[quote=Anonymous][quote]Cute how you think cdc collects data. The institution reports it to the cdc. The cdc doesn't have someone on site collecting it.

I didn't specifically say that the CDC collects the data... I suggested that if SGF can 'fudge' their data then why can't all IVF clinics.  Or are all IVF clinics complete honest and SGF is just 'Shady' (pun intended).  I really just meant that when someone states you can't trust their stats that are reported to the CDC then you can't trust any.  And a clinic would lose their license if they were falsely reporting their stats and this was discovered.

Also, any clinic can deny you for treatment for various reasons - too fat (which is me according to my BMI), too old (getting close), low ovarian reserve (check), too high thyroid (check)... but some clinics are also willing to take your money and see if they can get you pregnant (and don't get me wrong... I don't think SGF took me as a charity case... they have $20K of mine).  They even let me into the shared risk program which they would certainly deny many people for (I think being infertile due to cancer and no tubes gave them confidence they could get me pregnant even though I failed in many other aspects - i.e. my infertility was not unexplained).

I am glad you have the option to move your embryos and go to another clinic where you will get the treatment you want and hopefully a baby from those frozen embryos.  And your insurance company has the option of not covering IVF if they can prove that they are not an accredited institution.  I didn't have insurance so that was a non factor for me which is why I went to SGF (shared risk program) and was only every treated with dignity and respect.

And when you do finally get the baby you so desire and deserve I hope you are able to leave this bitter and angry part of your life behind you and only focus nothing but positive attention on to your family.
