[quote=Anonymous]Assuming you don't work for Dominion, I'm glad you had a good experience there and got a BFP.  To provide a different perspective (even though we've had the Dominion Fertility debate before on this forum)... they insisted that I do ICSI even though we don't have male factor and I told Dr Dimatina that I didn't think ICSI had been adequately studied to warrant using it in cases where there wasn't a proven need.  He told me, "I am the doctor and that's the end of it."  Needless to say, we went to SG where they didn't do ICSI and all of my eggs fertilized (and I saved the ~$2000 they charge for ICSI).

Also, a friend of mine at Dominion was advised to transfer 2 five day blasts that were great quality in her first round of IVF -- even though there are serious health risks to having twins and my friend was only 30 and it was her first IVF cycle.  She is now pregnant with twins.  At SG they encourage eSET in such cases, even though it may affect their success rates.  And Dr Stillman has been vocal about decreasing the number of multiples born thru IVF.

That said, I think at SG (or anywhere you are receiving any medical treatment), you have to advocate for yourself -- if something doesn't seem right, ask!!![/quote]
