I have unexplained fertility problem after miscarriage with D&C. I have been TCC for 2 years. Now I want to seek help from fertility expert. I am debating between Yale fertility center and Uconn Fertility center. Would you please offer your experience about the two centers above? Which one do you prefer?
Thank you!

Re: Any body has experience with Yale Fertility Center?
H and I just started going to the Yale Fertility Center. I really like my RE and the nurse assigned to us. We are seeing another doctor there on Thursday before H goes for his SA (I can't remember his specialty off hand). We are going there on a recommendation from my ob/gyn.
If you have a good relationship with your ob/gyn I would see which center she recommends for you. I know my RE is working in concert with my ob/gyn.
We used Yale and were for the most part very happy with them. Our doc was great and was willing to perform a relatively new procedure on me which I had done my own research on before even asking her. It resulted in the LO in my siggy.
You do need to stay on top of their billing people for proper coding for insurance and proper charges to you. Just stay on top of your paperwork/bills and pay very close attention to them.
We had originally tried UCONN, but we were turned off from the first phone call. If I'm going to dread calling to make an appointment then more than likely I'm not going to like going in for appointments. I do know many people that LOVE them though and had much success there. Maybe I just got a the one nurse having a bad day each time I called LOL
We used the UCONN fertility center and loved our experience (well, at least as much as you can love it...) Our RE was amazing (Dr. Engmann) - as well as all the other doctors and amazing nurses we worked with. I can't say enough about them...they worked they're "magic" and gave us our lil lady - due this summer.
My cousin has used the Yale fertility center for several years now. While she is still working on her own miracle, I can't say that it's because of the center or not. (Competely different IF diagnosis). That being said, I have suggested that she get a second opinon at UCONN...just to be on the safe side.
Where do you live? Honestly, I think that's the biggest question for you. Both have great reputations and since your appts will become very frequent, I would suggest making an appt with the closest of the two (at least for a first opinion) and going from there.
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! Good luck!
I also went to Yale; they're very nice and on top of things. I haven't had any problems at all. We wound up getting pregnant "the old fashioned way", anyway. But, all in all I don't regret my time there at all. They were very thorough. I also tried acupuncture in conjunction with my western treatment. I highly recommend it. If you do try it, make sure you go to a person that specializes in fertility. https://www.aborm.org/ is the website.
I didn't try UCONN; I had had problems with them in the past, (unrelated to this).
Good luck!
