PP what underlying issues did you have and what clinic did you go to?

I went to a fertility clinic I did not like and subsequently did my research using the CDC data and went to the highest success rated clinic in Virginia. Worked out wonderfully, didn’t even need to do IVF- their success rates are high because they don’t do any treatment until they treat the underlying issues first.

How important were statistics when you were selecting a fertility clinic? Especially if you have specific issues to address like endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent miscarriages or are older than 40? Do you go by SART statistics or by CD statistics?

I keep hearing folks on here recommend CCRM Denver, ORM or Cornell quite a bit, but from the latest statistics (2016-2019) these don't seem to have as high a statistical success rate now, as they used to have in lets say late 2000s to mid 2010s.

Also, the doctors and lab technicians can move to different clinics, and their current situation may not be representative of of their success rates in say 2018. So, how do you use these statistics?

Do you call and ask them for their current statistics? Do you ask each Doctor what their success rate has been with the specific issue/s that you are looking to address?

Also, how do you use these states to gauge lab quality? Overall success rate = good lab. Overall donor egg success rate= good lab? Success with your specific issue = good lab.

I would really appreciate your feedback
