Has anyone had any experience/knowledge about them? 

I don't know of anyone who's ever been there and would love to talk to someone as it looks like we're def. headed there.

Thanks!

    I work at Walter Reed/Bethesda, and the I know IVF is relatively new here. It was brought over from the "old" WR, so I know no one with experience using it, sorry.

    We almost went that route, but I found that WR was pushing me toward IVF very quickly since they don't easily do IUIs there, so I sought an outside consult which I got approved through Tricare (I'm active duty, so not as easy for me to do). They have a top notch IVF program and the price is very good. I just wasn't ready to go there.

    I am 24 weeks pregnant after doing IVF at WR back in January.  Feel free to PM me with any questions. I had a great experience with them and would recommend to anyone who is considering it to take advantage of the fact that they are there.

    I am in the middle of trying to submit paperwork for the fall cycle. Have you gotten in to a cycle yet? Someone was kind enough to email me the 'packet' that WR sends out after they recieve your referral letter. Let me know if you would like me to send it to you.
