[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not what you're asking exactly, but we left the area and went to Cornell. Worked with Shady Grove, and though they help a lot of people, we weren't happy there. Their cookie cutter approach didn't work for us, and they were unwilling to change the protocol that obviously wasn't working.

Many women like Columbia Fertility because Dr. Abassi believes in immune issues and tests for them, though she's not an RI like Dr. Braverman (in NY) or Dr. Kwak Kim (in Chicago).

Had the CCRM location been open a few years ago when we switched from SG to Cornell, we probably would've gone there instead. [/quote]

When you say Cornell do you mean Weill Cornell Medicine Center for Reproductive Medicine. https://ivf.org
How does it work if you go to a clinic in NYC when you live in D.C.?

Thanks so much for the help.  :) [/quote]

My DW did early monitoring at Shady Grove but then went to Cornell fairly early in the cycle as the doctors there do the monitoring, not a tech. They make very small adjustments to meds as a result of the monitoring - this is part of what makes them so excellent.

Generally she would go up a few days before me as we did have one child at the time she was cycling with them. We are lucky to have family in the area, because when it was time for me to go up (a day before retrieval usually) we'd leave DS with his grandma and aunt.

We preferred Air B&B leading up to transfer, and would usually come home between retrieval and transfer day to save a little money and so DW could be with DS. A couple of trips we took DS with us - Cornell is open to having children in their waiting room (but I often kept him downstairs during monitoring out of courtesy for the other patients). It seems like a lot to coordinate, but it worked and I would do it all over again to have the baby we have now. And spending time in NYC isn't all bad, either. [/quote]
