Sydney girls - who do I pick as my IVF FS?

[Willow]

Dr Gavin Sacks at IVF Australia. He's a genius. 'Nuff said.

You can see him at the city clinic or various other clinics around Sydney (can't remember which clinics on which days and I think that's changed since I saw him anyway).

We had the same issue as you - left tube blocked due to adhesions and scarring from surgery. I also had part of my left ovary removed.

Google him or search his name on this site and you'll find lots of info and posts about him. Have a look at their website too if you haven't already.

I can't recommend Dr Ric Porter at IVF Australia enough. He's so professional, he's just wonderful. I totally trust him, which I think is really important. He is my FS & was my OB for my son. I'm now seeing him again for No.2.

Good luck with whoever you choose!

I second everything BW has to say in regards to checking out fee structures for the clinics first

Dr Bowman from SIVF comes with extremely good recommendations.. but SIVF is by far the most expensive.. At this point in time, too expensive for us

I'm also going to add to the wonderful words here for Dr Sacks at IVF Australia - he is the perfect blend of specialist in the fact that he is completely dedicated.. and will also be honest with you at the same time.

Willows first line of her post is great

Good luck hun - definately check out all of the sites, and read up about the FS'... find the one that you think will suit your situation.
Its really important to find an FS you're comfortable & confident with

Thanks Girls, so much great info.

I think I will see both Dr Sacks and Dr Bowman.

I also think we will do all the prep work in the next few weeks and set to go in Jan 09. Scary!!

Anything you recommend I do in the lead up to it?

Thanks again for all the posts x
