[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP why did you choose Dr. Moon as your possible RE from SGF? They have a slew of doctors to choose from. Just curious. If you are looking for warm and fuzzy, there are other SGF doctors we can suggest.[/quote]
My ob suggested me to see her. 
I actually don’t care about warm and fuzzy, I want the best! 
I want to do this once: I get extremely depressed and anxious on meds- my psychiatrist is working on it- we are self pay and to top it all off: I have DOR at 36! 
I liked Dr. Moon she was to the point, didn’t waste time but during both IUI’s we did my eggs were ripened sooner than they thought. Every time they rushed me into insemination- that might have probably passed the window- my AMH was low .17 but no one tested my vitamin D supplement. After being on vitamin D supplement it has increased to .5 . I guess I felt like may be at SGF [b]they don’t customize their protocol.[/b] SGF is convinient and I love my nurse. She didn’t recommend pgs testing for us but she wanted to transfer one embryo at a time. She guestimate she could get 1-3 embryos which I thought were low numbers and I wanted a little more aggressive treatment to push the limit may be?
I heard a lot about CCRM in Colorado and their success rate: when I heard they have a branch in Virginia I was happy to have a second opinion . Dr. Payson originally met with me and reviewed all previous procedures that I had provided with documents and test result and told me he would be able to get 5 embryos with an aggressive protocol and told me I may get hyperstimulated and sick- which I am fine with that too- as we discussed he said it would be temporarily and if we do the pgs testing - they call it ccs- he will transfer one if we opt not to do the testing he will transfer two. After the one day work up  he said the same thing as Dr. Moon said possible 1-3 embryos and starting on a standard protocol and testing or no testing one transfer at a time although we are ok with possible twins.
I simply didn’t like the fact that he changed what he originally told us without giving me explanations of why he changed what he said. It almost liked he over sell it in the begining.

PP here who had Dr. Moon for years and then switched to GW.  SGF doesn't really customize their protocol, esp in the beginning.  They are hesitant to think outside the box.  I had to advocate for myself to do additional testing that they didn't think was necessary.  Not that the testing showed anything that needed to be fixed but I wanted to make sure I covered all my bases b/c so many FETS with PGS tested normal embryos failed and we all thought it would be easy considering I had gotten pregnant before.  Unfortunately, it's not always as easy as a+b=pregnant which is so frustrating, esp when you're spending all this money and the medications do a number on you.  I was told that it's an art, to artificial reproduction.  [/quote]
