I saw your Q on PAIF and thought of this blog.
There is a new-baby warning attached. It's very well written, detailed, and insightful and goes in depth with her experiences with RPL and cycling with C.CRM and in particular her experiences trying to coordinate an agency egg donor with the clinic. She is also a Dr B patient and FWIW I think her local RE is at S.IRM-NY and at least Cornell in the past. Hoping you find it informative.

Re: + BzeetyD +
Many thanks! I will check it out. I've been scouring blogs for RPL experiences and C.CRM and had not yet found much. So I appreciate it!
My baby tolerance is high when I'm reading about successful cycles but thanks for the warning.
