Medical treatment-my body my decision?

AIBU to think I should be entitled to make my own decision regarding medical treatment ?

Recently I had IVF, after my previous pregnancy resulted in me being unable to conceive again without assistance (I had also had placenta praevia and a small area of accreta)
Before coming to the decision to have IVF we had counselling and tests to check all was a swell as could be

The clinic were happy for us to go ahead but when my GP got the letter all hell broke loose, they called me in to discuss this and I wrote back stating that I had made my decision and did not feel I needed to discuss it as had already done so with our consultant
I then got an email from clinic stating that the GP had reservations about us having more treatment??? I feel this is grossly overstepping the mark

I'm upset, I want to complain. It's stressful enough as it is without interference

Great, it sounds like it was worth going. I'm glad your GP is being supportive.

What a drama about bugger all

Drama llama!
Glad you went but you will go insane if you keep up like this,ivf does your head in anyway without all this "all hell broke loose" nonsense

So the GP did need to see you for your own good, and didn't deserve the slating you were giving them?
You're going to need to get a handle on the dramatics as there will be plenty more to come.

Your clinic were going to let you go ahead with IVF without an up to date smear? Get another clinic.

To be fair to the clinic my smear is due this month so when I saw them it wasn't technically out of date but I've got an appt to have it done in a couple of weeks

And yes, it was a fuss about nothing. Ivf medications have clearly made me a bit over sensitive and defensive !
