Dr. Nayak had the foresight to have a plan and a plan b. With PCOS the potential for many eggs was almost a guarantee. Dr. Nayak prepared us for the need to not go through with a fresh transfer after the egg retrieval. I'm very grateful for that plan as it did save and protect me. My body could not handle a fresh transfer after retrieval. She has been a wealth of knowledge and compassionate physician all the way through.
My biggest concern and frustration is with the disconnect between the billing department and the clinical side of the practice [Repro Med Inst]. This is an extremely stressful process that is outrageously expensive. It is helpful to have both parties understand wholisticly the entire process so they can anticipate questions, concerns, and problems. Then the focus can remain on the success of the procedures rather than the expenses.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Shweta Nayak at Reproductive Medicine Institute?
Dr. Nayak is a fantastic doctor but as the case with many medical practices, there are a lot of patients and during this very scary journey it is important for the physician and the billing department to be in sync. This unneeded stress was difficult to navigate and made us feel like a number a few times.
Describe the protocols Shweta Nayak used in your cycles at Reproductive Medicine Institute and their degree of success.
Dr. Nayak prescribed the lower dosages of the stims leading up to the egg retrieval and recommended to cryofreeze the embryos, have a menstruation cycle and then medications for a frozen embryo transfer. These medications included the injections of progesterone which she believes are more successful during a FET and for patients like myself who have PCOS. The treatment strategy was monitored and adjusted leading up to the egg retrieval as is needed and appreciated. I appreciate the unique strategy.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Reproductive Medicine Institute. (Assigned nurse: Tracey )
Overall the nurses are very pleasant, supportive and great communicators. Some are a little more removed than others but they are fantastic.
