Clinic #4!

Met with a new doctor on Monday. Our 4th clinic. It's called the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine and the doctor is a FEMALE named Lisa Hasty. Let me back up a bit.....I originally scheduled an appointment at RBA, the clinic that had treated Dan and did my IUI's. I had lunch with my friend Tammi and she told me about Dr Hasty and how much she loved her. I thought, what the hell, I'll call to see if they can take me sooner than RBA, and if they can....it's a sign I should switch clinics. She was able to see me on April 8th, so I was sold. She spent about 2 hours with me discussing my history and showing me statistics and other data. She strongly feels I should go through with another cycle of IVF. But before she'll treat me, she wants several things done. I have to meet with a nutritionist (who is staffed by the clinic) and an acupuncturist (who is also staffed by the clinic) and it's all covered by my health care plan! I'ma also taking DHEA, Vitamin D and CoQ10. She said I need to lose at least 10 pounds by the end of May because overweight women have a lower chance of conceiving through IVF and have a greater chance of miscarriage. She's also doing a hysteroscopy tomorrow, which is putting a camera into my uterus and looking at it up close. Kind of like a colonoscopy. She wants to see if there's scar tissue, polyps and/or inflammation. If there is, she can treat that prior to undergoing treatment. I really, really like her. She's so personable and thorough, and she's super honest and compassionate. I feel good about the clinic. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.....
