[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you done an ERA?  Over a number of cycles we put back 7 blasts (untested) supported with PIO shots but I never got pregnant. This summer I had an ERA that showed the embryos put back on day 5 were going in one day too early. We have 2 more frozen blasts and this month I am starting one last fresh retrieval to give this new information its best chance to succeed.  When they gave me the results to the ERA they said they felt it was a good answer bc "it allows them to try something new."   [/quote]

I have not done an ERA, I will look into it.  What practice are you going to?  I have been going to Dominion, but honestly am not thrilled with their communication (or lack thereof).  Thanks![/quote]

I am pp and am actually getting treated at Penn medicine in Philadelphia bc their prices are significantly cheaper than DC. I have family who live near by so I just go up the night before monitoring appts or arrange to work remotely in the few days leading up to a retrieval. I am luck to have the flexibility.   Before I went to Penn I did IVF with Columbia (nice, but expensive) and had a terrible experience with SGF. [/quote]

Do you mind sharing more about your experience at Columbia and SGF?[/quote]

I saw Dr. Sach's at Columbia whom I liked a lot. He does the monitoring himself and makes adjustments. He is very kind.  He listens to your concerns and talks through options. I would say they were very focused on PGS testing and single embryo transfer.  I had at least one known PGS normal embryo put back on day 5 that didnt take; it makes me sort-of sad about the knowledge gleaned from the ERA. That said, I know its an emerging test that wasnt really available when it happened.

My experience at SFG (before Columbia) was not great; their practice is just too cookie cutter. They had me start with IUIs but they were administered w/o monitoring; I was instructed to buy my own OPKs and tell them when I thought I was ovulating. I did 3, none worked.  Then I was rejected me for IVF bc of my BMI. I know I am overweight but also muscular and my BMI is affected by that combo; they were never clear about the medical science supporting their policy. I worked with a nutritionist for a few months but that only wasted time. I have since learned there is in fact no reason to think my weight would affect IVF success given my situation; SGF just didnt want to deal with someone outside their norms.
