[quote=Anonymous]I went through SG as a fed a couple years back. As pp said, virtually nothing was covered by insurance so that’s annoying. Otherwise, SG is a machine but I found it to be an effective one. I would recommend having a dr at one of the smaller clinics as your primary (I did Sibley), then going wherever is most convenient for the run-of-the-mill monitoring. That’s what I found worked best for me. Your dr should be very clear about how many eggs you should freeze to  have best odds of having the number of kids you want, but there are never any guarantees, as you know. You’re relatively young though (I was late 30s) so fingers crossed all goes smoothly.

Oh as for shaming, I certainly never experienced any judgment on being single. I think most egg freezing patients are single. On weight, depending on your BMI, you should be prepared for some straightforward (maybe blunt is the better word) discussion of how that may impact chances of success. That just is what it is - this is a very probabilistic business at most of the larger clinics and you’ll find most drs are pretty upfront about various factors that might impact success. For some of us that’s age etc, for you it might be other stuff. I found that for all this process, trying really hard not to take stuff personally was key to getting through it. Especially for freezing, it’s just a backup plan so keeping the emotional investment as low as possible is in your best interests.

Good luck![/quote]
