My care coordinator was sometimes slow to respond and the calendar was sometimes unclear. My assigned IVF coordinator was very kind and helpful.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Fertility Center.
Very willing to work with us, and I had several emergencies that were all handled well. They use an app for your calendar, lab results, billing, and messaging people, and the app was sometimes unclear which was frustrating. I found an inconsistency in a contract and they were open with me about not being sure how to resolve it and that they would ask and get it cleared up for me. I was not given great instructions about who to contact for what and had to figure that out for myself. I wish the website was a little more clear as well, especially with pricing breakdowns and FAQs.
However, we are so glad that we picked them. They were the most affordable place for us and gave us options on how to pay (plan vs upfront). We had a successful egg retrieval and I am five weeks pregnant with the first embryo we transferred. The staff was always happy to help. I always got good answers to my questions. Many of the staff know me and my name, which feels so personal and assuring. It is a smaller, newer clinic, and I think in some ways they're still working out the bugs, but it felt personal and like the staff all cared about us and our journey.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jamie Peregrine at Conceptions Fertility Center.
$10,500 for egg retrieval with ICSI included as needed, $3,500 per transfer. We received a 10% discount for paying upfront.
Describe Jamie Peregrine's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Conceptions Fertility Center.

Dr. Peregrine cares about her patients more then any other Doctor I have interacted with. She made sure we were comfortable with next steps every step of the way for our IUI. When it came time to inseminate or not she let us know our small risk of multiples and what that could mean as well. She not only made sure we were well informed but made sure we felt seen and heard.

We had more mature follicles then expected on our IUI cycle as a result of a slightly higher dose of antagonist medications due to a poor response my first IUI. We were able to get pregnant on this IUI with our twins with a 22% chance of twins and a 15% chance of achieving a pregnancy at all with IUI.
