I would just like to write an update. I was at Hollywood, but decided that a change was in order. I checked out Concept which seemed ok and also checked out FSWA which seemed to get a lot of good opinion reports on the forums.
I ended up going to a Prof at FSWA. He and I don't really see eye to eye on things - a bit of a personality conflict - I find him rather arrogant. BUT, he seemed to know what he was talking about on certain things. Could look at various blood test results (not even really related to IF) and say, well this means this and this could contribute to this etc. Loved the personality of my doc at Hollywood, but he didn't seem to have the knowledge behind him.
In the end, it was one Dr that did the EPU, another that kept in contact about the PGS testing and yet another who did the transfer (she was great - didn't feel a thing - whereas in past have had uncomfortable ones) and of course the nurses. So MY doctor didn't really have anything to do with it. I find the nurses generally quite helpful and answer all your questions without rushing you.
I did have trouble reaching a nurse one day when I realised i had some bleeding - the receptionist told me they were busy doing morning scans and bloods and wouldn't let me talk to them to find out what i should do - that was upsetting since that is how my m/c's started in the past.
So I think I would say that i prefer FSWA much better than my experience at HW - and I don't think that is just because of the positive outcome. I felt more like a person this time and less like just a number.
