Should I get 2nd opinion after cycle failure

Hello--

I am on my first drug cycle.  I was on birthcontrol pills for 3 weeks and then started on Follistim day 2 of cycle.  300 per day. Two days later it was increased to 425 per day and is continuing.  I am on day 9 of Follistim.  Dr. told me 2 days ago that I was not responding well to the meds--had only 2 follicles which have been growing but that IVF would probably not happen.  Said I was still in running for IUI this month.  I asked him if in the future another medication protocol might make a difference and he said no.  IVF probably not option if something doesn't turn around in this cycle.  My question is whether I should get 2nd opinion regarding whether another IVF cycle should be undertaken?  I have a great doctor but I know that others may  have a different opinion??  Or am I wasting my time?

Evet patient, including my own, who is uncomfortable with the recommendations of a physician, has a right to seek a second opinion.
Good luck.
