i just moved to the NORcal area and so far have heard of nova clinic and bay IVF.
wondering if anyone has heard anything about those 2 or know of a good one.
HRC would be too far of a hike......
thanks!

I am currently cycling at Nova IVF. I adore the RE there (there is only one RE in the practice). I am doing IVF/PGD and am due to have my ER soemtime next week. I totally recommend Nova. So far, it's been an easy and smooth process.

is it with dr schmidt in mountain view? do you mind me asking when you plan to "conceive." im interested in their pregnancy and live healthy birth rate.
also if they get a lot of gender selection requests.
would LOVE to get updates from you regarding your treatments. i wont be ready for another yr and a half!
thanks!

Yes, Dr. Schmidt. He is amazing. So warm and approachable. It's been so fantastic working with him. He's super supportive of family balancing and his whole staff is friendly and accessible. I am cycling there now, on day 6 of stims, possible egg retrieval next week and embryo transfer by next weekend. It's all kind of scary and overwhelming, but Nova has helped to make this as seamless as possible. I'll try to keep you updated. Feel free to ask any ?s you may have.

The private section is the Member section. You become a member and you automatically get access. We have around 10 people cycling right now and we have cycle "stickies" to follow everyone during. It's opposite on here with the forums than what you're used to. 99% of HT is in the private forum. The Dream Member button will get you there. I hope you are responding well! Hope your boys are doing great.

thats who i was going to go with too..but i still have a couple yrs. i was wondering if you know if they get a lot of clients for gender selection only? and out of those clients, their rate of successful live births.?

its till going to be a hike for me to get there as i live in east bay, but also wondering time frame, how often would i have to go there and for how many weeks (until i wait for +HPT).

and what is your update now?? ER yet? ET?

also, have you had any problems getting pregnant previously? wondering also the success rate of pg in woman who have had no fertility issues...just things im thinking about to help me decide if indeed i should push for this or not!
