Getting nowhere

After discussing things with Dustin we decided we wanted to go to shots and this is the response I got from the nurse practitioner:

HI Kristin!
I am glad that you and Dustin had a chance to talk things out.
I am thinking that Skipping over to straight shots is not your best option. The risk of hyperstimulation and multiple births is high. So we would like to have that as our "big guns" so to speak. It doesn't really make sense to move to something super aggressive then go back to something less aggressive. We are giving you a better chance at responding to the drugs by putting you on metformin. It would be safer and more sensible to do the intermediate step first. I know you want to get everything in before the stress of the school year sets in, but we also are thinking about what is the best thing for you medically.
Don't want to discount your plan, because I know you have a lot of other things going on, but our first consideration is what is best for you medically that poses the least amount of risk. That would be the combination cycle.
Talk about that with D and let me know,
Stephanie

Feeling very powerless.
