Referred to local RE: 6/22/2010 HSG + Saline sonogram: 8/13/2010 IUI #1: BFN 09/2010 IUI #2: BFN 10/2010 IUI #3: + acupuncture: BFN 12/26/2010 Laparoscopy: Diagnosed and cleaned out endometriosis 1/9/2012 IVF#1 (ICSI): Long Lupron + acupuncture = Cancelled 1/11/2013 Second opinion phone consult with CCRM: 5/13/2013 ODWU at CCRM: 6/10/13 IVF #2 (ICSI): Estrogen Priming Protocol - ER 9/28/2013 = 7 eggs retrieved, 4 fertilized (banked and frozen at one cell stage for PGD testing with embies next retrieval) IVF #3 (ICSI): Estrogen Priming Protocol - ER 1/10/14 = 8 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilized. My 4 from previous cycle were thawed at Day 1 to grow to Day 5 blastocyst phase with my 3 fresh embryos. Only 2 embryos made blastocyst and were biopsied for CCS testing. Both were abnormal. Nothing to transfer from either cycle. Told that I should move onto other options.Grieving loss of any biological children with my genes.
I haven't cycled there but lots of ladies on my other boards (PVED) have -- you might want to intro over there if you haven't already to discuss. Other places to consider (with high DE success rates) are Oregon Reproductive Medicine and Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago. If it were me I'd choose ORM out of all of these, because they have great success rates AND do significantly more eSETs (elective single embryo transfers) -- making their already high success rates even more impressive. I have heard anecdotally that SDFC can be discouraging of eSETS.
(I cycled in NYC so have no personal experience with any of these clinics.)
@sophistikitty and @mm29 - would you mind sending me a PM also about SDFC? I am considering looking at a new clinic as well and SFDC is on my list.
Thanks!
