thinking of switching from ccrm to shady grove... am i crazy?

[Anonymous]

CCRM nova has been underwhelming in almost every way. Maybe it was becuase of too high expectations to begin with. Has anyone switched from CCRM Nova to another practice?

You would need to describe your issues. If you are young or a simple case then SGF is fine.

Please give more details ... have you considered GW or CFA?

I came from GW to CCRM since my insurance said GW was out of network, but CCRM wasn't. I was feeling very optimistic but they've had a range of mistakes they've made, mostly administrative, though one from the embryology department, and I had a disastrous round last month and the doctor isnt switching protocol.

I have pretty bad DOR (like, afc of 5, amh of 0.4), age 36.

I'm getting the feeling that there isn't really any perfect clinic; but perhaps others have experience here that indicate that shopping for another clinic is sometimes worthwhile anyway.

Shady Grove will be a disaster for you then.

Shady grove would not work at all for you

How many rounds have you done at each clinic and what were your results?

To be honest, you haven't done that many rounds ... I would suggest you stick with one clinic if you want to keep trying, I did 2 NCIVF rounds and 3 stim rounds to get to my pregnancy, and my AMH was much higher. I know it is disappointing to have an unsuccessful cycle, but it is also a numbers game. You also have to advocate for yourself. If you want to try a different protocol, voice that opinion.

Similar stats, but then at age 37 had AFC of 4 and AMH of <01. I went with Dominion. I would not use SG for DOR.

FWIW, I also got pregnant naturally with an AMH of .3 at age 35, but I tried for 2 years before that with no pregnancies at all.

My SGF Dr told me after 3 rounds he wouldn't go beyond 4. And then he completely stopped answering my questions going into 4. Seems like he's abandoned me. But I'm 40+

What is DOR?
