They withheld the sizes of my follicles and the amount lowered every time I went for a scan - Which I feel was a clear indication that the meds were not working, I also mentioned to them 3 times that I dont feel that the meds are working!!!! However every time I asked it was confirmed everything is going well and that things are progressing as they should!

They offered us a discounted rate if we come back but I cannot ever trust them again after everything they put us through!


Apologies for jumping in like this.
MommieZ: So sorry about your unsuccessful IVF. :unsure:

How much meds were you taking and how many follies did you have during ER?

I also did not respond very well during our first IVF attempt...and due to the poor follicle growth we changed that IVF cycle to an IUI as we only ended up with 2 mature follies and it was not worth going through the extra cost of retrieval, fertilization and with the possible risk of not getting any mature eggies out of 2 follies.
Pity that your clinic did not discuss other options with you when they realized that you are not responding well on the protocol.

@Mommiez: I would like to say I can only imagine the disappointment you must be feeling but unfortunately I know first hand. Different situations - but still. My trust in the medical profession a the moment ESPECIALLY in obstetrics etc. is really at an all time low. I am so so absolutely disheartened for you, my heart breaks. We put all our hopes and dreams and TRUST in the hands of these people and they just let us down SO BADLY. I really pray that you find better care at your new clinic. Thinking of you both x

@NicolaF: CD28 still no sign of AF.

@Mommiez I am so so sorry. Breaks my heart reading this. You should be receiving the absolute best service and it is really unacceptable to have a FS who does not put his full heart into it. Really bad. I hope the new clinic is amazing and you get your blessing soon. xxxx

@Megz....any news?!! Praying for you xxx

Happy Friday ladies. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! x

So the bad news bulletin arrived for us on Wednesday as the Beta came back negative!

We are very unhappy with the news and even more upset with the clinic! My regular gynea got my blood test results today and went over everything in accordance with how I took my meds.

Her conclusion was that I did not react well to the meds at all (I reacted better to the R110 Clomid than R10 000's worth of meds!! Which by the way the FS never picked up or mentioned to us!

They offered us a discounted rate if we come back but I cannot ever trust them again after everything they put us through!

We will be doing a second cycle of IVF but with a completely different clinic in Parktown Bio Art, although they are far from us I feel that it will be a good choice for us.

Our next appointment with them is in Aug :-)

Good Luck Girls, sending you lots of Baby Dust!!

I will still be around and checking i from time to time until we are on the wagon again full speed ahead!

Blessings to all xxx

This just sucks. I really despise doctors sometimes. If you get a good you you have to hold on. But that's also the thing, you will never know beforehand.

I'm very sorry that this went so badly for you guys.

We are going to miss you
