I said before that we don't take bad news too well. Maybe I should clarify that. When somebody tells us that something can't be done, we see a challenge. The message from the hospital that they couldn't do anything for us anymore took us by surprise. It felt like a blow and we went down for a little. But by no means it knocked us out. We were distressed to say the least, but soon we got up. Ready for the next round.
The next round is in the beginning of December when we have a follow-up meeting with the gynaecologist. For my own good I prefer not to question their competences and integrity at this point in time. I like to think that they are not in this business to make money or get a great success rate published - they want to help us get pregnant and that is the basic goal.
If our goals indeed are aligned, I am sure I would benefit from a different protocol. With the help of Dr Google and my online buddies I came up with the best protocol for low responders. Basically it consists of less surpression, more stimulation. This is something I would like to propose. If for whatever reason our ideas turn out to differ, then it is time to consider Plan B.
Plan B might involve suing the hospital (is there such a thing as a right to have infertility treatment?), get a second opinion in a different hospital or seriously consider alternatives. Although we have discussed alternatives, given my age and the quality of our embryos so far, we think we have not explored the current route to the max yet. So that is what we will do before we move on.
We just wish this process were easier sometimes. But then again, we were never in it for the easy ride!

I wish you all the best on the next treatment. But talking about suing because of bad infertility treatment ? That's the wrond road... Unless it's about the surgery which wasn't necessary afterwards...
