Shady Grove Fertility vs. CCRM

[Anonymous]

Hello, seeking opinions for deciding between Shady Grove Fertility (Arlington) vs. CCRM (Vienna). We have started the process with both. These are the only two clinics covered by my insurance, so we want to choose one of the two. I have a good quantity of eggs (not embryos) that were previously frozen at a non-local clinic that we will be transporting locally to use, so do not need to do an egg retrieval, but do need to make embryos, genetically test, and transfer an embryo. The process seems slow at both. At Shady Grove Fertility, I was able to get an initial consultation within days. At CCRM, it took 5 weeks. Shady Grove Fertility apparently can take 2-3 months to coordinate the transportation/accepting of eggs from another clinic, whereas that seems substantially faster at CCRM. We think we'll be able to do a regroup appointment at Shady Grove much faster than CCRM. No idea how quickly we'll be able to get on the schedule for the lab to make embryos or for the ultimate transfer. All of that is to say, that there is no clear indication that one will move faster than the other. The nurses have, thus far, been fairly responsive at both locations. Any other insight would be really appreciated.

I have read on this board that shady grove has the best lab and it seems like that is mostly what you need since you have eggs and need to create embryos.
