I am not the OP, but I have looked into both CCRM and SGF (not Fairfax, but one closer to me). I've looked at SART and CDC data for many of the local clinics. I specifically asked CCRM for more recent data and they would not release anything to me other than to say that their stats are comparable to their Colorado clinic. Frankly, it's made me a little hesitant to use them. It's 2021 and they've been in NOVA since 2017. You would think that they would be able to release some stats.

None of my embryos at CCRM made it to blast - may have been bad luck but I had 20+ eggs retrieved each time so I can’t help feeling it was a lab issue.

Conversely, this was 6 yrs ago, before CCRM... I did 2 rounds of IVF at SG when I was 29 with endometriosis and got no blasts either time out of 10 eggs each time. I ended up successfully getting pregnant naturally a few months after that, and again a few years later so I feel like something was off somewhere with either SG's protocols or the lab.

OP, I think it's all a crapshoot to be honest. Good luck to you.

I am a current patient at CCRM and I cannot say enough good things about them.
