    Has anyone done pgd with Dr Potter and had SUCCESS!!!!!

    Just wondering if anyone has done pgd with Dr Potter and have had success. My husband and I are looking at going to the states at the end of this year and I have noticed that Dr Potter seems to pop up on this sight and on In-gender.com site. I have had a terrible experience with another clinic in Los Angeles with pgd and the more reading I do the more I find out that I am not the only one that has dealt with this clinic and has been left with empty pockets and a horrible sick feeling in your stomach. At this stage I am pretty much terrified that I will loose again.
    How is Dr Potter and his clinic,does anyone have any stories or know of anyone who has been to him and been happy with him and have had a successful result in pgd. I will be 33 in January 2012.

    I'm sure she will chime in if she sees this but Lillian on here has a DD through Potter. There is a recent BFP with him in the private section so I will let her tell if she chooses due to privacy, there are several from IG that I know. Dr Potter is obviously very open to GS and that makes him very approachable and that is definitely part of the appeal.

    There are a few cyclers coming up in the next 2 months that are cycling with Dr Potter that post on here too, but the list is in the HT Private Forum.

    I am sorry you had a bad experience. I would schedule a consult and see what you think. You can schedule a couple using information you find on here and using tools like SART.org. Carole, the other IVF expert on here that answers our questions has a great blog at www.fertilitylabinsider.com about choosing a clinic.

    It is a huge ordeal, especially when you factor in the travel that some of you have to do. If I can be of assistance, please let me know.

    Thanks for that, I am actually waiting for my dream membership to come through which I paid through paypal once that comes through It maybe easier for me to speak to other members. I have also looked at another Dr in the states Dr Peymen Saddat he also does PGD and at a very reasonable price. This really does your head inn I must say.

    It is automated so there is no waiting...did you use a debit or credit card? If so, are you sure it went through? The membership requires no intervention on my part so please let me know.

    I have just had a BFN after cycling with Dr Potter. Although I am totally devastated, I cannot praise him and Lori highly enough, and if i had more money I would cycle with him again. It is a HUGE ordeal though, mentally, financially and physically. I am quite broken by it at the moment:-'(

    I'm so sorry to hear of your BFN. I know how badly it hurts. I hope you will stick around and hang out with us though.

    Yup, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's definitely a busy man, so there were some minor annoyances (waiting), but I think he handled by cycle beautifully when it could easily have been mismanaged (very quick response to stims). He's understanding, called me several times during my cycle, and had a nice heart to heart with me when I was considering a 3 day transfer with just MS. Loved him and Lori
