The women are seeking fertility treatment for a variety of reasons.

They've had a couple miscarriages and they're pushing 40.

They don't have fallopian tubes or they need sperm.

One woman has a diagnosis that's like a metaphor from feminist sci-fi, a uterus with

a single horn like a unicorn.

All of them wind up at the fertility clinic at Yale University.

A couple of the women choose this clinic because they work at Yale, and that's what the

Yale Health Plan covers.

Others go to Yale on the recommendation of their doctors.

But in Connecticut, you don't even really need the recommendation.

Yale Medicine.

It's a blue chip medical brand.

You know, Yale's just a huge name and you just think anything that has anything to do

with Yale is going to be, you know, the best of the best.

It's really not close to our house.

It's not where I would have gone, but we figured, you know, another doctor from another hospital

said, this is the best you can get.

You want, of course you want that.

To some of the women, the clinic seems to live up to its billing.

They like their doctors, feel cared for by them.

That man is an angel, one of the women tells me.

He is by far the best doctor I've ever had.
