New Hope Fertility Center Clinical Trial

I know of one other person besides myself doing this trial, so I wanted to see if there were any other girls out here who were involved in this trial. Hopefully we can all stay in contact!

New Hope Participant!

Hi, I think I may be a participant, I recieved an email with a medical form to fill out, after sending the form back within minutes I got an email saying they will contact me soon about my first visit to the center. How did you find out you were a participant for sure?

Hi Dittoxtina. I got another email after that one saying that they are overwhelmed with the response and that they are working as fast as they can to screen everyone. So I'm not technically a participant yet. I didn't get the other email for about 5 days after I did the screening online, so I would give it some time to hear from them.

Jen-The trial is in New York City.

Mia-It has been so long since I've heard from you! I was just wondering how your bean is doing. I've not been actually accepted yet. Just based on my online screening they say it appears I will be a good candidate. So now its a waiting game until my first appointment. I know that it is going to be a fairly long trip there for me for the appointments, but I still think I'll be saving tons of money in the long run!

Thanks Stephanie. I passed the information on to my aunt and uncle who have been trying since they got married 9 years ago. I know that cost was the big factor in why they haven't pursued treatments, they are "unexplained." But as you mentioned, while you may be spending money on the travel you'll still be saving a ton by doing this as a trial candidate.

Best wishes to all of you who plan to participate.

I'm so excited! BUT at the same time I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Stephanie and Amy...What state do you two live in? I'm in Florida, so I will have to do alot of traveling with this clinical trail, but I think it's so worth it! It's just a waiting game as of now for all us I"ll keep you guys posted if I hear anything new. Good luck to all!
