I started my meds in Chicago, and then traveled to Denver for 10 days for the rest of the monitoring, and IVF removal/transfer. They are the best in the nation ...

I went to CCRM (Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine) in Denver, which has the highest success rates in the nation (and world). I live in Chicago, and went to a clinic here for almost 1 year, with no luck. We got pregnant with our first IVF at CCRM. I couldn't say enough about the clinic there ...

Best Advice for IVF'ers

I just wanted to share my story -- hoping that it could help just one person. First of all, after 2 years of trying I'm finally pregnant! 27 weeks, with a baby boy!

35-40% chance

My RE MD just told me, after some extensive testing, that I have a 35-40% chance of conceiving. I can't help but be discouraged... so, I'm turning to you for some encouragement. I keep telling myself that they are good odds -- but it seems so bleak.

AMH levels -- Has anyone had this tested?

I recently went through some new testing... and the IVF center measured my AMH levels. I did some research, and it seems that this marker is a better predictor than FSH many times. It correlates with resting follicle count, and doesn't vary during the cycle. However, it is an expensive blood test ...

Anyone have experience with CCRM in Colorado

CCRM was ranked number 1 in the US for IVF... wondering if anyone had experience with them. Would love to know your stories. 40% of their patients are from out of town... many travel from all over to go there.

Just one embryo transfered, anyone one had success?

I'm 40, and just finished my first round of IVF, and only 1 egg was transfered. Does anyone have positive success stories to share? I had 7 eggs retrieved, but only 3 were mature, and 1 fertilized. At day 3 it was 7 cells.... i want to hear encouragement. :)
