r/IVFinfertility

Looking for fertility clinic/doctor recommendations in the Frisco, McKinney, Plano or Allen area.

My wife is 34 and we’re preparing for our first IVF cycle after one unsuccessful IUI cycle.

We’re currently with Dallas IVF . So far the experience with our current dr has been good, but we were surprised to learn that the IVF lab/embryology services are out-of-network with our insurance plan, resulting in self-pay .Since we have fertility benefits available through our insurance, we want to explore other options to see if there are clinics where more of the IVF process may be covered.

Any doctor recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Ladies,

I'm hoping to get insight and feedback on anyone who is done a Mock Transfer for Receptiva, ERA and Emma/Alice testing. After 3 failed transfers and 2 pregnancy loses my Doctor
Has suggested doing Receptiva, ERA and Emma/Alice Testing. Really frustrated it wasn't done before but can't go backwards, so we are in cycle to have it done. With my 5 day transfers they've had me do a trigger shot and then a week later the transfer. And that's what I was told up until today when I had a different nurse and the PA not Doc advising. Today they did an Ultrasound scan and my follicle was at almost 19mm and they said I would trigger tonight (Sat) to come in Friday for the mock transfer/biopsy. This threw me off since it was a day earlier than what I had previously been told( come in a week after trigger) and what I did in my last transfer. I realized this only after I got home and the clinic was closed. So I texted the Doc and she responded with this: "Just trust the process. You are starting Progesterone. We have to do it that way for ERA otherwise we cannot replicate it" My response was "I do trust the process. I'm just saying the day of biopsy/transfer that I'm being told by the PA is not representative of how we've done my 5 day transfer and progesterone so we aren't replicating it if it's a day early. That's my whole concern" Am I going crazy here? What was everyone else's protocol when it came to this testing? The Doc plays fast and loose a lot of the time. I've been seeing her for over 4 years and they have made mistakes along the way. This isn't a nail or hair appointment and they make trusting the process hard when they give you contradictory instructions. Any advice or insight would be very much appreciated!

Husband and I have been TTC for about 5 years. 11 IUIs, 6 retrievals, 2 failed euploid transfers - it’s been a long journey.

Mid April I had surgery for endometriosis removal and removal of a large endometrioma on my right ovary. Cycle day 1 after that was May 11. This morning I had some very faint light pink/bright red spotting and then it stopped and hasn’t continued to develop into a period. That’s pretty irregular for me. Pregnancy test this morning was negative but I’m still about 12dpo. Could the spotting be a sign of early pregnancy?

Im in disbelief because of how much we’ve been through for this to have potentially occurred unassisted.

Hello! To preface, I know this question has likely been asked around before (and I have searched) but my circumstances are relatively more discrete so I am seeking advice for my specific circumstance.

I am looking for a RE recommendation in the NY area (NYC if possible). For backround, I have/had endometriosis and adeno for over ten years. I have had multiple surgeries over the years (all with well known specialists) and it was very severe (Stage 4/DIE/ frozen pelvis/multiple organ involvement). It has been three years since my last surgery with no success although also no pain for the first time, despite my very qualified surgeon expecting I would have no issue conceiving and my hormone levels being sufficient.
I have met with several RE's to discuss the IVF process but have not been impressed yet, especially with their knowledge of endo. I think there's some confusion with the garden variety RE's where once you get a lap you should be good to go, which obviously is not the case especially for those of us with severe endo who have had it for longer. A lot of the recs online I see are from people who are just diagnosed which is great, but I have extensive complications from the disease which no one has yet to fully appreciate.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a doctor who is actually proficient and experienced in this area? Any success stories would be appreciated too. Thank you<3

Hello! I am doing my first transfer ever tomorrow morning at 11:30 am. I have an acupuncture appointment at 10 am. I am just wondering how I can achieve a full bladder while also sitting for acupuncture. Any advice ?

Received my PGT-A results today. 16 retrieved, 12 mature, 11 fertilized, 5 blasts, only 1 euploid - Day 6 4AB. We only want one more child but I feel nervous about only having 1 embryo to transfer. Anyone else been in a similar situation with (1) day 6 4AB? I have a call with my dr tomorrow on next steps.

We did a Transfer at a clinic in CO (for now I’ll keep that private), we’ve done one transfer before at another clinic and they wheeled the embryos (we are dong day 3 frozen both times, for reasons I won’t go into here, but adding that in case it is of instance in anyway, which I doubt).

Anyhow, previously the embryos as I remember, were wheeled into our room where we were waiting and they were in an incubator type machine. From there i remember them loading into catheter and then that was handed to doctor who implanted.

Today, I was ready with my camera thinking this is how it will be done, instead the door busts open and the embryologist literally hands the doctor the embryo transfer catheter and then she insets embryos.

I was just so taken back… is this normal practice… I’m in shock they were walked into room. I did t get to see outside door as to how far they came. Or if machine was outside door or what…

Any info much appreciated.

If all is going well, I’ll be 6w0d pregnant tomorrow. I had two strong betas (1,003 on 12dp5dt and 2198 on 14dp5dt). Since then, no symptoms other than fatigue. My first OS is a week from now.

This morning I woke up to some chills and body aches that have been getting a bit worse through the day. No fever yet. My fertility clinic said these are not normal pregnancy symptoms. I have an appt with my PCP tomorrow morning, but I’m stressing that this is a sign of MC or that the illness itself could cause one.

Advice?!
