How to find a clinic nearby?

[fignewt74]

Hi all,
I live in Baltimore MD and am thinking about HT for next year. I know Givf is the best but it is an hour away and i want to know if there are any options for me in Baltimore. So far i have called 7 or 8 fertility clinics and asked "do you offer PGD for gender selection?" And gotten no's from everyone. I am starting to think there is probably a better process for doing this.
Does anyone have suggestions on the best/easiest way to find clinics in your area that are willing to do PGD for family balancing? Do you think some of the clinics that said no to me would actually do it if i made an appointment for a consultation? Or should i just go with givf in dc and forget my Baltimore search altogether?
Thanks in advance for your input and suggestions!

GIVF is very expensive. Is NYC an option?

[fignewt74]

NYc is probably too far (would require hotel, etc.). I didnt realize Givf charges more than most, i thought the general range was around $20k. Is Givf much more than that?

I paid around $15,000 plus Meds. HRC is $11,200 plus Meds. $20,000 is at the high end of the spectrum.

What or where is GIVF? Sorry to be ignorant but I only know of the clinics near by me in the south east

It's in Virginia.

Hey sorry I wanted to ask where HRC is?? My friend lives in NYC is it anywhere near there? And does HRC charge $11,200 plus meds for the full ivf/pgd for gender selection?

HRC is in California. There has been a price increase. Dream Members get free consults with Dr Potter and $1,000 off the current cycle price.

It's $12,200 with the GD discount.

Wow, we'll she isn't a member as of yet, I think it would be better for her so she can gather information.. But of course you would have to think of the costs of traveling to Cali.. Hotel, transport food etc. it all adds up.
Would you know of any well known clinics in New York ? But I think they all go upto $20,000 which is on the high end

There are several clinics in NY. Price is probably $15,000-20,000.
