[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess, dr sagoskin?[/quote]

Dr Sagoskin was my RE and recommended I do IUI vs IVF after being diagnosed with unexplained.  He said IVF is usually fastest path to baby since much higher statistics, but it was ultimately our choice when we started.

When I mc on my 3rd IUI and was getting my blood work to confirm HCG levels, the nurse asked me who my doctor was.  When i said "Sagoskin," her response was "he'll prob recommend IVF next but it's because he's focused on getting a baby in your arms the fastest."

Lo and behold, Sagoskin recommended trying IUI again and that round is my daughter.

Sagoskin may be inclined to recommend IVF first, but remember 1) he's one of the co-founders of SGF and 2) he takes multiple factors, and success rates, into consideration.  He may not be the most beloved RE but he knows his stuff.[/quote]

Yup, our doctor is Dr. Sagoskin. Guess it's a similar pattern! I keep trying to remind myself that he's the co-founder and he knows his stuff. He did specifically say "I know you want a baby yesterday," so I totally understand that IVF is the quickest way to get there. I guess I just wanted more information and other options, and if there weren't other options, to tell me why that won't work.

I ended up following up through the portal asking a couple questions including if IUI was an option based on our results, and the (very) brief answer was that it was an option but "won't help recurrent miscarriages" of which I've had two (not in a row, but on either side of our first child).

This is all really good to hear though. [/quote]
