Anyone go to Kaiser's "Infertility Clinic" meeting?

gorby007 · September 2010

My dr. won't see me, she's referred me to go to the Fertility Clinic at Kaiser. In order to see an actual doctor there (same building, just a different floor...) I have to attend a group session that is 2 hours long. Something tells me I won't learn anything new.

Anyone gone to these things? Care to tell me what you got out of it?

TIA- this might be a post and run, I have to teach for most of the rest of the afternoon.

I have Kaiser. I just needed a referral from my PCP to see the RE. Then made the RE appt and proceeded from there.

However, I see you are in the Bay Area... they do things differently up there from what I understand. I know SoCal Kaiser has no option of IVF, but I've heard that NorCal Kaiser does do IVF.... so maybe that's part of the difference.

I have not seen the RE yet, but I self-referred to the infertility clinic at Kaiser and they have done a bunch of testing so far. No mention of having to go to a class in Sacramento. Sorry, that sucks if you do. Good luck!
