Hi Ladies,
I'm wondering if any of you have experience or know anyone with experience dealing with REs in Chicago. We're having trouble TTC and it's about time to see an RE. We are blessed with so many options in the city that I was hoping to have some sort of recommendation to help narrow the list.
TIA!
Re: Anyone with dealt with REs in Chicago?
This. IMHO, it's worth the drive (I'm in the NW burbs, an hour from Gurnee). I didn't have a good experience at North Shore or FCI. GL!
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
We went to Northwestern Memorial Faculty Foundation's fertility clinic (downtown). I wasn't totally impressed with bedside manner (everyone was very nice and seemed extremely professional though) but it worked so I guess at the end of the day that's what I care about. We did IVF w/ ICSI and I'm expecting twin boys in March.
Dr. Edmond Confino was my doctor but I met with most of the other doctors throughout my cycle and they were all great. The recommendation to go to Dr. Confino came from a friend who's a OB/GYNE resident at Northwestern. She said that's who the doctor's go to when they have TTTC.
Echoing a recommendation for Dr. Wood-Molo! DH's primary care physician had TTTC and went to a number of doctors in the city for a number of years and never had success until he found her. She's got a very direct personality, but we had a great experience with her. Good luck!
I'm usually on SAIF, but feel free to page me if you ever have questions.
Another plug for Dr. Wood Molo's office! They are wonderful and take such great care of you. Always very prompt return calls and a caring staff. I actually miss seeing them so often (not to mention the weekly u/s!) but am elated to be 15 weeks and under the care of my high risk ob/gyn.
