[quote=Anonymous]It worked for us.  I was a poor responder, and got the donor egg speech from my Shady Grove doctor.  I was only getting 1-3 eggs from stimulated IVFs anyway, and those were mostly low quality embryos.  I thought that the stims were adversely affecting the quality, so rather than do donor eggs, I decided to switch to Dominion Fertility & do NCIVF.  It was much easier than stimulated, and it worked for us.  It did take us several tries.  The first time, we got a great embryo and I had a chemical pregnancy.  The next couple of tries, we had to cancel due to LH surge & no egg at retrieval.  The fourth try, we succeeded & now have a healthy baby girl.  If you have to cancel, they refund a lot of your money.  Out of pocket, it ran us about $13K total (for the four cycles).

FWIW, I really respected my doctor at SG, and I would have stayed there if they had offered natural cycle.  I asked him if he would do it for me, but he refused.  I read the article on their website, and I think that some of the stats are wrong, at least if you're looking at Dominion.  I also think that some of their points aren't valid regarding cost, since it costs much less than a stimulated IVF.

Even Dominion's stats aren't great though, especially for my age group.  I don't know if we just got lucky or what, but it worked for us and we couldn't be happier.  We had just gotten to the point where I wouldn't do another stimulated IVF, and we didn't want to turn to donor eggs (not that there's anything wrong with that!).  [/quote]
