Finding a new Doctor

I have been trying to find a doctor to sign off for ici at home. Unfortunately, my doctor doesnt want to do it and wanted to refer me to a OBGYN. After I called 5 different OBGYNs in Jacksonville FL (where I live), nobody will sign off on it. They all say they will only sign off if it is done in their office. How can i find a doctor who will let me do it at home?

    Good question. Give us a call at 866-927-9622 and we can give you names and numbers of physicians in your area who work with us regularly. I'm sure we can find you the help you need.

    For the record, while at-home inseminations do work, your chances of success are significantly lower outside a doctor's office. Especially if you are over 30 or have any other medical issues you may not be aware of without an exam.

    Good luck,

    Ok. so I called your 866 number and recieved a list of 36 doctors in my area that you have dealt with. However, I called all of them and none of them will see me for the sign off on the in home insemination. They all say the same thing; its a liability.

    I know there are better chances doing it in the doctors office but I am 25 and in great health. I have been tracking this for months and I want to try the insemination at home.

    What do I do from here?

    I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time.

    There are doctors who are willing to sign the A-1 for non-patients, but many prefer not to do it. All I can suggest is that you speak to your own doctor again or the OBGYN you would use to deliver the baby. You can look for a midwife in your area. They can sign the A-1 as well.

    Good luck,

    Hi Scott,

    Do you have doctors you recommend in the Danville/San Fran area and Denver, CO? My partner and I are considering going there to do our IVF and want to find a good doctor that works with Cryobank.

    Thanks,
    Mariana
