Newbie to IVF....

in Infertility

Hi Everyone!

 Hubby and I have been trying for over 3yrs now to get pregnant. 1 1/2 yrs of IUI/intercourse. We are now to the point of crossing over to IVF. Big question is where to start? How do I know we picked the right place? I have Kaiser now and live in Orange County, CA so it has been easy until now. I have been diagnosed with PCOS with some endometriosis as well.

We are in unfamiliar ground and taking a huge risk with money doesn't help us want to jump in and go. I'm hoping that you ladies can help...

Thanks xoxoxo and best of luck to all of you <3

    Welcome!

    I looked at SART scores to help decide on an RE. https://www.sart.org/frame/detail.aspx?id=3893

    Good luck to you!

    I would ask your ob/gyn for a referral.

    I asked the ladies on this board from my area who they were seeing.

    I set up consult appointments with two REs, discussed my case (I already had all of diagnosis testing done with my ob-gyn) and costs.  

    I reviewed their stats on SART.

    Good luck!
