It sounds like a medical person talking about the triplets , you have an option to reduce.

I've tried both and yes Dr Abbasi is amazing.
She explores what the problem is .

No experience with GW, but have a 3 year old- and working on a sibling- with Dr. A at CFA. Pleased, esp in comparison with SG.

Because triplets are not optimal for mother's health and likelihood of healthy/live babies. Singleton is more likely to go to term. BUT it seems as if the triplets PP hit the jackpot w/ 3 healthy babies! (Also- A LOT of people would not want 3 infants!!!

Wouldn't most doctors consider this an IVF failure?


Maybe I don't know enough about this stuff but why would this be considered a failure? She got pregnant. Serious question.

I go to GW now. They are down to one doctor (Dr. Frankfurter), but I've always been able to get appointments and I really like that I can email him questions and he gets back to me within the same day. I just found out I am pregnant too! After my 2nd IVF cycle there.

I went CFA to GW...and back to CFA (Abbasi.) Had no success with either clinic...but greatly preferred CFA.

Gindoff left. They're getting another doc this summer and they're have been no scheduling issues. Dr F is a pro and does everything and it's seamless. It took me a month to even figure out Gindoff had left.

I knew that Dr. Dayal left last year. Which other doctor left? I hope not Frankfurter - he is great.

I've never gone there, but GW has had a lot of turnover lately. Hopefully some of their patients can chime in.

We're looking at our options for IVF, and we've narrowed it down to GW and Columbia. Columbia has better success rates, but I know that those don't always tell the full story. Has anyone had any experience with both of these providers?
