I made an appointment with your clinic in NYC for next month. I had 2 fresh cycles, ended up with negative betas and 1 frozen ended in mc. Miscarriage was tested and was due to chromozomal abnormalities. Each time I produced over 25 eggs with 4 & respectively 5 great blastos. The number of eggs and embryos seems unproportional 2 me but doctor says its OK. I am 25 and have rather high fsh(the highest was 9.5 but I tested 6 also) and my husband has poor semen(number, morphology, motility)I will be going for a FET and my husbband will have varicocele surgery and then give your clinic a shot. U think the operation will make a difference??
PS: I went to North Shore Manhasset and I do but I will try your clinic if FET doesnt work!!
Thank you for all these wonderful babies u help conceive!!!

I sometimes feel like I came into the world of reproductive endocrinology as a patient just a little bit too early. I have failed five IVFs and they were all out of pocket. I know CGH on blasts is not the miracle cure necessarily, but I would certainly love the chance to try it. I think it took five IVFs to finally figure out the best way to stimulate me (I tend towards hyperstimulation but with lower maturity rates and I think too much LH on my last three cycles was not good at all) and I think the uterus was not receptive on the first four (I have a history of mild hyperplasia and did two uterine biopsies prior to an FET on the fifth one which resulted in a chemical pregnancy only). Granted, we still never made a lot of embryos but if I hadn't spent my last dime on the first five IVFs I'd love to try again for the chance at using this technology. I've watched many many women succeed, some of whom had similar earlier crummy cycles like mine. If only IVF and the chance at parenthood weren't so expensive. I just turned 35 and have spent the past four years trying to make a family. It is exhausting to say the least.

Thanks for writing a great post!
