California Conceptions?

in Third-Party Reproduction
I am new to the world of donor embryos. We are looking into this process / option since we can't afford ivf and wanted to see if we can afford donor embies. California Conceptions was recommended to us and I wanted to ask if anyone has also had experiences with this clinic. Any information or advice would be great since I am so new to this. Thank you.

    We've never used CC, but I am also on the Embryo Adoption forum on Baby Center, and many of the women there have used them. They all seem incredibly pleased and happy with it there. It seems like a very affordable way to have a baby. Good luck, and I suggest checking out the Embryo Adoption forum on babycenter.com. :)

    We looked into California conceptions and were very close to using them.
    We will be using them if our DE DS cycle is a bust this summer. Well, that's my plan anyway... Haven't really discussed it with hubby yet...

    There are a lot of great aspects of treatment there. We liked the minimal waiting time, very good prices, high success rates, ect. I think they are a great option for those looking into DEmbryos.

    Everyone that ive read about that has used them has been very happy there.

    Me (32) DOR, elevated NK Cells/ 2 copies of MTHFR mutation/ MH (35) azoo/high DFI   (TTC#1 since 2009)

    IVFs#1-4: (4/10-2/12) all BFN

    Surprise Bfp (9/11) - c/p

    DS IUI#1-2 (9/12, 10/12) - BFN

    DS IVF: (11/12) - BFN

    DE/DS IVF#1: (10/13) - 2 day 3 embies transferred-BFFN

    FET of 2 day 6 blasts: (12/13) - c/p

    DE/DS IVF #2: (4/14) - 1 day 5 blast transferred...BFFN...again.

    FET 5/14: 1 day 5 hatching blast transferred...another BFFN

    Repeat SHG 6/14-normal / Endometrial Receptivity Array biopsy 7/14-Receptive Uterus

    New RE, additional testing reveals elevated NK Cells

    FET of 1 day 5 blast (RE recommends transferring 1 due to elevated NK cells) with lovenox, steroids & intralipids in October
