[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did 3 rounds at Shady Grove before switching clinics to CCRM, and managed to do my first two rounds at CCRM within a year of starting at Shady Grove, so it's definitely possible to do 4 rounds in a year.

I started priming for my first cycle at Shady Grove in late July, retrieval in August, second retrieval in November, third in January. First cycle at CCRM was in April, second one there was in June. That year was brutal in so many ways, so I'd really encourage you to have all kinds of support lined up.

Things really need to line up, you need to really advocate for yourself, and don't expect anyone at SFG to care about how many cycles you'd like to do. This will feel like a legit part time job.

Good luck![/quote]

How did you find the difference between Shady Grove and CCRM? We are in your same position, considering switching from Shady Grove to CCRM after three unsuccessful cycles. Unfortunately, Dr. Paysom is not available until July and he comes most highly recommended.[/quote]

I *love* Dr Owen, so don't wait on Payson. She was incredible throughout our entire (very long) journey. I would recommend CCRM every time over SGF, and we had our first child with SGF (so success isn't influencing that recommendation). SGF felt like a true assembly line, they're always late, hard to get appointments, and just generally, I encountered more grumpy staff than at CCRM. It made an unpleasant situation that much worse.

My doc at SGF (Osborne) was no help and not interested in trying anything other than their standard protocols. Dr. Owen and I discussed several options and tried different protocols (mini stim, fresh transfers). I felt supported and like my questions/concerns/wonderings were considered and I got some kind of response.

If you're looking to continue, do a consult with Owen. You'll have some of the same frustrations that come with fertility treatments, but for me, it was night and day after I switched. [/quote]
