The best clinic for you will depend on a variety of factors and on your unique set of circumstances. To get started, here are a few questions to bring to your consultations:

• Does the clinic use it's own lab vs. an outside lab? Note that not all labs are equal.

• How often does the clinic both freeze and thaw eggs and embryos? And what is the cryo-survival rate? This refers to the success rate of thawing your eggs and embryos.

• What are the rates of fertilization and your blastocyst conversion rates?

• What percentage of good quality blastocysts are seen on days 5 and 6? Does the embryology allows embryos to progress to day 7 if needed?

• How often do your PGT-A or PGT-M biopsies return inconclusive?

• Does the clinic do retrievals and transfers on the weekends?

• What tests are required before I begin a retrieval or a transfer?

• Is the financial department available for a consult before beginning treatment to understand costs and insurance benefits, if applicable?

When using SART for clinic research, here's an expert tip: Labs should be able to make great embryos using donor eggs, so look at donor eggs as your starting point.

Choosing a clinic can be overwhelming. If you're in need of additional support, feel free to schedule a session.
