Hi Ladies! I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to give everyone an update. Since it's been a year now of TTC and we have confirmed MIF issues (1% morphology), we have been referred to an RE. I made our first appt in January with Dr. Mersol-Barg in Birmingham. Does anyone have experience with him or his office? Please let me know your experiences.
Re: Going to an RE in January
I went to college with his sin, Mike- he seemed like a nice guy.

Good Luck!

Lots of Luck to all of 3T/IF
I didn't go to him but beebe929 (Stephanie) from the SaIF board went to him. I also know that everafterinMI (Jen) also on SaIF went to him originally but had to switch REs....something to do with insurance. They both have great things to say about him and I'm sure they'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
Good luck, I hope that you get a BFP for the new year!

LOVE him. You can PM me or email me with any questions
One of the BEST doctors I have ever used. Loved him, his intelligence, his care and the nurses.
We got PG with DS #1 after our first round of IUI and injects.
We were about to start working with him again for #2, when we got PG with DS #2 (I was only on Met....)
I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff.....
I have several friends IRL who have also had success with him....
One has twin boys from IVF #1 with him.....
One has one son with IVF #1 with him.....
GL!
If you want anymore info/opinions, please feel free to PM me or page me on SAIF
As Laura&Dan mentioned......Beebee is PG with #2 and both times she did IVF with him.....
