I'm so very sorry. I wish there was something I could say that would help, but yes, second opinions are alway a good idea. Good luck with everything.<br /><br />As for those damn social questions...I dread them myself. I never feel I answer well because somehow, even though I know to expect them, they always catch me off guard.

They do frozen donor eggs so you don't have to sync your cycle up to a donor and they have CRAZY good success rates. <br /><br />I am also looking into CYN Fertility in NY. AWESOME prices and I like the idea of a fresh cycle and keeping all Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618189040042084629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654000690381333248.post-4192658940197571422011-03-27T09:19:39.287-04:002011-03-27T09:19:39.287-04:00Some thoughts:

Rate of growth, cell size, fragmentation, etc.<br /><br />2. I don't know that possible chem pgs point to implantation problems so much as embryo quality problems, but certainly worth asking about.

I have found them all to be helpful - and have learned more about the process from each. I highly recommend second opinions! A doc doing a second opinion is more likely to look at the facts, and try to think about your situation completely dispassionately / from a fresh perspective, than the doc does - who has known bunintheovenplease!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08983526508391055997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654000690381333248.post-90449409876231469322011-03-26T13:59:14.032-04:002011-03-26T13:59:14.032-04:00I look forward to reading more about your research...I look forward to reading more about your research on donor eggs. So much of what you wrote in this post resonates with me.

I decided to get a second opinion because I just wanted to see if another RE has different perspective. The first RE was too aggressive so my follicles were not growing at the same pace. My second RE also checked for implantation by doing an endometrial biopsy and hystercospy (sp?).
