I have had many parallels to your experience at Dominion with DiMattina. I am wondering, did you switch clinics before doing a FET? Have you found success at GW and were you able to transfer your oocytes or embryos to GW? [/quote]

I'm the 10:26 poster, sorry it took a while to reply. I did not have transfer at Dominion. Both embryos were PGS abnormal. That's actually another thing I'm pissed at Dominion about. I wanted to keep my PGS "abnormal" embryos as backup as there are a ton of literature on healthy live births after so-call "abnormal" PGS results. I was assured by Holi and Dr. DiMattina they would store these embryos which is the only reason I consented to PGS in the first place. However, Dominion destroyed these embryos without my permission. I've been considering legal action.

I ended up having almost as bad of an experience at GW. Frankfurter seemed very thoughtful. However, it turns out GW does not do weekend monitoring. I had a monitoring appointment after 6 days of stims on a Friday. I was told to trigger on Sunday without any additional monitoring. If you've done IVF before, you know that most places are doing daily monitoring because the day of the trigger is so important. It was objectively my worse cycle, just one day 3 embryo frozen due to recent submucosal fibroid removal (missed by Dominion despite many ultrasounds). Frankfurter was PISSED that I dared question the cycle timing at the WTF appointment.

I'm now with Dr Davis at Cornell. My cycle at Cornell was not successful, but had the most potential. I'm taking a holiday break from IVF, but will probably cycle at Cornell again even though it's tedious.

I think the clinics in this area just suck and you really have to go out of town if you're a poor responder. Best of luck to you. [/quote]
