Did you get PGTA ? Which clinic? New hope? Allcare Or legacy?

New Hope. Did acupuncture in conjunction through the process. Last embryo worked.

Where did you get acupuncture? Thanks

The NYU doctor sounds very good, and seems highly recommended. Similar to a previous poster I would recommend at least a consult with Cornell as Cornell and CCRM LT are seen as two of the best options in the country for women over 40 and Cornell is much closer. I am a patient at CCRM LT and find it to be a MUCH better clinic than CCRM NoVA. I will say it takes awhile to get in with CCRM LT so I'd factor the timeline into your decision.

I will talk to Dr Gustofson this Friday and Dr Jennifer Blakemore this Tuesday. If timing is not a concern, which one would you recommend then?

Read up on each Drs reviews on fertility IQ. You've already had reviews on this post. You need to go with your gut and whichever Dr is the most confident they can help you. Ymmv

At Cornell people recommend Dr. Davis. He’s big on fresh day 3 transfers. Older women with low ovarian reserve sometimes report success with him after failure elsewhere.

Thanks a lot. My ovarian reserve seems to be fine (AMH is 2.0). but I am very worried about the quality of eggs and not passing PGTA. I scheduled an appointment with Dr Davis. I found the following on ivauthority.com based on 2019 data. Why are the average number of transfers and live birth rates so different?

IVF Clinics for Women Age over 40 by Nondonor Eggs Live Birth Success Rate
1. COLORADO CENTER FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE
Total IVF Cycles at Age>40:855
Total Transfers at 41-42: 79
Ave number transfers:0.2
Live Births at 41-42: 62.0

2. NYU LANGONE FERTILITY CENTER (NEW YORK, NY)
Total IVF Cycles at Age>40:793
Number of transfers: 119
Ave number transfers: 0.3
Live Birth Rate: 37.8%

3. WEILL CORNELL MEDICINE, CENTER FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE (NEW YORK, NY)

NYU turns down people big they don't think they can take them on or get them pregnant. On one hand it's nice - because they aren't taking your money for nothing but it's really to make sure their stats are high.

I see it as a positive but people could argue that it's not fair. I appreciate the honesty.

I know that RMA New Jersey's age cutoff point on IVF is 45 and CCRM lone tree is 52. And I was told that there is no age cutoff for IVF at NYU by the front desk.

Age alone isn't a reason a clinic wouldn't take you or be honest about not being confident of helping.

OP, how did your appointments go?

Jennifer Blakemore was not that welcoming or warm-hearted as described by others. She said a lot of discouraging words instead of focusing on the best treatment plan for me. She might only like those patients under 40. But she said that she was flexible with IVF treatment her patients want, like 4-5 untested embryo transferred at the same time. She should have at least 15-20 patients in a cycle each week. Is it normal for IVF centers?

Aren't those pretty standard stats for 42? At 38 mine were 30+ eggs, 17 mature, 14 fertilized, 7 day 6 and 1 PGT normal.
