Hello,

I'm looking for feedback (good and bad) on IVF clinics in MN - specifically MCRH (Dr. Corfman) and the Center for Reproductive Medicine.

Thanks in advance!

    I'm traveling right now so I'm on my phone.

    CRM is widely believed to be the best clinic in the Twin Cities.

    Everyone I know with IF goes there many have gotten wonderful results.

    We had also used RM.IA for IUIs and did not have a good experience there, which were not related to the outcome.

    I can give you more details and answer any questions you have when I'm back June 2nd and have better access to type.

    Hope that helps!

    There are several IVF clinics here in MN. The only one I have personal experience with is RMIA. I started seeing one of the doctors there and was not pleased at all. I recently switched to the other, primary, doctor there and like working with him much better.

    Most clinics offer free IVF seminars to get an idea of the process, price, and ask questions. I highly recommend attending the seminar at RMIA. It's free, very informative and it's open to anyone, even if you aren't one of their patients.

    Married since 2005. TTC since August 2011. Dx: Unexplained / Endometriosis. Age: Me, 28 and DH, 28
    March - July 2012: Clomid
    October & November 2012: Follistim + IUI #1 & 2
    February & March 2013: Follistim + IUI #3 & 4
    May 2013: Laparoscopy completed. Stage 3 endometriosis removed.
    August & Sept 2013: Follistim + IUI #5 & #6

    November 2013: IVF, transferred 1= 1st ever BFP! EDD 8/10/2014
