[quote=Anonymous]I've been to three REs in the area (Dr. Dimattina at Dominion, Dr. Nair at SG and Dr. Abbasi at CFA).  I would recommend getting all the testing done somewhere before committing to do IVF anywhere.  There is a TON of testing to do before you even get started with actual IVF.  This is testing beyond what your OB-GYN does.  SG is a good place to do that because they're pretty organized and comprehensive, although Abbasi at CFA will do more of the unconventional testing (e.g., for immune issues).  Once you figure out what your specific issues are, you may be better able to assess which clinic is best for you by showing them your results and asking them to tell you what protocol they would recommend for you.

We have DOR and MFI so had more difficulty than we imagined we would.  We are about to start a cycle with CRMI up in NYC because of their experience and success with both of these issues.

I agree that you should check the SART stats but make sure to check with respect to your age and issues.  Also, if you have enough money only for a few cycles, it is worth looking into the shared risk thing at SG.  CFA gives you a cycle on the house if you fail two cycles so that's a nice backup to have.  Each clinic has different doctors so don't be afraid to meet different ones until you find one you feel comfortable with.

Good luck OP!
