[quote=Anonymous]If you want another opinion— I started off at GW with Dr. Humm and loved her and the fact that it was a small practice.  She was always so positive and sympathetic.  She encouraged us and even said it was “if, not when” for us.  But during and after IVF #2 it was a total disaster. They only brought me in twice for monitoring despite me pleading to come in the day of trigger. They hate bringing people in on the weekends.  (When doing other consults two area doctors said “they didn’t bring you in the day of trigger? Oh let me guess, was it on the weekends? “)Then after worse than expected results again, with no blasts, Dr. humm just said I guess that’s the best you can do and your eggs quality is probably just not good.  I still wanted to stay there, but felt we should consult other clinics just to confirm. We saw 5 doctors, locally and in other places.  Every single one pointed out issues that we had remarked on at the time but been told “oh don’t worry this is fine” etc.  They also didn’t understand why GW was so conservative in their approach.

Given covid we decided to go with Dr. Devine at SGF and actually got into the shared risk program.  SGF is such a high volume lab, I think they probably have the best lab locally. Sure the whole experience was less personal, but the quality of care was light years better.  They were monitoring me so much more closely.  I didn’t talk to Dr. Devine at all, but I’m not about being her friend, I’m about having a great cycle. We knocked it out of the park with a 60% blast rate, even though we never got a blast at GW.  They said my egg quality looked great.  SGF is a factory and if you are doing IUI or something like that, it might not be what you want, but if you get to IVF, I think you have to consider it, especially with the financial options they offer.[/quote]
