Dear John,
We are glad you found a forum to talk about IVF treatment and certainly many of the ladies here can relate to what your wife is going through. IVF plays a toll on us not only physcially but emotionally too. We invest so much into treatment but are not guaranteed it's going to work and when a doctor screws up alot of time we give up on the clinic. She did loose a tube, and she is like me in experiencing a natural pg that unfortuately led to a miscarriage before all that happened. You have to ask her to get her true feelings, be sensitive to her and understand this does takes time to move forward.
The first time we went through IVF I was devastiated because we thought ONE time would be THE answer but most of the time REs don't warn us that it may take several attempts thus I was not prepared, so along with 12,000 I lost trust in my fertility doctor. We researched and found another clinic that offers IVF Attain Program (70 % Refund if no baby) even though it's 2.5 hour commute but I think the drive is worth it when you find someone who is competent, who gives a couple more possibilities. My doctor tells us we still have time, more then half of his patients are in their early 40's with this treatment. We wish you and your wife much success! Remember talking it over with your wife is key in finding the best solution and MAYBE she would be wiling to meet and have a consultation with a different IVF doctor for a second opinion?
