the success rates between the two offices. It was clear that Dr. S' success rate was a great deal higher. He then called in the embryologist (we'll call him CJ)and he also was surprised by the findings in my chart. He assured me that we wouldn't have the same problems because his practices are far more successful. I had an overall great feeling so I requested we go on the books for an FET the next month.
The IVF coordinator (we'll call her Sweetheart) was then called into the office to go over the FET dates. We were on the books for the end of March. We went over all the fine details and I was given the consent packet to take home and review with Tyler. We then made arrangements for CJ to go and pick up my seven babies from Dr. Miracles office.
After everything was worked out- I left the office with my confidences restored and excitement and hope at my all time high.

My Journey Through Infertility

About Me
- Elichia R.
- Hello. I'm a wife in my young 20's, who's married to the most wonderful man. I'm a mommy to 3 fur children named Fergie, Princess, and Luca. Hoping to one day have a little one of my own. This blog is based around my Life, Love, and Infertility.
In my blog I curse, misspell, don't use proper punctuation, don't put commas in the right place and don't hold back. This is a place I go to write my journey and to relieve frustration. I ask only four things from you while you follow my journey.
1. If you are friends with me on face.book please don't write on my wall about my journey. There are some people that just don't understand the decisions my husband and I are forced to make and I don't want negative feedback.
2. I don't ask for you to agree with our decisions but I do ask for you to respect them :)
3. If you don't have anything nice to say, please keep it to yourself.
4. Enjoy my blog and don't be afraid to ask questions. I like to talk about my journey. This is my therapy.
Thank you for following :)

August 2009 - First appointment with RE. He sent us for more bloodwork and testing. All results were coming back fine.
October 2009 - I had an internal ultrasound with saline. TA DA... finally a diadnosis, severe pelvic adhesions. The cause is believed to be from a previous appendectomy.
December 2009 - Underwent a laparoscopic surgery to remove pelvic adhesions. Adhesions were more sever than expected and my RE also discovered endometriosis.
Late December 2009 - At our post opp we were told our new medical plan was D/D/M/S. What does that stand for you ask? Dinner, dancing, movies, and sex. I decided to give it a shot. Our RE was pretty certain we would get pregnant.
March 2010 - We switched doctor's. I was dissappointed because I LOVED my doctor. But so did everyone else and appointments were so hard to get. We also ran into a little insurance problem, so we had no choice but to switch.
Middle March 2010 - First appointment with new RE. We liked him but don't love him. We went over my history and he recommended doing IVF on the next available run dates.
