How did y’all decide which doc/fertility clinic to go with? It’s so overwhelming. I had a consult with one my friends sister used and started the process but frustrated with them a bit (feel rushed). I’m in LA/Thousand Oaks. Recs appreciated too.

Thank you!

Google the doctors names see what the reviews online say

I did interviews/info sessions with USC and CMD fertility. I really liked the USC doctor (dr. ho) but I didn’t appreciate how important proximity to the office was until we started. I then switched to Dr. D at CMD and I’ve really enjoyed her style. Accessible, to the point, competent team around her, so far happy with her guidance.

CMD is on Wilshire/405 so might be convenient for you.

Just saw an ad for Kesimpta for MS and gotta say, one the most predicting fair balance lines I’ve ever heard. “While no cases of PML were reported in RMS clinical trials, it could happen.” Wow. Massive government overreach. Clinical trials are now irrelevant when it comes to any class effect. And yes I’ve been doing this DTC thing since it all started.

Graduated from our fertility clinic, with 10 week US scheduled for

I‘ve completed my 3rd round of ivf which resulted in 4 eggs being retrieved and only 1 blastocyst that was transferred/failed. Each round of IVF I’ve only produced 3-4 eggs even with increasing the medications. I’m only 35 but have a low amh .425 and my dr is suggesting to go back to IUIs since I was getting the same number of eggs when we went through that process. (Tried twice and both times didn’t work). Anyone have any success going back to IUI after IVF? Should I stay with IVF?
