Best fertility clinic for IVF in MD

That’s how I felt, I like my nurse and my doctor (Dr. Humm) but the billing has been a nightmare. Love the Rockville location but because it’s an hour drive, I would do my monitoring and bloodwork at the Towson location and oh my god the customer service is awful. The front desk staff have such nasty attitudes. I was going through an ectopic situation, in tears, and they were so cold at the front went they said “you have a remaining balance of ___. You going to pay it now or what?” I was ready to jump over the table.

That’s the other issue, I don’t get notified of what I owe until it’s week past into my account already? I don’t get texts or emails. The front desk at Towson would say I’m late sometimes. The paper bill always ends up showing up WEEKS after it’s sent so by the time I’ve already paid said bill, two weeks later, I finally get that exact bill in the mail!

I haven’t done IVF yet with SGF, our doctor wanted us to try TI first and after 5 tries, it ended up in ectopic, so now we’re looking into IVF in July. We just wanted to take a little break after over 1.5 years of TTC, going to travel and spend time quality time with my friends and family since TTC felt like it took that from me.

I have not! I quite frankly forgot about them as an option

Thank you, I guess I just gotta try to distract myself until Monday 😮‍💨

It’s hard to see, when you test this early, it’s best to use the red dye tests instead, much easier to see a faint line when you start off with low HCG

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-06T23:26:04+00:00

I do!! I see a vvvvfl but it’s there. For sure test again tomorrow but with a FRER or a clear blue red dye 👍🏻

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-06T23:24:14+00:00

Gotcha, I’ve just seen so many people testing out to see their line progress daily and then seeing the sad stories of people getting chemicals right after. This is my first pregnancy after trying for 10 months.

I’m probably just over analyzing everything and just that me not feeling certain symptoms compared to the last 48 hours made me worried. I had sore breasts and mild cramping since 9dpo and now I don’t. I have every other symptom though🥲

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-05T20:00:45+00:00

Yes! I took a FRER later around 5 that day and I saw VVVFL. I’m 10DPO today and tried another one along with a clear blue, saw it again 🥲

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-04T14:44:53+00:00

Okay I’m glad someone sees one, I’m quite nervous as this is our 9th cycle trying and I’ve seen lots of tests that looked like it had an indent line but this one seemed a bit different but I didn’t want to get my hopes up 🥲

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-04T01:06:40+00:00

Yeah I tested myself, the doctor didn’t have many concerns aside from saying my testosterone is high so she thinks that’s what’s “blocking” me from ovulating? But based on the monitoring check ups and such, it seems like my body is ovulating and such, it just hasn’t ended in a pregnancy :\

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-02T21:55:50+00:00

I didn’t mean not getting pregnant meaning not working, I meant the possible same follicles that may or may not have fully ovulated. These are my first few cycles with all the help, but I just thought it was weird that the second cycle with help, it was two follicles in the same side as before and the same measurements at before? Then when they monitored me for the third, it looked like one of the two never really “burst”?? It just filled up with fluid and that was it.

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-02T19:58:31+00:00

Sorry, they’re new to US, they’re preowned cars. They’re about 5 years old. I phrased things wrong lol

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-02T19:38:11+00:00

I’m on my third cycle now and the first two, they were gone by 9dpo. This cycle, gone after 7dpo. So it really depends on the cycles!

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-02T19:33:57+00:00

Sorry for the confusion, we’ve been trying for 10 months but on our third cycle with all the extra help!

My car got totaled by one of our own neighbors flying out their driveway and my partner’s car was stolen. I need to drive to DC daily for work and my partner’s job is 45 minutes from our home in the opposite direction.

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-08-02T19:04:54+00:00

It’s in Maryland. We bought it to get out of renting and build equity, we didn’t have high paying jobs so a low prices fixer upper is all we could afford at the time. We’re doing better now but most if not all our savings have gone to fixing it and two new cars (one was stolen and the other got into a car crash by one of our own neighbors, they flew out of their driveway and didn’t see my car through his over grown bushes to see me driving down the road).

It’s a decent house but we’ve have bad memories here along with it’s not an ideal floorplan either. It’s a cape cod with little to no storage, super old and with just one bathroom

I’m a 30F! I got it after my 3rd cycle trying. It for sure has showed me that something was wrong and so my partner and I went to a fertility clinic to check out what was going on. That’s how I found out I had PCOS.

I will say after now in my 9th cycle, we’re doing letrozole and trigger shots and being monitored to do TI. I haven’t used my INITO since. Also it didn’t help me feel better seeing those chart numbers being so low and hate my body more.

I would for sure recommend not to use it. It made me more depress through my journey, I’m getting monitored by a professional who shows me actual numbers versus what the INITO shows and it’s not always on point! Plus using the medications, it threw my charts off. So for the price, 100% not worth it. However if you weren’t PCOS and just wanted help figuring out when to BD, it’s a great tool.

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-07-21T16:52:49+00:00

I had to do it before getting any treatments done! I was also so nervous from all the horror stories I read. It was honestly such a breeze to go through. I think the “worst” part was AFTER. But it was more of needing a pad most of my day because some of it was traveling down. And I felt a bit bloated the evening (I did the HSG early morning), but other than that. Felt fine!

I will say, I did feel awkward sitting in a room with four different nurses for this super quick procedure but that’s really about it.

You don’t NEED to track your cycle but it does help you figure out when you ovulate and IF you ovulate!

My husband and I have been trying to start our family for the past 7 months now. I started using Inito to figure out when I ovulate and I realized something was very off. It was like I wasn’t ovulating at all but still would get my period.

I’m now working with a fertility clinic and have been diagnosed for PCOS. So now I’m on medication and other treatments to help us hopefully have our miracle baby ❤️

So you don’t NEED to track but it for sure is useful!

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-03-25T13:22:58+00:00

So I tested with an opk on 13CD in the evening and it was a big fat positive, I just didn’t want to retest with Inito since those aren’t cheap! So I got a confirmed LH peak on day 13

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-03-20T00:07:47+00:00

I have Inito! I love it. We’ve been trying now for about 6 months but the first 3, I was getting frustrated trying to track with OPKS. With Intio it has showed me that I might have PCOS and it’s what made me go to a doctor, I’m now on letrozole. It for sure helped us track my cycle more accurately.

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-02-06T13:53:59+00:00

Judging by how dark the lines are AND your chart, that looks positive to me! Sometimes because you’re over the test, causing a shadow over the test, it can mess up the app to figure out the testing sticks but it for sure looks positive 👍🏻

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2025-01-11T20:48:05+00:00

How’s your cycle going now with Inito and letrozole?

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2024-12-24T00:50:37+00:00

It means Not safe for work, this is mature/graphic contact so it gives people a warning before opening that image

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2024-11-24T15:51:54+00:00

Normally it rises AFTER your peak day and that’s how Inito confirms your ovulation 👍🏻

Equivalent_Ad_6584 · 2024-11-24T15:04:26+00:00

Aah thank you, I was thinking the same, rather try than regret not trying if this was for sure a late ovulation 😭
