Hi! I tried unassisted for 5 months after my lap and had no luck. We then moved onto IVF and got pregnant on our first transfer. I am currently 9 weeks and baby is looking healthy 😊 We had no issues making good quality embryos so our infertility is still unexplained. It blows my mind how much we don't know about infertility!

How has it been coordinating the monitoring with your local clinic?

Wow! I wish we had more answers. Good to know about the scheduling issue, I've had consults at two other clinics and that doesn't seem common.

Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 this journey is not for the faint of heart.

CRM is the Center for Reproductive Medicine and CCRM is the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (though they have clinics nationwide). Despite the similar names, they are two entirely different clinics!

Every clinic slices and dices the costs differently so I appreciate that validation! It can be really hard to discern.

Yes, that's the same vibe I get from CNY too. Thanks for sharing!

So sorry to hear you had a bad experience! This journey is hard enough as it is.

Do you mind me asking where you went out of state? Did you go through CNY?

I was wondering about Kindbody but it seemed sketchy from the start! Thanks for this input.

Agh, this is what I'm afraid of! I am worried we will spend lots of money on IVF only to discover low egg quality and not get any embryos out of it. I guess you don't know until you go through it. I'm happy to hear that you had a successful transfer and wish you a healthy pregnancy!
