[quote=Anonymous]I have found that success with CFA depends on which doctor you have and what your particular situation is.

Our infertility issues were very straight forward and CFA did not come through for me. I did 2 IVFS with them. However, I'll always wonder if Sacks or Abbasi was my doctor if the outcome would have been different. Rifka is most definitely old school, but very nice. His protocols seem to work 60% of time and he's at the end of his career, made his money, drives his bentley to work, I don't think he's that interested in new technologies or protocols. Rifka is great, but if you fail once with him, go get a second opinion elsewhere.

I went to an out of state clinic and got pregnant on my first IVF attempt and have 5 embryos in the freezer. I never had more than 3 to freeze at CFA and only 1 survived the thaw when I did do a FET.

I don't think CFA uses vitrification to freeze embryos, which can be crucial for some people who don't produce high quality embryos. Greater chance of embryos surviving thaw if vitrification is used. Also, CFA doesn't offer IMSI or PICSI, which are also crucial for those with sperm issues.[/quote]
