I'm curious which clinic you're seeing. I first went to U of MN 2 yrs ago but never moved forward with treatment. Now I'm going to CRM and just about to start IVF. I felt like I got more info from CRM so think we're in good hands now. What I found interesting is that I called a couple of other clinics, and with any and all of them, I would've been able to get in very quickly, within a couple of weeks. Seems like others state it can take months to get an RE appt.
I've only been in the Twin Cities area for 3 yrs but feel lucky to have great health care!

Re: Anyone from Minneapolis?
I'm also from the Twin Cities! We currently go to Reproductive Medicine and Infertility Associates (RMIA) in Woodbury, and it's just ok. We have had a couple of bad experiences with one nurse in particular, and the doc that we're working with seems quite uninterested, like she's been doing this for too long and needs to retire. LOL! Of course, since we haven't gotten a BFP yet, I say these things. However, like katemonster had said, we'd all probably end up loving any doc that gets us pregnant! We have only done IUIs, and if we need to switch to IVF, we will likely switch clinics. We're attending the IVF seminar in March at CRM because I've heard SUCH great things about this clinic.

We are starting to get more serious about moving forward with next steps. I saw Dr. Corfman at Midwest Centers for Reproductive Health in MG and my husband just has his SA there as well... I feel on the phone they are very short at times. @katemonster1 - why did you prefer CRM (and where is that?).
Did anyone else try a few places before they decided? We live in Rockford, so I do like the idea of a Maple Grove location vs Minneapolis for convenience.
