[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When comparing SG to CFA, SG is the clear winner. But after multiple failed cycles and the same protocol, I really feel like I need a new clinic.

I met with Dr. Abassi and right off the bat she said she wouldn't be using the same protocol I was on at SG and would explore all my baseline immune numbers. I am nervous to leave SG given their success rates in general, but I don't know how many more cycles it would be worth doing there if nothing changes. It seems it is a numbers game there- keep doing IVF and eventually something will stick.

Our original diagnoses was MFI and so we lack high quality embryos, but in the last year I have had two miscarriages from cycles and two BFNs from cycles. I am 37 and have Hashi's. Where else should I be looking?

If you left SG, where did you go, why and did you have more success?[/quote]

i left SG after an early miscarriage, did some testing at columbia, but the testing came back all negative for any immune issues.  ended up going back to SG and did shared risk PGS IVF and had success (12 weeks now) on my first FET.  in between i consulted with Braverman in NJ and Frankfurter at GW.  The consults were very reassuring, and i highly recommend doing that.  because i had a lot of knowledge at that point, when my TSH came back slightly high before the IVF cycle, and SG thought it wasn't a problem, i decided to go independently to an endocrinologist and get on levox. SG had no problem with this.  i have no idea if it made a difference, but i felt like i was doing everything i could.  it is empowering to hear from other dr's.  keep in mind that GW docs do not generally believe the repro. immune issues are legitimate.  i think it is good to hear from all both sides what they recommend in your case.  part of the reason i stayed with SG was the lab, but if i had any indication of immune issues, i might have switched (probably to braverman.)  also i switched SG docs to the sibley office, which i preferred.
