  Yep, had 3 iui's at Park nicollet/Methodist at St. Louis park. My wife also had her IUI there. We were happy with the clinic!

  I did IUIs through North Clinic (both Robbinsdale and Maple Grove). I worked with several of the OBs and liked all of them, I mostly worked with a nurse practitioner who had previously worked at a fertility clinic. The only downside was for DH... the collection was not the best when they put him in an exam room with screaming kids in the next room. If you are oop they also offer cash discounts for prompt payment, this saved us a lot of $$. 

  One of my customers also swears by this clinic, www.obgynmn.com, Dr, Marcus worked with his daughters who both had PCOS. 

  For me one important thing when choosing a clinic was proximity, it is helpful to not be driving all over town when you have multiple appointments over several weeks. 

  Good luck!

  Me: 40, Hypothyroidism, well managed, TSH 1.99

  DH: 44 Fine except for low morphology

  If you intend on taking meds with your IUIs (i.e. Clomid, injectables, etc.), please do not see an OB! You will find that the advice on these boards is quite consistent that OBs are good at keeping you pregnant, not getting you pregnant. Many OBs will hand out Clomid like candy, with no monitoring, which is very dangerous. If you're under 35 and have been trying for over a year, or over 35 and have been trying for 6+ months, or if you have some other condition that prevents pregnancy, then look into a RE. Some OBs will do IUIs, but again, some OBs are quite irresponsible with monitoring.
  
  Anyway, my husband and I completed 3 IUI cycles at RMIA in Woodbury, but I do not recommend them. I have several friends who have been to CRM and have had great success! DH and I are in the process of switching to this group so I have no personal experience with this group yet, but I do hear wonderful things about their office! They have two- one in St. Paul and one in Minneapolis. They do IUIs and IVF, if you ever decide to switch to IVF.
  
  Good luck with whatever you decide!
