  Hey.

  I'm jumping in from TTCAL.  

  I see a RI in the Chicago area (Vernon Hills).  I was referred by my OB because of several miscarriages.  She did find some issues and has been working to treat them.  My insurance has covered it even though they don't cover IF treatments at all.  

  We haven't been successful yet, but I feel like that's due to my issues with PCOS.

   

  I see Dr. Kwak-Kim and she's part of the Rosalind Franklin Reproductive Medical Center.  You can google it and they have a small website.

   

  I've also heard there's an RI at the University of Chicago.  

  Anyway, hope that helps.

  I have also heard great things about Dr. Kwak Kim.  Also, my RE said that if I was interested to talk to one, he works with Dr. Carolyn Coulam.  Their website is www.illinoisivf.com.
