[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cycled with Dr. Udoff once before (several IUIs and one round of IVF, resulting in our wonderful miracle bun) and decided to go back to him for round 2 (currently in the thick of it, fingers crossed.)

I did a ton of research, interviewed three REs/clinics and he's the one I ultimately chose. There are a couple of things that helped me to decide -- if you look at the CDC success rates with a critical eye, as in, not just the summary statistics, but all of the data, including patient characteristics (older women, multiple fertility issues, etc.) -- their outcomes are impressive. Dr. Udoff himself might not be the most warm and fuzzy of the bunch, but he's willing to actually talk to you -- discuss options, listen to things you've come across in your own research, it's a genuine back-and-forth, as opposed to plenty of REs out there, who are...well, not like that. In the relationship with your RE, as in any other one, trust is earned and he has definitely earned mine.

Also, the clinic is small and you get to know/bond with the staff. The phlebotomist and the ultrasound technician are absolutely fabulous and the nurses (who are the ones you'll mostly be interacting with at any clinic) are great.

Feel free to ask me anything you want. This being the Internets, I know you don't have any guarantees that I'm not a GIVF plant, or a 60-year-old dude, masquerading as a fertility patient :) (for the record, I'm neither of those things), but I've been where you are and remember how nerve-wrecking every step of this process is, including picking a clinic, so I'll be happy to help with any info. Good luck! [/quote]

Thank you for this message! I am not the OP, but I think my husband and I just decided on GIVF for frozen egg donor services (as they work with Fairfax egg bank which is where we found out preferred donor). I was trying to do some research on GIVF and this message was so reassuring! We had an initial consult with them, but it's helpful to hear this information from someone else.[/quote]
