[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm searching the archives, but also wanted to see if there is any current feedback.  We just passed cycle 6.  DH has low testosterone and his primary just wrote him a referral for a SA and recommended Shady Grove.  I see the WHC Midwives for GYN care and don't have fertility coverage currently, so will do as much preliminary testing as possible coding it as irregular periods until I can switch insurance plans in January.  Should we go to SGF or try somewhere else?  GWU maybe?  Thanks![/quote]

You're going to get a lot of different perspectives on this forum.  I had a good experience at SGFC (saw Dr. Widra) and while I was older and we had MF issues, too, was lucky to have two successful pregnancies (1st try for DC1 and 3rd try for DC2).

SGFC is convenient with multiple locations, it was covered by my insurance, and there are a lot of good docs there - I saw Widra but liked several other doctors who I met along my treatments.  The nurses are okay, some definitely better than others.  And, ultimately, I got pregnant and when the second time around I had trouble with my first cycle, Widra was able to try different meds/approaches that resulted in my second pregnancy.  But there's not a lot of hand-holding at SGFC. Widra was great and very supportive, but he is not touchy feely.

And YMMV - I think the recommendations for other clinics come from people who either felt like SGFC didn't work for their particular infertility issue or that SGFC was too "factory like".  I can understand the latter sentiment to some degree though again, ultimately have two kids thanks to them. For me, out of town travel and limited locations locally were non starters. [/quote]
