Hey gals, if you responded to any of the threads I started yesterday, they are gone. So sorry to make you do it again...

I was telling you all that I was researching RE's and found several in my area. But I was really drawn to a clinic that is an hour and a half away from me. Does anyone travel to see their RE's or Doctor? If so how does that work for you?

I'm about an hour from my RE, so it's not that bad. I'm sure I'll have a different view when I'm going down there every day/every other day during our IVF cycle, but it's definitely worth it to be working with someone whose only goal is to get you pregnant!

My RE isnt far, but if you are drawn to this specific RE for one reason or another I definitely DEFINITELY say go for it! It is soooooo important to have this person on your side and have them be a truly caring person. My RE is only about 30 minutes away but after meeting him and knowing him now...honestly I would travel hours to see him!!

My RE is 1 1/2 away at the shorest, when I had to go up for u/s and b/w before retrieval it was 2+ hours, since I have to drive through Chicago during the week. As much as that drive sucked sometimes, I wouldn't go to a different RE even if it was only a 15 minute drive. I think the way you feel about the RE is the most important factor when you're choosing. If you don't feel like it's a good fit, don't go there. You won't trust the dr. or you won't feel like you're getting the care you deserve and IMO thats the worst thing that can happen. We had a S/A done at an RE that we were considering (only 30 minutes away) and initially they were very nice...then it took us 2 weeks to get the S/A results!!! They wouldn't even take our calls, they would say a nurse would call back and no one ever would, we only got the results because I called my gyn and asked them to call for the results and they got them. So we decided then that was DEF not the place for us. When you choose your RE, just make sure it's the right place for you... I've learned that it sucks to go through all of the medical crap, so you def want a doctor who you feel like is in your corner.
