Any RE recommendations near Norfolk, VA?

Hello!

My husband and I hope to spend Christmas with family down near Norfolk, Virginia. The problem is that I will likely need monitoring during that timeframe. We could just stay home, but IF has stolen so much from me already I'm really hesitant to give it Christmas too. I asked my RE if I had any options and he said I could try to get monitored at a fertility clinic in VA and have the results sent to them. Do any of you know any clinics in that area? We'll actually be north of Norfolk so Williamsburg or maybe even Richmond would also work. I found two clinics through googling but I couldn't find much info about either and I would love a more personal recommendation.

The backstory (i.e. explanation as to why I don't want to just skip a month of treatment):

I'm currently in the tww from my November IUI but I'm not feeling that hopeful, so I'm planning ahead for December. We really want to squeeze in one more IUI this year because my current insurance will cover one more and I plan to switch insurance companies for 2015. To be completely honest, I don't have much hope that the November or December IUIs will work - but I want to feel like we maximized our chances and our coverage and did everything we could in 2014 before moving on to other more drastic measures in 2015.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations! Also, has anyone else gotten monitored at a new clinic while traveling? I'm worried about the logistics about getting the results and how much it will cost, etc. So I'd love to hear about any experiences with that. Thanks!!

@lemonliz - The Jones Institute is one of the ones I found online so it's nice to hear someone else has at least heard of it. And thanks for the tip of using my insurance website - I never thought of that! I'll definitely try that. I suspect I'll need a few choices because my RE told me not all practices are willing to monitor "outside" patients.

@iputketchuponketchup - thanks for the info! that really helps actually because I wasn't sure exactly where to look. It's my husband's family so I'm not from there and not familiar at all with the area. (He's familiar with the area but not as dedicated (crazy?) as I am about finding a clinic. He's convinced this cycle is going to work and we don't need to plan for December... his optimism is cute but after 30+ cycles of this I ignore him and plan anyway)

Way to far away to be of any help but wanted to wish you luck. I would be /probably will be the same way but hoping you won't need it. Fingers crossed!!
