Dr. San Roman makes you feel comfortable with him from the beginning but I believe he thought that I would be an easy case and a year later we don’t have any new information that could help in conceiving, although we’ve had several failures...wasn’t as aggressive as I thought we needed to be from the beginning...thought that I would be very easy so he started off slow.
The nurse practitioners [at Northwell Health-Smithtown] do get involved and take on your journey when you express that you are frustrated and feeling down. The office has a very pleasant atmosphere although they often run late with appointments...Most times the nurses were compassionate and offered help when needed. Unfortunately, they could only help with so much.

Describe the protocols Gabe San Roman used in your cycles at Northwell Health (FKA North Shore Long Island Jewish) and their degree of success.
He thought that I would be very easy so he started off slow. My first cycle I was prescribed low dose letrozole and a trigger with iui which resulted in one large egg. The second iui they prescribed an increase in letrozole with the trigger and two eggs were produced. Round 3 was the same letrozole but natural ovulation with 2 eggs and the 4th on was the same letrozole, natural ovulation with 3 eggs. The 4th round resulted in a positive pregnancy test with a d & c at week 9 because the embryo did not grow. Genetic testing revealed there was an issue with chromosome 4
