Hi MrsCompass - I'm in Toronto. I have done 4 failed IUI at a clinic in Mississauga (it was convenient at the time because it was close to work) however, now that we are moving to IVF we have been referred to a clinic downtown.

I have a journal if you want more information about me, our situation etc. drop me a line there or via PM!

Hi
I'm also in Mississauga... did a couple of timed bd cycles that failed, had 2 iuis with 1 chemical pregnancy and currently going through ivf at my mississauga clinic....

Springy - what Mississauga clinic were you at and why did you decide to change for your ivf?

Hi Dis3tnd - send me a private message and I can fill you in, or check out my journal there is some of the information in there

Caught up on your journal - sounds like your move was meant to be and hoping for all the best for you!! So sorry you had such a frustrating experience at your clinic. I only see a nurse during monitoring and it gets frustrating - they also did the IUIs - your story reminds me that I need to ask to make sure my dr will at least be doing the retrieval and transfer!

I was with ISIS in Mississauga, whereabouts are you? I'm moving to Hannam downtown and from what I understand you see only the same nurse everyday and then when it comes to retrieval and transfer it is your physician. That is not the way it was done at ISIS. It was "the doctor of the day" who did the IUI and sometimes the IVF depending if your doctor was free or not!

I'm at Newlife in Mississauga - we have our share of likes and dislikes with the clinic, but we're hopeful, and they seem to have good stats! The best part of it is how close it is to work - which is very handy especially with IVF and needing to go in so often.

Timing has worked out very well for us this month, so hoping that is a good sign! I had to use provera to get to Day 1 - and AF didn't show up until 10 days after my last pill - but luckily that means retrieval and transfer will hopefully be during the time I am off from work for the holidays!

NewLife does have good statistics! I looked at moving to them at one point as well. My work is VERY accommodating and are allowing me to work from home when I am undergoing treatments once we are downtown. Saves me driving into the city then back out to Mississauga. I can just drive back home (Etobicoke) and work from there on those days. ISIS was right around the corner from me at work so it was convenient for monitoring during my IUI cycles.

Ladies ... I was just on Hannam's website. Under "fee's", I found this:

Fees
Prices vary from patient to patient and within treatment protocols. For example, IVF can be as little as $5,900 or as much as $15,000 depending on the level of intervention necessary.

Really? As little as $5900.00 for an IVF?
