| So I'm just curious here and its sort of a mute point as I am almost finished with my TTC journey, but for those of you that have been or are patients at DF, do you feel their lab is any good? I hope it is and don't want to second guess my decision (irrelevant anyway) but am just curious. I have a DC conceived on the 1st attempt with a different, out of town, clinic and just assumed that I could do it again. Now 6 attempts in still nothing at DF. I am older and I like the practice and my doc quite a bit, but still second guessing myself. |

| This is OP...all attempts were IVF of one form. |

I think that their rates are pretty good for standard IVF. I compared once on the SART website.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda. If their lab wasn't any good they'd be out of business. Don't beat yourself up, you can't change the past. |

| The lab was exceedingly clean when I went there. Everyone in my group (women trying in 3 mon period) got pregnant. It was awhile ago, however. |

| I had success there after multiple failures at the biggest practice in the area so I'm biased in my opinion. |

| Thanks for the responses...and yes, the shoulda, woulda is never a helpful thing to do! I'm sure its just my old eggs, but it makes me feel better to hear the positive feedback. |

I am a happy DF patient...so extremely biased...but...do as Dr. G suggests, compare their DE stats to evaluate the lab...then it takes out the issue of YOUR egg quality, and is a better assessment of the lab, in general.
FWIW...I was 42 when the lab had to freeze/thaw my 5 day embryos from a stimulated IVF (7 of them) because of OHSS. My 42 year old embryos had a 100% freeze/thaw success rate...Dr. G transferred 6 (the seventh looked 'bad')...and I came away from that cycle with 3 initial implantations, and 2 healthy take home babies (one implantation spontaneously aborted). Any lab that can successfully do NCIVF...typically working with one egg, doing ICSI and transferring a single embryo...and do it successfully, AND routinely...it has to be pretty good. A satisfied DF patient... |

| Any clinic's lab that can successfully do NCIVF must be good, we got a BFP after our second attempt at NCIVF. |
