[quote=Anonymous]Who said OP didn't get pregnant or has a kid through SG?

I had a baby 2 years ago from SG and had a horrible experience.  I think maybe DC folk are so used to bad behavior by staff at various places they have no idea its unacceptable.

I still can't stand SG after seeing the drama it has brought to my friends.

I have seen them turn a 35 year old friend who was peri-menapauseal away because she couldn't afford donor eggs.  She got pregnant at dominion with IUI and clomid after 2 cycles.

I had a friend who asked for a second opinion on her protocol (she got preggo on the first IVF cycle) and was told if she was going to question her doctor like that she could go somewhere else.  For those who think you can just switch - really - waiting 6 weeks to get an appt; maybe waiting another month or two so SG can run tests and then being told the day you are going to start to go somewhere else?  That's stressful and uncalled for.  I had to explain to the same friend how IVF worked because SG never did - she wanted to know what was going to happen to her body; what to expect; etc.  She signed up to run a 10 k right before her egg retrieval - no one at SG told her she would be too uncomfortable to do it let alone she could burst one of her ovary.  She had a TON of eggs (its why it worked on the first time).  She faked a flu to get out of the race that she was doing with friends - most people don't tell everyone that they are doing this until its done.

BTW these are all gay women like me - so all using donor sperm.

I'd love to hear what the husbands who have to donate at SG think about the place.  I remember seeing men walk in and looking horribly uncomfortable.  Uncomfortable for them emotionally though is kind of comical vs all of us who have to have vaginal ultrasounds (which btw is just par for the course for IVF).  What isn't par for the course is having someone walk in while you are "open to the world" without knocking.  Yeah that happened to me.

Are you supposed to tolerate bad behavior to have a kid?

I'm gay I knew going into SG I would see a thousand times - husband.  I think they have changed that to partner so that is a step in being human especially in an area like DC.[/quote]
