Reproductive Medicine & Infertility Associates

Dr Stassart was amazing and thorough to the point I left the appointment unbelievablely joyful. He spoke very highly of his clinic and work, which gave me a lot confidence in him & his work. He took the time to sit down with us for well over an hour and talk about how IVF works, what to expect & how it’s going to look for me specifically. He’s very kind & empathetic, as well as having great knowledge about women and their bodies. He gave me so much assurance he knew what he’s doing (knows everything down to a science) which decreased my stress and anxiety!

Eat before you go (haha). He took so much time with us to make sure we knew everything we didn’t have time for lunch - well worth it though! Also, bring a notebook and a pen to take some notes!

I first had my consult with him the end of February. We met, did a trial transfer and talked about IVF. We wanted a quick surgery done to clean up some polyps and fibroids he saw during the ultrasound before we started. I had surgery done & was suppose to go in for my baseline ultrasound the following week, but unfortunately my cycle was canceled due to COVID-19, so I haven’t even been able to really start anything yet!

We qualified for the Warranty Program... meaning if we didn’t have a live baby after 9 months in our arms (within 12 months of doing IVF) we’d get our money back!

I am so amazed that Dr Stassart has IVF down to such a science, he only uses one embryo at time. I love knowing he has that much confidence in himself and his work!

Jani is an incredible physician. She is honest yet her delivery is compassionate. She takes time with her patients and never makes you feel rushed or less important than what’s next on her schedule. She gets to know you and your spouse as people not as patients and from the moment my husband and I met her we felt so confident we were in excellent hands.

Bring your questions because Jani always makes time for answering all of your questions and concerns!!

We used stimulating medications: follostim and menopur leading up to egg retrieval. We used Lupron as trigger. For transfer I was on IM progesterone, oral estrogen,oral steroids and oral antibiotics. Also took prenatals, baby aspirin and Vit D supplements.

Our if pocket cost was roughly $19,000 and my insurance covered approximately $15,000-$20,000

Due to using PGS tested embryos our clinic only transfers 1 PGS normal embryo at a time due to a higher risk of losing an embryo when 2 are transferred at the same time.

I truly only have positive things to say about my fertility experience with Dr. Jansen. I want to also preface that even though, as of today, we have not had the intended outcome we are hoping for, pregnancy - she has always given me the support, courage, hope and information I need to continue trying to achieve pregnancy. I believe she is progressive in her thinking without leading me into false hope. Every treatment or test she would share with us what she learned about me, and my body and would using that (along with her medical expertise) to inform the next move. Each next move we have gotten closer and closer to what we are hoping for. Prior to coming to Dr. Jansen, I was told after one cancelled IUI at another clinic, I would never be able to produce any mature eggs. With Dr. Jansen, she did not give up - she said that we may not get a lot, but we will get some. 2 of the 3 IVF cycles (one was cancelled due poor response to medication) I yielded 3 mature eggs in the second cycle and three the third. For me, that was a huge success because can produce mature eggs.

She will be honest with you while at the same time hugging you with kindness and compassion as you make some of the hardest decisions of your life.

First cycle...started with Folistim 150 and Lupron. Continued to increase Folistim amount. but stimulation day 12 my follicles started to perk up, but not to the extend to what she wanted. What she learned or shared with us is, if we wanted to move forward we would do, I believe flare protocol and that it might be a long protocol too. That next cycle gave us 3 mature eggs, all fertilized, one fresh transfer and one FET, the last embryo didn't make it to freeze. Our second cycle, for the FET we did have a chemical pregnancy. That was my first ever positive pregnancy test - I was so happy, even though it didn't yield our intended result. I am currently in my TWW of the 3rd cycle where we did the same at cycle two only we added estrogen priming. We transferred on day three and currently in our TWW.

monitoring appointments for me were flexible they would give a range of times that worked. On a few occasions the times were a bummer, but that was because i'm not really a morning person. Haha

It was 11,000 for IVF without the drug. They worked really well with my insurance. I would get my Menopur from the clinic which was nice. I spent a lot on meds about 500$ a day given I was a poor responder.

I know this was based on how many eggs would be retrieved and knowing that I wasn't going to come out with a lot I knew that if is was a good quality embryo we would transfer one and 2 of lesser quality if those options were available.

After my initial consultation with Dr. Jensen I felt confident that she knew what she was doing and that there was a real chance that IUI would work for us. However, as treatment progressed, I never heard from Dr. Jensen (only via email in a templated letter that stated the same thing every cycle). I felt after each IUI I was never given feedback about my progress or my cycle and reasoning for increasing my clomid dosage. I felt like just another person on her list of patients to review each month and that my treatment was not at all tailored to my personal situation.

Ask every single question you can think of at your consultation. This is literally the only time you will ever have a conversation with your actual doctor so even small questions like diet, exercise, be sure to ask her up front because she will not be available to meet with you after your consultation. Be prepared to work only with your nurses and to be in charge of your own treatment. Ask LOTS of questions every time you visit the clinic and make sure you understand what is happening each time you go. Barely any information is ever given at appointments so if you are unsure of something you need to be sure you ask -- the nurses will not provide you with any more than the bare minimum unless you ask. This clinic loves to do a blood draw even if you have a negative pregnancy test so be prepared to pay for your beta test every, single, cycle regardless of the outcome.

When I met with Dr. Jensen, I had already had all of the basic workup done for my infertility diagnosis by my OB-GYN. My blood work, HSG, pap results, and even my husband's semen analysis had all been provided to Dr. Jensen prior to my appointment and all results led to an unexplained infertility diagnosis. While meeting with her, I asked if further testing could be done or would be required, and I was told that no further testing would be needed and that moving on to treatment was my best option as I had a 3% chance of conceiving naturally each month at this point. The overall strategy from Dr. Jensen was to try three medicated cycles of IUI with HCG Trigger shot before moving on to IVF. The first cycle, I was prescribed 50 milligrams of Clomid for 5 days beginning on cycle day 5, with ultrasound on cycle day 10. After analyzing the size of my two follicles, I was then instructed to use the trigger shot on day 13 and come back for IUI on day 14. This cycle was unsuccessful and on day 28 I came in for a beta test to confirm negative results. I was told everything looked normal and to try again for IUI #2. The next cycle I was told to follow the same steps as the previous cycle. When I came in for my baseline ultrasound on day 10, I was told that I had one cyst and one follicle that was almost ready. I did the trigger shot on day 13 and came in day 14 for IUI when I was told the cyst was actually just a small follicle that never matured fully but that the other follicle was adequate in size. This was another unsuccessful cycle and my beta test on day 28 confirmed the negative results. The next cycle I was told to follow the same steps as before, but my Clomid dosage was increased from 50 milligrams to 100. On day 10 I was told that I did in fact have a cyst (not a small follicle as previously determined), but also had a very large follicle that was ready to go. My body was naturally surging on its own, so I triggered that night and came back on day 12 for IUI. This was another unsuccessful cycle. I was then told to come back for round 4 of IUI with another increase of clomid to 150 milligrams. It was at this point that I decided to stop coming back to RMIA. I was initially told by Dr. Jensen that after three failed IUIs, the likelihood that more attempts would work decreased dramatically. So, I was very confused when I received yet another, templated letter from the doctor stating to try again with just an increase in medication. I felt extremely frustrated that in 3 months I hadn't had any face time with my doctor and even after the strategy we had mapped out was complete, I still got no further feedback from her and the reasoning for another attempt was extremely unclear.

I only went to Dr. Jensen for IUI. Overall, I felt that her pricing was steep compared to others I had spoken to. Each aspect of treatment was priced differently, but overall for insemination, blood work, ultrasounds, each cycle totaled to about $1,200. Medications were separate from this cost. This is higher than I have heard others have paid ($800), and I did always feel pressured to have blood work done even if I knew I was not pregnant (negative pregnancy test on day 28 of my cycle, or spotting). This cost me almost $300 each time I had blood drawn, and I felt that was a cost that could have been cut if the clinic had personalized my treatment more, or had been more aware of saving their patients money.

We've really enjoyed having Dr. Jensen as our RE. She is very personable and truly cares about her patients. She has been open and honest about each step in the process - detailing information on infertility, procedures, and the anticipated results.

For each of our 4 IUIs, we did 5 days of Clomid 50mg, taking each dose at night in-between days 3-7 and a single insemination taking place around CD 12-15. While we had 3-4 large follicles and good sperm counts, none of these resulted in a positive pregnancy test. In-between IUIs 2 and 3, we had to wait for cysts to go away and I was on birth control for 40 days. After failed IUI 4, we moved to IVF. I took birth control for a month before starting stims including a week of Estrace. This was followed by a week of Ganirelix due to high estrogen. I started stims (2 vials of Menopur and 75iu of Follistim daily in the morning). A week in, I dropped Follistim and added Ganirelix at night. For a trigger, I used both a Lupron and an HCG trigger. 48 hours later, 13 eggs were retrieved, 11 mature, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to blast, and 3 were tested normal.

If embryos are PGS tested as normal, they recommend one embryo transfer.

Dr Jensen was an excellent doctor. She was both very compassionate and very knowledgeable. My only concern is that when we saw her for RPL and she immediately jumped on the IVF train even though we had no problem conceiving.

We did three medicated cycles with timed intercourse (with Clomid) and two IUIs (with Clomid and an HcG trigger shot). The rationale is that ovulating more eggs might improve hormone levels and better help support a pregnancy. The treatment resulted in two chemical pregnancies and two miscarriages (we suffer from RPL), so while it was successful in achieving pregnancy, it did not ultimately help sustain a pregnancy.

Our consultation with Jani was great. However, I was surprised she wasn’t the one that performed my IUI’s. After my first IUI once I built “relationships” with the nurses, I felt more comfortable with the actual IUI procedure.

Be patient - this takes time and the actual plan you set with them may change depending on how your body reacts to the medication.

Each IUI consisted of 5 days of clomid (100mg). Then an ovidril shot 1-2days before procedure. Then a progesterone suppository 2 times a day after the IUI procedure until I go in for blood work

Unfortunately I do not have my bills with me. However, my insurance does assist up to IUI’s.

Not at this time.

His care, compassion, hope and expertise was a huge gift to us. He really knows what he is doing and does it with care. After a long journey, he gave us continued hope, and he was right, we we blessed with 3 beautiful children!

Infertility is so hard, praying for everyone in their journey. Where there is a will, there is a way!

We did the HOPE program, I had a very speicific medication and injections routine (can't remember names and dosages).

We did the HOPE program that included three full cycles or your money back.

We did both. He was clear about the success rates based on our situation and gave his recommendation but ultimately gave us the say in what happened.

Dr. Stassart is extremely knowledgeable and kind mannered. He explained the process in a manner than I could understand. He respected my opinions on the process. He spoke directly to me, and treated me both as a patient and as a person. He was encouraging throughout the process. I never moved to advanced treatment without fully understanding my medical and financial options. When we finally received a positive outcome, he calmed my fears about pregnancy.

Be comfortable and ask questions.

Jani was really knowledgeable about infertility and had great bedside manner. She was confident in our treatment and gave us realistic outcomes. I would recommend Jani to anyone having issues conceiving.

Keep pushing for answers. It’s hard to still not understand why we couldn’t conceive on our own.

5k per iui and 20k for ivf

With Dr Stassart I felt in such good hands. Every procedure he explained exactly what was to occur, was very gentle and was confident in what he was doing. He takes the time to explain everything in detail and makes you feel like he is there struggling with you and wants this to work just as much as you do.

Know that you will only see him when doing IVF procedures and consultations. But his nursing team does an amazing job on the checkup appointments in between.

Being that our IVF cycle was postponed due to Covid-19 and Dr. Jensen experienced health issues that temporarily transferred our care to another doctor. I don't have a solid grasp on her as a provider, but from what I've experienced thus far, she is thorough, knowledgeable, and compassionate in person.

For anyone heading into IVF, I would encourage them to advocate for their needs.

IVF with low dose Menopur protocol, due to high risk of hyperstimulation. ICSI for slight male factor infertility and for PGT prep.

Costs are dependent on the choices you make in your treatment, and ours isn't finished yet so wouldn't be accurate.

Strong preference for one embryo

She is very open and honest but makes you feel important and that you are not just a pay check. She is willing to try a new treatment regimen example after our hysteroscopy since it was my second one, first one with her I asked about the hormone therapy she said because this being my second one she would do it even though nothing has been proven it helping 100% but that is was worth a shot since the first time we did not do hormone therapy and low and behold I believe it helped as we had a clear ultrasound a month after surgery and the hormone therapy. She is very considerate that we drive three hours to see her for appointments and when we debated on doing another iui after switching to her from our other doctor she was honest that it would not be worth our time or money to drive all the way up for a small chance it may work if we had a place closer to home to do iui she encouraged that my husband and I go there if that was on our hearts but if we wanted to do the iui with her she was still have to do it justadr sure we understood the small percent it would be successful after 3 failed attempts. we were truly amazed and that was the first moment we felt she truly cared for us as people not as a paycheck. She always answers all my emails promptly and the appointments have been scheduled in a reasonable amount of time. She is very knowledgeable and is always willing to learn new treatment protocols and educate her self on things that are new in infertility research. she flew across state for one day to a conference to hear them talk about a new ivf technique even though she felt it would not be as productive she wanted to be able to fully educate patients on her reasons why they would or wouldn’t do it. She was open about her own life when asked and that helped to get to know her on a personal level. This is my first time in a private practice and I love it. Dr jensen and her team at RMIA are amazing and we fully appreciate their help and knowledge and have full confidence they will help us have a healthy baby.

Be open on what you want and don’t stop advocating for yourself.

At this point we have not done a treatment regimen yet we switched to her from our other re in nov 2018. we did some work ups after our consult we did blood work to check on clotting disorder and vitamin d, we did an sis ultrasound where scar tissue was found again so we did a hysteroscopy in Jan 2019 to remove scar tissue and hormone therapy we went back for another sis ultrasound in feb 2019 and agreed we’d try on our own for 6 months if we are not successful we would move forward with IVF.

So far our insurance has covered surgery and initial things but if we move forward to ivf or were to do an iui our insurance would cover nothing!

NA

I enjoyed his personality. He was warm,kind,and gentle. He was always making sure I was ok. i felt like he took his time with us, I never felt rushed. I thought he did a great job of explaining the science of IVF.

Be prepared that you might not succeed the first time. Even if everything goes great and you respond well to medications and get enough eggs. Just be prepared that it might not work

I was put on Menupur. I don't remember the dose or how many days, but it worked. They retrieved 9 eggs from my ovary. (I only have one). He let my last embryo go till day 6, then froze it.

Ivf is terribly expensive. My medications alone were 6,000. For my egg retrieval and FET, it came to about 20,000.

We spoke about how many embryos to transfer. We agreed on 2.

He made us feel so comfortable and was so informative and kind. He made it very easy to understand the steps and made a heartbreaking situation (infertility) seem hopeful. We will never forget our experience that was made easier by Dr. Stassert and his staff.

Make the appointment! Don't be scared, it's just a consultation. I promise that you will leave more confident than when you entered.

He immediately zoned in on my egg quality and we found out after 8 years of TTC that it was def. my eggs. They had a 'harder outer shell' that the sperm could not penetrate. My previous Dr. had not mentioned this, so I immediately felt all other treatments were not necessary and just a waste. Very frustrating! However, Dr. Stassert figured this out almost immediately. He recommended ICSI and we decided to go with his recommendation. We trusted him 100% and are so happy that we did!

I was covered under insurance so we had to meet our deductible. I'm not too sure about the costs.

We came to RMIA because we didn’t feel like we were getting the best care from our previous clinic in regards to fertility treatments. The second we met Jani Jenson we felt that we made the right decision. We are currently only on our first round of iui with this clinic, but already feel so comfortable and confident that we will get a successful outcome. She took the time to answer the many questions we had and we never felt like it was rushed or just a number. She even talked to us a little bit about her family which is something I really appreciate coming from a doctor. She is so kind and makes sure we know exactly what the plan is going forward.

I believe my first iui will be around $2000 out of pocket

Dr. Kim was great and thorough, very kind and showed support for what we wanted to do. She explained the risks, and what would happen if something didn't go as planned. She let us ask questions and didn't try to rush us through our appointment.

Go into the appointment confident that your questions will be answered.

Dr. Stassart had a very warm approach. He explained the procedures clearly and compassionately. We were impressed with how personable and modest he was. He was correct in his methods, and we were successful on our first try. We are very grateful to Dr. Stassart for our miracle baby!

Getting started with appointments may be difficult, but once you’re in the door, you can expect a high quality service from Dr. Stassart and his team.

We saw Dr. Stassart due to male infertility issues. He explained the Icsi procedure and estimated that based on my medical history and age, the process should be successful with one embryo transfer. He was correct. We achieved pregnancy from yhour first try, and had a healthy baby.

Costs were higher than expected.

Based on my good medical record and relatively young age, Dr. Stassart estimated we would only need one embryo to be successful, and he was correct. We full trusted him and went with his recommendation.

Dr. Stassart was helpful in explaining the treatment in detail and has resolved many questions we had during the process. The only concern i had was the time to reach him in case of any questions during the meds intake. It would have helped better if the nurses could take the calls on priority and get the answers quicker to relieve my stress on timelines of meds intake.

Bear with the nursing staff and do not expect that there will reminders on the process. Do you homework on all the expectations and process timelines for better outcome.

Doctor had a strong preference to single transfer since it was a first time and it turned positvely for us. I appreciate his input on single transfer and helping us not risk on multiples.

Dr. Stassart was incredibly knowledgeable. We felt like his years of experience truly translated into him making an informed course of action for us- we didn't feel like we were expected to fit in to a one-size-fits-all program.

Ask questions! He's more than willing to discuss anything and everything, so utilize that time.

Menopur and Gonal-F, trigger shot after 7 days.

Our cycle was just shy of $8000 (completely out of pocket), with another $5000 in medication (out of pocket).

We discussed this with Dr. Stassart as we wanted to transfer two embryo's. Dr. Stassart explained how this decision could play out (regarding multiple live births), but ultimately let us know that it was our decision as to how many embryos to transfer, and that he would support our decision to transfer more than one.

We met with Dr. Jensen after being treated at another clinic for over a year. We relocated to MN and wanted to "start over" with fertility treatments with a new doctor. My husband and I were both very impressed with our initial visit with Dr. Jensen. The first consultation was very informative and we didn't feel like we were being "rushed" out the door. She wanted to get to know us and asked us questions about how we met and what we liked to do. This was important to me because our last doctor did not take the time to do this, and it made it even harder to be going through fertility treatments. Dr. Jensen did not find anything new with our test results and history, however, we felt very hopeful leaving the clinic. We felt like she truly cared about seeing us have a successful pregnancy.

The one piece of advice my husband and I would give, would be to ask all the questions you want to. We went in with some previous experience with a fertility clinic so we were aware of how most of it worked, however, we still felt like we had a million questions and we never felt like we couldn't ask them.

We are diagnosed with unexplained infertility (by both clinics we have gone to). Dr. Jensen saw that we had already gone through 4 medicated IUI's and gave us a few pathways. She said we could continue with medicated IUI's or go with IVF. She felt either of these options would lead us to a successful pregnancy. We decided to continue doing a few more medicated IUI's. We used clomid and the trigger shot ovidrel for two more rounds of IUI. Both of them were unsuccessful. We have decided to do IVF and are now pursuing that route.

They accept most major insurances and the pricing seems to be in line to other clinics.

While this doctor had a very kind bedside manner, I felt that he was not honest about our likelihood of success. After our first transfer he looked my husband in the eyes and said "70% chance of success, I feel great about this". The next three transfers he also told us this was it, odds were great, it would be the one. We never had success.

He is kind and has a caring bedside manner, but I would thoroughly complete my own research regarding odds of success.

For around $80,000 I had consult and testing, two retrievals (one with PGS testing), two fresh transfers, two frozen transfers, all monitoring, and medications included in price.

After initial failures began pushing for more than one embryo. I held strong to one for the third transfer. The fourth transfer was 2 PGS tested embryos and still no success.

He is very thorough and knowledgeable with a lot of experience. Good bedside manners but can be hard to understand at times, has a bit of an accent. He is very compassionate and caring and gives you much hope but is also to the point. I would highly recommend him and RMIA. Also the nurses are great!

He is a good choice to have as your fertility doctor but can be a bit hard to understand due to his slight accent and is soft spoken but really makes you feel at ease!

First step prior to FET was sonohysterogram and labs. Prenatal vitamin, CoQ10 and birth control were taken. Then Lupron injection was prescribed for 11 days. Baseline labs completed. Estrace started 2x day vaginally for 2 weeks then changed to orally. Lupron dose decreases then last dose given before starting progesterone IM shots along with Doxycycline and Flagyl. Medrol taken week of transfer for 4 days. Day of transfer progesterone taken between 6-10a and last dose of antibiotics were taken thst evening. Progestone injection continues and Endometrin vaginally starts. I am unsure of rationale for their protocol.

$4000 for FET plus all prescreening, monitoring and medication cost. Totalled to approx $8000.

Yes he recommended only one embryo at transfer due to risk of multiple pregnancy. Unfortunately I ended up having miscarriage at 7 weeks and am now schedule to do another transfer with 2 embryos (out last 2) and we both agreed that would give me higher success rate.

The first thing we noticed about Dr. Leonard is that she is extremely passionate about what she does. She loves her job and it shows - she is also highly skilled and very knowledgable. We've never left a meeting with her with unanswered questions - she almost always ends up covering everything we need to know before we even have to ask. When I miscarried, she showed the utmost compassion and sensitivity. She always puts our desires first and is never pushy. She gives us the information that we need, then lets us make the decision. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking fertility treatment, and can't imagine us going anywhere else.

Educate yourself and know what you want before your meetings, because ultimately the decision is going to be up to you.

Dr. Leonard recommended starting off with IUI - this was with Clomid and an Ovidrel trigger injection. We actually recieved a positive result on our 3rd round, however, it ended in a miscarriage. We did all recommended testing following the miscarriage, including testing of the tissues, and there was nothing out of the ordinary - cause unknown. We opted to do 3 more rounds of IUI following the miscarriage, but none were successful, so she recommended that IVF would be the next logical step and we agree.

If paying out of pocket, IUI is approximately $2,000/cycle.

Our infertility journey is male factor and we went into treatment not knowing if my husband would have usable sperm. We thought we had a plan going into the appointment but there were a lot of different scenarios for our situation and more decisions that we didn’t think about. Dr Leonard walked us through our options in great detail but in a way that made sense to us. She provided detailed notes, graphs and diagrams from our meeting that helped a lot. She always provides her honest opinion and is truly thinking about our best interest. We are so thankful for her guidance and our egg retrieval went exactly how she expected.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions and ask for the doctors opinion

Since I was not the infertility factor my medication and dosage wasn’t extreme. I do have cystic Ovaries so they anticipated retrieving a large amount of eggs. Dr Leonard suggested we do genetic testing since we were more likely to end up with a large quantity of embryos and this gave us a better chance of transferring the best embryo to lead to a successful pregnancy. They retrieved 18 eggs, 13 fertilized, 10 were sent to genetic testing and we have 8 great quality embryos.

We’ve spent $15,000 so far on IVF. We’ve spent another $15,000 on male factor infertility

Due to my age and our situation being MFI, we were told multiple embryo transfer would not be needed. Their main goal is to have a healthy pregnancy and baby so they really push single embryo transfer
