Robin Webb R.N. replied to Nicole's discussion Egg White mcus + IVF"Hi Nicole, EWM is a sign that your estradiol level is rising in response to the medication which is just what we want it to do during an IVF cycle. During a natural cycle most women notice it before and during ovulation so there's no need…"

Robin Webb R.N. replied to Nicole's discussion Vitamins/Supplements"We suggests a prenatal vitamin and well balanced diet, but we do not endorse any fish oil supplements since they are not regulated and the labels can promise anything. Fish can be part of a healthy diet but with the following guidelines:

A friend of mine is going to a fertility clinic in Las Vegas.

After my first failed NCIVF (at egg retrievall there was no egg) I have realized the need for some outside support. It is amazing to me how many couples are going through fertility problems. When you walk into the waiting room during monitoring hours and its standing room only it is shocking. I'd love to see Dominion offer a support group. One night a week after hours? What are the chances for something like this to get started? Thank youSee More

John David Gordon MD's blog post was featuredDominion Fertility SART Inspection: Great Job!
Last week we had a SART/CDC site inspection. All IVF clinics in the country report to the CDC as part of the Wyden Law passed back in the 1990s. Although a few clinics choose not to report we have always been members of SART and reported to the CDC. During the inspection over 50 charts are chosen at random and carefully inspected to make sure that we are honest and accurate in reporting our results. We passed with flying colors!
