I liked our factory fine (same as lesboparents'), but while I do adore my main doc there, I didn't love everyone. But, really, oh well. They got the job done, and then I didn't go back there anymore. In that sense, it's different from choosing a primary care doc: you are hoping for a *short* relationship with an RE. <br /><br />My doc has a lot of information on his blog about how to best interpret the SART stats. Maybe this will help you decide whether the difference (which sounds significant to me) is a big deal or not: http://infertilityblog.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html<br /><br />(may i have a small squee! that we are having this discussion?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390155723862867731.post-14036707843890177322012-09-25T17:20:02.683-04:002012-09-25T17:20:02.683-04:00mysmallobsessions said...We used Pom's doc and...mysmallobsessions said...We used Pom's doc and also adore her! It was totally a cattle call, and I can't vouch for every ultrasound tech there, but I can say that our doc and her nurses were awesome, and that the few times I had actual compaints (inevitable for a process that involves almost daily interaction with needles and dildocams at 7am) they were taken care of quickly and sympathetically. I'd say give the factory with the good stats a try--if you hate it, the other options in your city will still be there waiting. <br /><br />Also, lots of love to and for your grandma. What a lovely picture to symbolize a wonderful life. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390155723862867731.post-20146498318057163722012-09-25T15:09:02.316-04:002012-09-25T15:09:02.316-04:00I went with the best stats, but also because a fri...I went with the best stats, but also because a friend recommended a particular RE there. I don't love the place, but they got me pregnant so I can't complain (and I'll go back). That being said, you don't want a place that makes you cry or feel bad about yourself. That just won't do. Oh and yes, I think there are ways to mess with numbers for these things, so definitely take some of it with a grain of salt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390155723862867731.post-68673468423009306482012-09-24T13:05:36.766-04:002012-09-24T13:05:36.766-04:00I agree with Pom, it has to be a good fit.

It was a fine fit for me (efficient and convenient) but a horrible fit for W (unfriendly, and a brusk) so we are switching to one with lower rates but W TRUSTS them and is EXCITED to work with them. I think your success has a lot to do with how you are feeling about the overall treatment. ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12816128201696611587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390155723862867731.post-81868962641177114352012-09-24T12:43:34.629-04:002012-09-24T12:43:34.629-04:00Our Fertility Factory has some horrible reviews, b...Our Fertility Factory has some horrible reviews, but I loved my doc and loved my experience there. The first place I went was not so much a factory but my RE with hundreds of patients remembered me and my case far better than the RE/prof with only a handful of patients.<br /><br />Ultimately, read reviews and shop around, but trust your gut for the final decision. I trusted my doc 100%.Pomegranatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269172833468901068noreply@blogger.com
