IVF Labs
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2014 5:31 pm
I have been told by two medical professionals to leave the current fertility center I am at and go to one that has a better rating on SART (which I just found out existed a couple of days ago). I have been with my fertility center for the last two and a half years. We have done 9 iui's (one positive pregnancy that ended at 7 weeks) and two failed IVF cycles. The last cycle they retrieved 23 eggs, 19 of which were viable and 16 of which fertilized. On day 3 all 16 embryos were healthy and growing on day 5 we had only one embryo left. They sent my husband to a urologist as they thought he had a high level on DNA sperm fragmentation which they believed caused the drop from 16 to 1. His fragmentation came back twice at 5%. He does have 0% normal morphology but we have done ICSI for both IVF cycles so we we're told that eliminates the morphology issue. We are being told by medical practitioners that it is the the quality of the lab we are going to. Our center has a 23% live birth rate per transfer for my age (35-37) I am 36. We have one more IVF cycle covered by insurance and we want to make sure we are getting the best care for it. Any advice on how to go about finding a great IVF lab would be greatly appreciated.
