Looking into IVF clinics
I was wondering if anyone has any info on Olympia Womens Health in Washington? Or any recommendations on IVF clinics who is good, who would you not go to? I think I am going to have to go onto IVF the begining of next year and was going to go to Irving, Texas but I want to make sure I don't miss someone that may be good in my quest to get that elusive
 ~!! Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm in the Seattle area, and know nothing about Oly Women's Health, but if you're from Washington, I think this link might help you. It's the Washington board at IVF Connections: IVFConnections Boards

If you are willing to travel, CCRM (Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine) is supposedly the best clinic in the country. Check out their success rates, in the low 60%. I was traveling up there from Texas to see Dr. Schoolcraft there for my 3rd IVF when I miraculously got pg on my own after surgery. They are extremely thorough and extremely successful.

I will have to check these out, I am in Montana and there are absolutely no IVF facilities here or close by for that matter!! Really, they should look into that!! At the very least an RE to work with would be nice, not that I don't like my Doc but would like to have a specialist!!

Who I see in WA
I looked at Olympia women's health and noticed that their statistics aren't posted on their web site, seems a bit odd.
I'm in Seattle and am happy with Seattle Reproductive Medicine. SRM offers Shared Risk through Integramed. And I love that they are nice, professional and always call me back within a couple of hours. If you need to stay in the south sound area (if you are staying w/ family or friends) SRM does have a Tacoma office. I see Dr. Criniti Infertility - Expert Infertility Clinic, Seattle fertility, IVF Success rates are higher at Northwest reproductive medicine Fertility Testing and Infertility Treatment Services - Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences, but they are a bit more expensive and didn't offer the shared risk program. DH & I had some initial testing at another clinic in Bellevue- I won't name names, but they were unprofessional and left DH feeling very uncomfortable.

Who were you going to see in Irving? I go to Dr. Le in Irving and he does have some of the highest success rates depending on age (almost 70% for me) and the lowest cost bc he also runs his own embyrology lab.

I second CCRM. I went to a clinic locally for my first failed IVF and got pregnant with CCRM. I had a great experience with everyone there. My doctor was Dr Gustofson.

I'll third CCRM. You can see from my siggy that they brought me great results. I also had Dr. Gustofson. They are worth it if you are already looking into traveling anyway...

I'll second Seattle Reproductive Medicine. I had to travel also from Alaska and was always very happy with the communication between myself, SRM, and my local doctor. They have a very nice lady who's job it is to communicate with people who are not local and I would email her directly to ask questions and got replies back very quickly. Good Luck.
