[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not go to CFA.  So disorganized. Really bad.  They will waste time you do not have. GW/Frankfurter would be my first stop, and then a phone consult with Cornell/Davis.  Good luck.  [/quote]

GW is not open on the weekends. So, if you’re near the time of trigger on a Friday they’ll just tell you to trigger on Sunday without checking. This is not normal and most places monitor daily to decide the trigger since it’s such a critical step. This resulted in a disaster of a cycle for me. Also, it takes a long time to get appointments with Frankfurter even for established patients. He also wants an appointment at every single possible step rather than just going through a nurse for some things at other places. For example, you can’t just start a new cycle after a fail; you have to wait at least a month to discuss it at an appointment which wastes a lot of time.[/quote]

Yup this happened to me too.  They are open on the weekend actually but really try to minimize the monitoring appointments.  I begged to come in the day they wanted me to trigger and they assured me it wasn’t necessary—>disaster. My cycles since then at SGF have been so much better monitored and led to much better results.  In part I think that’s because SGF has a much better lab which is important if you are only getting a few eggs or your quality is lower.[/quote]

I’m surprised by this - I triggered on the weekend and they opened the clinic to monitor me (they actually insisted upon it). For what it’s worth, the retrieval was successful, they got me PGS normal embryos and I am pregnant with my second now through GW. All the doctors have been caring and readily available with questions. I had a Covid exposure scare the weekend right before my last transfer and Dr. F was so patient and talked to me about 5 times over the phone that weekend. I’m sorry others didn’t have a positive experience but I highly recommend GW.[/quote]
