Ruling from the clinic

I heard back from the nurse after she spoke to the specialist. He gave me the option to stop the medication, or to continue and wait for the scan. He has admitted that there is very little hope for this cycle, but his style is to not give up until the scan. Probably why they don't do quantitive blood tests.

I have managed to find a compromise and brought the scan forward by a week to next Thursday. Not that I believe there is any chance of a pregnancy from this cycle, but I want to do the right thing by the clinic and follow my specialist's recommendations. This way, I still get to come off the meds a week earlier than if I had not got the quantitive blood tests. And I am much better prepared.

Needless to say, next time I will be demanding the quantitive blood tests from the start, regardless of their standard policy.
