My cousin and sister-in-law both went to Cooper in PA. The one is premenopausal and the other couldn't get pregnant by 3 attempts at another clinic. They were both successful at Cooper and hopefully you will be too. They do have good stats and they adjust the protocols according to the patients specific needs. Good Luck : )

Do not give up...Get into a clinic that will take high FSH...I was told at one clinic there was nothing they could do for me as my FSH was too high..If I recall like 18..I did not accept that and moved on...
Well I went to another clinic and they opened there arms to me...I now have 11 month old baby boy from FET. My fresh cycle failed and he is a result of a FET and we still have 3 more in the freezer...So I produced 13 follies 12 fertilized and we still have 3 all from one cycle...It can happen!!!!

Good Luck

Kabillion,
How many attempts did it take them at Cooper? Did they use different protocols? I am really interested to hear more about their experience with Cooper. Were they both successful with IVF or something else?

As I said before, my fsh was 13. My clinic did not put me on Lupron. Instead they put me on what they called an aggressive dose of Menopur and Gonal f. At retrieval I had 19 eggs, 15 of which fertilized. 2 eggs made it to day 5 where they implanted 2 healthy blasts that resulted in twins. My clinic said the odds were against me due to my age (37 at the time) and my fsh, ,but it all worked out.

Skidoo,

You produced 13 in one cycle!!! Was your FSH high that month? Did you change anything with your diet, do acupuncture or anything else that would attribute your great response and fertilization rate? What was the protocol you used in that cycle and was that your 1st cycle? Sorry for all the questions but that is great!

Kabillion, Do you have any details about your cousin and sister-in-law's protocol, etc.?

My cousin had her tubes removed and she was successful on the first try at Cooper. I am not sure of her protocol, but her first cycle was delayed a month because of a high estrogen level. They did a frozen transfer the next month. She just gave birth to a healthy baby boy on June 18th 2008. My sister-in-law got pregnant with twins first attempt at Cooper but unfortunately she lost them at 20 weeks due to twin transfusion syndrome.
