Dr. Littman makes you feel comfortable. She's quick but not rushed. You can tell she is wildly busy, but I've never felt like she's not 100% with me during my appointments. She answers all my questions and is never condescending...Dr. Littman will not transfer more than two embryos as a time. She, her team and all the paperwork I was given made it perfectly clear why that is...The follicle stimulating shots were actually given in my thigh, not the stomach as directed on the package. Dr. Littman has seen a higher success with thigh injections
I always have a million questions about my results, next steps, what I'm eating, etc. and [the Red Rock Fertility nurse] always dedicates time to me as needed. She has a full kit of the drugs I'll be starting and shows me how to use them all...The clinic staff also helped me with my insurance and walked me through the entire process...They have everything you would need, from cleaning wipes to pads. Everyone is friendly. It's so convenient, too. Everything happens in the same place, from blood work to the actual transfer.
How was your experience with Eva Littman at Red Rock Fertility?
Dr. Littman makes you feel comfortable. She's quick but not rushed. You can tell she is wildly busy, but I've never felt like she's not 100% with me during my appointments. She answers all my questions and is never condescending (we've all had that doctor).
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Eva Littman at Red Rock Fertility?
Bring a notepad and pen. There is so much information and while they do give you a flowchart, there was still so much info I wished I had written down. If you have questions, write them down ahead of time. It is easy to forget them while there.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Eva Littman at Red Rock Fertility?
Dr. Littman and her staff are extremely kind and caring. They make an emotionally tough and physically stressful experience as comfortable as it can possibly be. They are cheerful and you feel like it's totally normal to have them in your physical personal space, which can easily feel awkward if the provider approaches it that way. They are gentle and have never caused physical pain. They call me after every procedure to check in on me. I receive frequent one-on-one time with my coordinator who answers all my questions (I have many). She always checks in with me to see how I'm doing. Dr. Littman is so cheerful and kind. She's that perfect mix of blunt (won't sugarcoat it) but she's also gentle about delivering realistic or negative news.
Describe the protocols Eva Littman used in your cycles at Red Rock Fertility and their degree of success.
We started the journey thinking we'd attempt IUI. So Dr. Littman put him on two different shots to potentially increase his sperm count. After Covid nearly killed him, we opted to skip IUI and moved to IVF. I can't recall all of the meds, but I went through one egg retrieval, which included shots to stimulate my follicles, and a shot to prevent ovulation. The follicle stimulating shots were actually given in my thigh, not the stomach as directed on the package. Dr. Littman has seen a higher success with thigh injections. The shot to prevent ovulation was in the stomach. I was on estrogen, progesterone (in the behind) and baby Aspirin for the IVF transfer. These included pills, shots and a vaginal insert.
I am also on vitamin D supplements as my counts were low.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Red Rock Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Joanna Moreno)
Joanna has become one of my favorite humans! She's so kind. I always have a million questions about my results, next steps, what I'm eating, etc. and she always dedicates time to me as needed. She has a full kit of the drugs I'll be starting and shows me how to use them all. She's empathetic and I appreciate how comfortable I feel with her. She even called me after hours one evening to ensure I got the info I needed.
Describe your experience with Red Rock Fertility.
The clinic is busy, so getting an apt. with Dr. Littman can take some time. If you're like me, you will struggle with having to wait for a call back as the person you need to talk to is almost never available when you actually call. However, someone has always gotten back to me the same day. The clinic is beautiful inside, clean, and has a calm ambiance. They have everything you would need, from cleaning wipes to pads. Everyone is friendly. It's so convenient, too. Everything happens in the same place, from blood work to the actual transfer. The phlebotomist is also one of my favorites! She always makes me laugh and has never bruised me (that happens often).
The clinic staff also helped me with my insurance and walked me through the entire process. Had it not been for their guidance, I would have made a massive insurance error that would have cost me several thousands of dollars. I appreciate them more than they know.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Eva Littman at Red Rock Fertility.
My cash expenses for egg retrieval, PGS, freezing, meds and a transfer was roughly $11K. This is with insurance. Insurance did not cover PGS at all, which was $4K of that total cost.
Describe Eva Littman's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Red Rock Fertility.
Dr. Littman will not transfer more than two embryos as a time. She, her team and all the paperwork I was given made it perfectly clear why that is. I have absolutely no challenges against that. So far, I have only done one transfer of one embryo. I was told transferring two would likely increase my chances for success, but since we only had 3 viable embryos after PGS, it was common to only transfer one the first time.
