[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stats can be manipulated- mainly by cancelled cycles or not taking on “harder” patients. The most important thing is how they decide protocols and if they are willing to zig/zag/try new things (like mini stim or estrogen priming) for women over 40.  Many will not and take your money over and over again and shrug when you fail.

Secondly is lab quality. I am now convinced after many many years of cycling and days away from having my second DD that the lab is essential. If you arent making blasts it could be lab quality - i was always told nope it was a me problem.

OP here. What do you look for when evaluating lab quality? Is it a lab with its own donor program, and good stats related to it (like some posters on DCUM say)? To me though, it seems like donors are usually young and have a good diagnostic profile, so the stats would be better by default if you have an extensive donor program.

So should we look at successful transfer rates? In this case, I would want to know how many cancelled cycles they have.

How else would you evaluate for a good lab?
