IVF Clinical Trial Questions

After our 4th failed attempt at IUI last spring, my husband and I decided it was time to switch gears and focus on fostering to adopt to complete our family. We just bought a house and I just decided to leave my job after 10 years and become a homemaker. Today I was on my fertility specialists website to make an appt and noticed they are running clinical trials for IVF!! Has anyone done this that could give me some advice/info?? I've been trying to make an appt but haven't heard from the office yet!

    I am so interested to hear what you find out! I've been googling and looking for clinical trials in my home state and states where I have family members I could stay with. I hope this works out for you!! Hopefully someone here will have some valuable insight. If not, can you please let me know what your clinic says when you find out?
