[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GW Fertility poo pooed DNA fragmentation, but after 3 failed cycles with them, we want to get fragmentation checked at least. Looking for recommendations for a urologist in DC that will test for DNA fragmentation. MFI is 1% morph and post-wash count ranges from 1-5 million usually, though we did ICSI for IVF.[/quote]

We went around and around and around with GW about this. We ended up doing the DNA frag test on our own after 5 failed rounds of IVF (4 at GW) and the results came back showing high frag and GW still will not listen to our concerns about it being male factor. It’s incredibly frustrating. Bottom line, you’ll probably need to move to a different clinic for help with this. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks for this, I'd also love more detail if you don't mind sharing. We always had good fertilization (though I'm a poor responder, so only a few eggs to work with) through day 3, then everything went to hell. I really liked GW, but now I'm thinking it was a mistake not to get a second opinion on the MFI issues earlier. They say there's not much to do about MFI, so no point in investigating, but my husband is willing to do a TESE. I'm worried that SGF will push donor eggs because we have TERRIBLE results, but not sure what other local options there are.[/quote]
