Hellobee Boards

Me! I was/am with Dr McKeeby in the Annapolis office (I think I'm local to you.) I went through a lot with Shady Grove - three IUIs to start, then we moved on to IVF. I signed up for the Shared Risk IVF guarantee program, and am so thankful I did, because I lost all three pregnancies, out of six fresh IVF cycles and one FET. I moved on to using donor eggs, and got pregnant with my first donor egg IVF cycle. I had that baby early this year,, then returned to Shady Grove to try again. I am now pregnant again, from my first FET in that second round of trying.

I would recommend, even though we went through a lot before we were successful. They always got what I thought were good results for me during my cycles, I think my own eggs were just a bit dodgy. Once I moved on to donor eggs, it was pretty smooth sailing.

Yes! I highly recommend Shady grove. I used their downtown dc office and had my daughter through them from a fresh cycle. I'm now just newly pregnant with #2 from an fet. Love love love them especially after a terrible experience with another local clinic--dominion fertility. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck! I also second the shared risk program. Insurance covered all my ivf but I think it's a fantastic option and have friends that used it.

@Mrs. Pajamas: ah I was going to call Dominion for a consult!

I've heard mixed reviews about Shady Grove. My very close friend is using them now, and so far she's happy. My boss used them, and she felt like she was pushed towards ivf, and a few other friends have told me that no matter what they're issue-ivf. So, I was hsesitant to use them, and went with Dr. Durso in NOVA. Loved her. I'm considering switching to Kaiser federal health insurance next year, and would have to use Shady Grove so ask me in a year lol.

I went to the one in Reading PA when I was visiting family and needed a test done before my transfer. No complaints here.
