I went to see my GP today and I have my instructions to go off of my current medication. All along I have been told that it would be fine to continue during pregnancy but I do not want to take any chances. I'm going off slowly over the next 9 weeks.

I requested referral to Fertility Clinic #2 but it appears that I was not referred correctly and I'm going to a clinic I had never heard of. Let's call this referral to clinic #4. I asked about Clinic #3 and my Dr. had never heard of them. I find this odd since my previous GP was going to refer me there.

Is it wrong for me to want to have multiple consultations to choose the clinic I want to use? This is expensive and life altering.

That said:
#1 - booked in March. This place is hands down the most convenient choice. It's across the street from my office building - could you ask for better than that? I could be inseminated over lunch. BUT... I've met 2 of the staff and they seemed like flakey morons and I'm not sure how "Same Sex positive" they are. Also, they are affiliated with a specific Sperm bank that I'm not yet sure I want to use.

#2 - I'll try and book my own appointment. This place is close to home but that won't help much on a workday. I've read good things about them and was looking forward to checking this place out.

#3 - Not sure if I'll call this one. I'll see how calling #2 goes. If they reject me due to no dr. referral, I may try here. From the website their offices look really nice compared to #2 and #1.

#4 - Booked date TBD, April? Glowing Dr. reference, apparently lesbian couples who have gone love this guy but it looks a lot more intimate than the others. Nice website.
