Jane Nani

She listened to our reasons as to why we were there and our concerns about my husband being the carrier of a muscular disease. She gave us time to talk and explained everything thoroughly. I did not feel rushed or belittled by her.

She is a fast talker so you have to keep up!

In our case my husband is the carrier of a genetic muscular disease that is rather debilitating (he lives with it everyday) He did not want to pass it to his children which is why we sought out Dr. Nani. I saw she had articles posted on genetic testing which is why I chose her. She fully explained only he has to be the carrier - it does not matter if I am a carrier so long as he is and it would be a 50/50 chance. She fully explained the process of how the genetic testing process would go. She did thorough testing of me and my husband and determined we are both healthy and great candidates for IVF.

I only had to pay my co-pay for office visits and my insurance covered all my pre-testing. As for the IVF process the cost for one cycle with genetic testing is around 26,000$

Dr Nani I s always optimistic. When there are setbacks or bad outcomes she’s always looking at the bright side . To me she doesn’t give up . She try’s things and doesn’t just do what everyone else is doing or works for them . Let’s you be your own adovcate .

Don’t take her cheery happy attitude as she doesn’t care . She just try’s to look at the bright side and not discourage you

Since I had multiple hystercopy cuz of adhesions dr Nani wouldn’t let me move forward with out doing a mock/era cycle to make my sure my uterus was capable of a transfer . First fet was antagonist. My lining did not respond well . She added extra meds like Del estrogen and extra estrogen in general to help thicken my lining and reduce fluid from my uterus. She didn’t just cancel . My first fet was a positive hcg but ended in miscarriage at 7.5 weeks . My thyroid went crazy and my progesterone dropped so they added extra meds to try to save . 2nd fet did antagonistic. Started out with higher dosage of estrace from beginning. Ended up with fluid again . Added Del estrogen and did fluid aspiration. Day of transfer I had tri lining like last time and no fluid so we went for it . Doctor Nani did give me option to cancel if I wanted . We also started out higher dosage of progesterone to avoid a drop . Also we were checking thyroid weekly and adjusting meds as needed . We were on top of things but unfortunately my thyroid went crazy and had a negative. Went to my what happed appointment. She recommended changing protocol to stimulated cuz of poor lining issues even though the first one did take . Recommended getting more blood work and us on thyroid b4 transferring again . I also brought up a ob/immunologist to her and she was on board and backed me up on everything. She even tried to get me in sooner to the doctor. She also kept in contact with my ob the whole time since I M very close to her . Through out this whole process she always had a smile on her face and always happy even when she was coming into to do surgery on me at 6am . It can be annoying but atleast she’s always optimistic. I knew I was with the right doctor when she didn’t knock down all my ideas .

Us tech vita is amazing. Very compassionate and explains everything. I got so comfortable with her that I would ask for her if another tech was going to take me . All the people I have a relationship with treat me well and treat me like a friend and make me feel like they truly care

I have pretty good coverage . But nothing was always paid fir unless my max oop was met

My first fet was single embryo , 2nd time I was given the option of 1 or 2.

Dr. Nani sat down with us and went over all testing results. She said simply we had unexplained infertility. We made a game plan, when the game plan wasn't producing a result, we changed directions. She is knowledgeable and I trusted her with helping me and my husband.

Trust her, she knows what she is doing. She will do everything ethically allowed to help make a baby happen for you.

Since I had already been with one fertility doctor for just one treatment, she was able to take that into consideration and proceed with a different direction. Dr. Nani never felt like we had to start from scratch at her office. We proceeded with the IUI. After the third non successful IUI treatment she so no further need to keep up with this course of treatment. She is always aware of the cost of these treatments and what insurance will cover so we moved on to Invetro. The one IVF treatment we used worked the first time. The office was very specific amount the amount of eggs that can be transferred.

I was very happy with the monitoring appointments. The appointments worked around my work schedule. The monitoring appointments are very well run. The technician knows exactly what she is doing due to her experience and doesn't hold you there for anything unnecessary.

We were very lucky to run everything through our insurance. We were able to work on the IUI treatments. When we switched over to the IVF procedure, I knew we had $10,000 left in insurance so that was our final shot.

We transferred two embryos. Only one was successful. After the eggs had fertilized, the lab took a look at the quality and thought the two eggs were of good quality there was not a need for a third. Three is the max they would transfer to me. On our way to the transfer (3 day transfer), the office called and thought we could wait to do a 5 day. They allowed us to make the decision and we went with the 3 day transfer.

Dr. Nani was positive and optimistic when our previous clinic was not. She was awesome and we will see her again for baby number 2. I never felt like a number with her and she was responsive after at backs.

Believe and be patient. She will get you there.

A lot. I was self pay. Our retrieval cycle was over $30,000. Our FET was about $10,000.

Dr Nani was very optimistic about our outcome even when things looked like they should work and they didn't, she never lost hope. Having that reassurance was a great help when going through such a hopeless time. We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Dr Nani did get more involved in our cycles once we started the IVF process versus the earlier pills & injectable cycles. During the early cycles she was more involved behind the scenes rather than in person. Dr Nani even made sure she did one of the transfers for us to help ease our minds that it wasn't working because of a dr error. FCI has a rotation of doctors who perform the retrievals and transfers so it was a comforting feeling to see her plan our cycle around when her rotation fell on the schedule. Dr Nani was always very friendly and helpful during everything!

Don't be afraid to ask questions and learn about your process. She will tell you everything she thinks you need to know but its a complex process and there will be things you don't know that having clarification on will help get you involved in your journey.

#1. The first cycle we did was a simple clomid cycle with timed intercourse. The result was negative. This was done because Dr Nani wanted to start off simple and see how my body responded to the medication. #2 - #3. We did two more additional clomid cycles due to insurance requirement of 3 clomid cycles before moving to a more progressive treatment of injectables. We did one timed interocurse and one IUI with these cycles. Both cycles ended with negative results. During these cycled Dr Nani begin to test my vitamin D and thyroid levels to ensure they were in the right ranges. They were not so we had to adjust with medication. #4. This cycle was an injectable cycle with IUI. Dr Nani felt this would help be a little more forceful of a cycle as it was possible the clomid was diminishing my egg quality. The result was negative. During this cycle we noticed my husband's sperm count was starting to drop and it was suggested we move onto IVF due to my increasing age and strong desire to get pregnant. #5. This was a fresh 5 day transfer IVF cycle. I was monitored to ensure I didn't encounter OHSS and I'm happy to say that I didn't encounter any post-op problems with over stimulation. I did produce 15 eggs and they were able to fertilize 7 with the ICSI process. All 7 made it to the 5 day stage (Grade A) and we decided to transfer just a single egg on our first transfer. #6. This was a FET cycle where we transferred two embryos. Dr Nani performed this transfer to ensure there were no problems doing the transfer. The result was negative. This cycle Dr Nani to recommend another saline ultrasound to verify everything looked good and do a blood check for natural killer cells. It resulted that my NK count was slightly elevated and my saline ultrasound came back perfect. #7. This was another FET cycle where we transfered two embryo's. Due to my higher NK cell count Dr Nani added an inter-lipids infusion prior to transfer to help decrease my NK cell count, which worked in decreasing my count to a safe level. The result of this cycle was a positive! We are currently expecting one little boy May 2016.

I work for a company in Wisconsin and live in Illinois so my insurance coverage was slightly different than if my company was from Illinois. The monitoring appointments typically cost around $200 with ultrasound and bloodwork. For the IVF cycles I was able to work with Dr Nani to ensure that the cost could stay within my lifetime maximum covered by my insurance. I think in total we spent $6,000 out of our pocket over the year of treatments for all the medications and appointments (including egg retrieval and three transfer cycles).

Dr Nani is an extremely positive and personable Doctor. She is your biggest supporter in your treatments. I never felt that I would not be able to get pregnant. She knows her stuff and treats you like a person with feelings.

Nothing, she covers everything. She makes it as pleasurable as she can. She will make you feel that getting pregnant is easy when that is not always the case.

We started with pills which did not work due to my pcos. After the pills, we switched to injectables. The first round went well and we made it to an iui, but did not get pregnant. The next round of injectables I ended up with 8 eggs so we decided to cancel the iui. If we had insurance, we could had converted to ivf. We did another round of injectables and iui with no pregnancy. The last round we started with idea of converting to ivf of neede, as we went a little more aggressive with meds. We made it to an iui and we got pregnant!

Dr. Nani is the kind of doctor I love. Her attitude was always that we would get pregnant. She was always very positive about everything we did. This helped us stay positive and believed that it would happen. She is a no nonsense doctor who tells it like it is. We loved her!

She has a great attitude and is your biggest supporter.

We were struggling in the beginning so we ended up taking a more aggressive approach with the idea that it would be turned into ivf if needed. It turned out to not be needed and we got pregnant. I am very happy with her approach.

We had to pay everything out of pocket. Our totals were near 10,000
