Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology: |
Use the information listed

Endocrinology and Infertility, not General Obstetrics
and Gynecology. Obviously, a subspecialty board certified
specialist is highly recommended. |

| Center
for Disease Control and Prevention: |
IVF Pregnancy rates for all
reporting programs are listed here by state. Please see
listing under "University of Tennessee Fertility Center"
for relevant statistics. Our success rates have improved
even further since then! Compare them to other programs
in the state and the southeast. Check to see if the program
you're considering has reported! In general, large programs
can easily afford to report their statistics, and if they
do not, one should be very careful about having this complex
and expensive procedure performed at such a center. |
