[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a little plug for SG since they got me pregnant on the first try with DE. They are good at DE! And they only freeze top quality embryos there.[/quote]

You're one of the lucky ones.

I got pregnant the first time with DE at SG (fresh, the frozen is way too expensive) and miscarried at 9 weeks as did all three recipients.  SG then tried to tell me I had to use the frozen embryos from that donor.  After two months of fighting while I recoverd from the miscarriage, they sensed I would be pulling out (thus taking my money with me) they allowed me to switch donors.  Someone I know in RBA's guarantee program ($30,500) didn't even have to ask after her m/c, her doctor told her he'd see if there were any m/cs in the donor's history, and if there were she could move on to a new donor.  We don't come to DE to take on another woman's fertility problems.  SG is pure corporate--and in this process, that kind of heartlessness can cost you physically and emotionally.

Now, due to my nurse's lack of responsiveness I had a compromised protocol (by the time she gave me the schedule, the day before lupron, no time for the scrapings that help me build up my lining) and totally due to my nurse's lack of responsiveness, an unacceptably late date for the frozen transfer from the last cycle, which didn't include a transfer due to the inadequacy of my lining, which has that last donor cycle starting in July and not finishing till the end of this year.

When I complain about the lack of responsiveness, there is never an apology, only excuses that I would expect from a child who hasn't done their homework, not professionals taking responsibility.   It wouldn't fix the consequences but I definitely would have felt better to hear "I'm so sorry" as opposed to the patronizing "I understand your frustration".  It's corporate, not medical or human.

I regret starting with SG, and even moreso, staying with them for a second cycle.  I started with DE one year ago and have yet to have a second transfer.  I've read people's experiences with RBA and no way does RBA cause this kind of headache and heartache.  I will be going to RBA after this transfer if it doesn't work.  I would leave now except that I already paid SG for the embryo that was created and can't get that donor fee back, but I'll be quite happy to be taking my cycle fees back from them.

RBA has been doing frozen donor egg a lot longer and their success rate is a little higher, that's the main reason to go there instead of SG, the next is price, the third is that SG makes me and others feel like I have to watch my back and I don't like that feeling from a doctor or service provider.
