Women are candidates for an egg donor in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle if they are in good health and less than 50 years old. Women needing egg donation include those who have advanced maternal age, premature menopause, premature ovarian failure, surgically removed ovaries, prior poor response with own eggs through IVF and genetic diseases which would be passed on to offspring.
Description of Procedure: Until recently, pregnancy success rates from egg freezing procedures were very poor. Scientific advances have now made egg freezing a viable option for women. Eggs can now be successfully frozen, stored and thawed for use at a later date. However, not all eggs freeze and thaw well.
Clomiphene citrate is commonly used along with intrauterine insemination as a fertility treatment. Clomiphene citrate is the generic name of a fertility pill which is used to induce ovulation. Brand names include Clomid and Serophene. This medication is associated with an 8% risk of twinning (normal risk is 1%) and about 1/1000 risk of triplets or more.

I am writing this based off my first appointment I had. The women who worked there was super nice and helpful which brings this to a two star. Now when I seen the doctor himself he seemed in a hurry and already had in mind what he wanted me go do, with my situation I had options but his option gives him more money. This isn't my first time down this road as I seen a fertility specialist in Austin TX who was absolutely amazing.
I have looked up another RE and won't be going back here. I do have to get my sugar under control first according to blood work which was seen at this visit and I'm okay with that which brings this to 3 stars but after that visit I definitely was not planning on going back there even before I found out. After doing this once before I know how it's supposed to go the right way.
If you like them being in a hurry and caring more about money than the right route for you to go this may be the place for you. I'd rather pay a new consultation fee for a different person than go back here. I myself have seen good and bad reviews for here. Maybe you will have a better experience than I did.
