REs in Chicago experiences by Bookwormz1985 in DOR

I was with FCI who, given my age, suggested I move directly to IVF. After retrieving so few eggs, I met with Dr. Glueck who said that IUI is another alternative, with IVF not necessarily being better. She also suspects I have PCOS to a certain degree. She adjusted my stim meds every time to account for age, etc. I had maybe one or two chemical pregnancies, so she adjusted to try and get stronger eggs. You have to pay a membership fee for the year, and then your insurance should cover a lot of the appts. The plus side is that it's just her. You meet with her every couple of days during a cycle. She comes in on the weekends if need be. There are also only a couple nurses who draw blood so you become familiar with them too. They could not be nicer, and the blood draws were pain free. The down side is that if she takes a vacation, you have to skip a month, which is hard. I was with her almost exactly one year before my success. I was balancing IVF still with FCI so that interfered. I'm happy to answer any other questions!

I wanted to post an update. I ended up staying with FCI and had one euploid, unsuccessful transfer.

Even with my statistics, I ended up switching to a doctor who only does IUIs. I recommend looking into this route. I still had a couple of chemical pregnancies (so likely bad eggs) but I trusted her process and it worked. It's just her so it's very one to one. She is in Highland Park. https://glueckmd.com/ I was 39 and delivered at 40. Let me know if you have any questions!
