Hi all! We're thinking about doing another round of IVF and might stick closer to home this time. Originally when we did our last IVF we were going to wait to see Dr. Virro at Markham, but I've heard great things about Create and Hannam. Also, a friend went to Durham Fertility Center and thought it was alright, but she didn't do IVF.

I really want a good doctor. I've heard stories where women don't get pregnant after a few IVF cycles then switch and get pregnant. I've heard this a lot in regards to Dr. Virro. But cost might be a factor. So might location as Toronto is a 2 hour drive each way and that could be very stressful for me which I'm trying to avoid. I haven't heard anything about this Oshawa clinic on the forums so I was hoping somebody might have feedback. Or any info on a local clinic.

TIA!

Went to fertility specialist in 2002
LAP in 2003 found ENDO and cleaned it up
2003 did 6 cycles of Letrozole and Clomid. Couldn't use every cycle due to cysts so it took well over a year.
2003-2004 hated the way I felt on the drugs so after my treatment I opted out for the recommended IVF
Another LAP to clean up ENDO in fall of 2005
Winter 2005 decided to adopt
2007 finished our PRIDE training and started Fostering With A View
2007-2008 fostered two beautiful toddlers that went back to their BM
2009-2011 fostered a 1 month old infant and 2 year old toddler for 706 days. Went to another adoptive family and because we were 3 weeks short of our two years our lawyer can't get us to even see a judge. We have no rights.
