[quote=Anonymous][quote=fhk202]Hello everyone.
Original poster here.

First and foremost this was my first post ever and I am so thankful and appreciative of every one of your responses.
It has given me so much hope and encouragement to move forward. You guys have no idea :( Thank you again.

It's been really hard.
Yesterday husband and I had a follow up appointment with our doctor at SGF (Dr. Doyle) and he (very gently and empathetically) recommended that we go to CCRM since they do use different culture media in their labs than SGF does.
He is really rooting for our success, whether it be SGF or elsewhere. I appreciated his recommendation although hubby did not (thinks he wants to sorta get rid of us since we will screw up SGF's success rates).

A lot of people responded that they recommend Cornell. I'm originally a New Yorker who had lived in Manhattan for 15 years and of course back then I wasn't seeking serious fertility treatment. 
I was a patient at NYU Fertility for a little bit before husband and I moved here. I guess that's how life goes. Maybe I should go to Cornell for an initial consult as well...

I've made an appt with Dr. Owen at CCRM for now. 
According to google reviews, Dr. Payson is rated really highly there. But I look at Dr. Owen's credentials and I'm leaning towards her.

Anyone who is/was a current or past patient at CCRM- Please let me know your thoughts on doctor choice.

Thank you so so much.[/quote]

I was with SGF a few years back and your husband is not completely off track.  After no success there (multiple rounds of TI, IUI and IVF), they told me that they can't help me and to seek a second opinion elsewhere which is a polite way of saying "you are messing up our success rates" (which they clearly care about as #1 or #2 clinic in the country). I am now at CCRM which has more personalized, individualized approach but their are big into loving their lab and advocating day 5-6 transfers after PGS testing. Dr. Owen is a young RE career-wise (she just got Board certified) but is eager and earnest and (my perception) trying hard to be liked. Not sure if she gets clinical advice from the two more senior CCRM doctors but when she did my cycle monitoring, she was very thorough. [/quote]
