I also go to RSC in Lexington...it’s my first cycle, my Dr is out of Umass and I only go to RSC for the ET and the ER. I compared their ratings today with Boston IVF's and RSC has a better success rate. Is this your first cycle? I would see which one your Dr recommends. My Dr used RSC so I really had no choice. Good luck with whatever one you decide to go with!

I went to Boston IVF in Waltham and just had my baby 3 weeks ago. It depends on what you are looking for and what's important to you. I researched BIVF, Mass General and Brigham and Women's before deciding on BIVF.

We just started going to Boston IVF in Waltham. Just got through all of my testing and had my HSG. I am thrilled with the staff-I get my phone calls returned promptly and everyone genuinely seems to care about what I'm going through.

Thanks for all your replies girls... I did research and thougth BIVF had the best numbers, but I am older so I think they had the best numbers for my age!
It will be my 3rd try - so I am always open to hearing others success stories so I can make better decissions in the future.

Golda and wntacambaby:
Congratulations on your successes ..

jp1981:
Good Luck,


momtocats4now:
Good luck with your progress- I do find them to be very efficient ... I just need to be reassured I have the best IVF clinic as with my age, my chances are slim.

Hey:

BIVF is the best here in MA but everything really depends on the doctor that you have and the protocol he is going to use.
I did 3 failed cycles with BIVF and my doc is still not ready to try anything new. Everytime I tell him abt a new research and ask him if we can try, he says "there are no studies that say its working" etc etc - so am going to CCRM , Colorado for my 4th try.
CCRM protocol is so diff from BIVF. They actally listened to the research that I did and are using so many doff things that it atleast makes me feel they are trying hard to get me pregnant.

All the best to you - hope it works for you in BIVF.

I go to MGH - have had 3 failed IUI cycles, going to try IVF in March. I like it but don't love it, I am beginning to wonder if MGH isn't the right choice. Anyone have any experience w/ MGH?

Hi wannabemamma,

I changed my Dr's but am still going to Boston IVF .. I am comfortable there but decided as hard as it was to leave my dr ... after 3 failed IVF's (and maybe nothing to do with dr) I had a responsibility to dh and myself to check out another dr ... I am glad I did as he is more aggressive and I am now on IVF nbr 4 !
pm me if you want any details ...
