Pretty much every RE clinic in the area was near my house. Came in handy when I needed daily blood work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2043523 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 11:42:40 +0000 dc yoga bee 2043523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30min from home, 1hr from work. I only had one apt (the HSG) that I went to from work, which required leaving after lunch to make it by 2pm. All other apts I was coming from home doing the reverse commute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2043068 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 02:25:41 +0000 jaguar 2043068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our clinic is about 30 minutes from home, more if traffic. I usually go at 6.30 in the morning for bloods to avoid it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042358 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:57:42 +0000 BSB 2042358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: Haha. Yup. Yeah, my first clinic was PNWF and we had to have DH's sperm sampled transferred to our new clinic (ORH in Bellevue). DH had to pick up the shipping container from ORH then drive to PNWF then drive back to ORH to store. We live in Renton so it was a lot of driving for the DH. It was that or we could spend $400 for a courier to do it. Haha. I made DH do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042295 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:03:57 +0000 meganmp 2042295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.@bluestriped bee: You'll understand the distances because you're from here, but I live in West Seattle, work in White Center and I went to PNWF. 20 minutes from school, 10 minutes from home as long as there's not traffic on the bridge. As a side note, I know people who went to India for their treatments- their surrogate was there, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than here! Plus, surrogacy in Washington is incredibly difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042193 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 14:12:24 +0000 KT326 2042193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first clinic was about 15 minutes from home, but we only did oral meds and TI with them. I commute to work so when I switched, I chose the one near my work, about 15-20 minutes away with traffic. If I was going to the clinic straight from my house it would take about 45 minutes and then take me about 15 minutes to get to work after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042163 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:57:43 +0000 marionberry 2042163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! To my knowledge we have three in the entire state. Luckily it worked the first time because it was an hour commute to and from, with traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042099 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:20:44 +0000 mrswin 2042099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The clinic is just at the end of the block where my office is...so less than a 10 minute walk and it is about a 45 minute subway ride from my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042058 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:02:46 +0000 BSB 2042058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: Oh, really? Haven't heard about Columbia for IF treatments. I think there was a user here who lived in Europe someone where and she considered going to a neighboring country to get cheaper treatments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042045 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:52:19 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2042045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I have friends who fly to Colombia for IF treatments because it is sooooo much cheaper there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2042018 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:36:39 +0000 BSB 2042018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: @FliegepilzHut: Wow, you guys had to travel far for the procedure.</p> <p>This week at my RE, there was someone speaking french and I think they had a translator.

First I had to pick up the tank at my clinic on the north side of the city. Then I had to<br /> drive the tank downtown to the hospital where the surgery was done. DH (with his wheelchair) and I had to park and go into the hospital to sign paperwork and get the samples. Then we drove back to the clinic to drop off the samples. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041955 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:05:10 +0000 Caly 2041955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The local office I went to for monitoring &amp; blood work is in the same office park that I work in...so, just a couple mins. The main office for everything else is approx 30-45 mins depending on traffic. Very lucky, some people don't have it so easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041943 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:02:05 +0000 raintreebee 2041943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so lucky. My RE is 45 minutes away, but they opened up an office for monitoring appointments just 10 minutes from where I live. The local office is open 4 days a week, so most of the time I went there. The other 3 days, and for procedures, I went to the office that is farther away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041942 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:01:58 +0000 twodoghouse 2041942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes. It's the only fertility clinic nearby (our major hospital system is catholic so it's not a popular place for fertility docs I guess?). So glad that there was one in town though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041940 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:01:45 +0000 travellingbee 2041940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE is about 15 minutes from home and 5 min. from work. It is handy, and I love my doctor, but they are more expensive than many others in the area. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041934 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:59:09 +0000 spaniellove 2041934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also lucky to live in a random suburb that happens to have all 4 fertility clinics in the region. So our first clinic was about 10 minutes away and the second was about 5. I've met women who traveled from other countries to cycle at that clinic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041926 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:56:15 +0000 PurplePumps 2041926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The local office where I go for appointments and monitoring is 30-60 minutes depending on traffic, but then just 15 minutes from work.

I chose the one that was closest to work. It was about 15 minutes away. I don't think I could've managed otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-commute-to-your-refertility-clinic#post-2041921 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:52:27 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2041921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 hours?!? I had most of my monitoring locally, though. No complaints here whatsoever. :wink: </p>
