Sue: Happy Belated Birthday! I don't know what your options are in where you can go, but I wanted to second Leora's suggestion of switching clinics--if it is possible. I went to 4 clinics in 4 years in order to get our "California Babies". The first clinic--I had horrible OHSS and literally had PTSD as a result. Even though our RE was very nice, I couldn't walk in the doors after all I went through. The second place the nurse was really MEAN. It was the weirdest thing. I kept making excuses for her (must have had a bad day, etc) but when she was really unkind during my m/c and chastized me for contacting my OB during it, I gave her the boot. The third place was my only other option in town. I did 3 rounds of IUI with them. They were very nice, I had a good relationship with the RE, but their lab wasn't top of the line and their results for over 40 were abismal. SO, when we realized our insurance cap was lifted and we could do IVF again--I decided to take out the stops and looked nationwide for the best clinic for OVER 40s, that also took our insurance. I also did what I could to take supplements and make minor adjustments to my diet, and worked with an acupuncturist.
Sorry to go on about my situation, but I know when I was in a bad spot and trying to make decisions, it helped to know what others had done.
I think your DH is right and you should meet with either your RE or another one (if that is an option).
Again, best of luck. Use this site to its fullest!!! There are so many compassionate, smart, strong women here. I know that I wouldn't have my two miracles with me if it weren't for the support I received here.
