Dr. Hansen is very thorough and takes the time to explain all your options along with the pros and cons of each option. He has as a good be side manner and is easy to speak with. We had a very complicated situation with a male fertility factor and he worked closely with the urologist to devise a plan.

He is always very thorough and patient with our numerous questions.
Describe the protocols Karl Hansen used in your cycles at OU Physicians Reproductive Health and their degree of success.
We started seeing Hansen because we thought our problem was female related, turns out it was not. Hansen was instrumental in determining the best way to work closely with urologist given the unknown outcome of the male fertility factor. I already had eggs frozen from years before due to possible chemo treatment that ended up not taking place. Therefore we had to determine whether or not to undergo another fresh cycle or use frozen eggs or do both those options in conjunction with my husband's procedure -weighing the pros and cons of each scenario. Unfortunately, my husband procedure was not successful, therefore I am grateful we did not do a fresh cycle.

Describe Karl Hansen's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at OU Physicians Reproductive Health.
Sadly, we did not get to the part in the process too much. But he did express single would be his preference earlier on in our meetings with him, especially because I have an autoimmune disease.

I have went thru several losses including a stillbirth so Dr Hanson worked thru my anxiety of doing treatments. He has changed my treatments to fit me not just text book treatments. The first retrieval I felt like it wasn't going to be successful and Dr Hanson kept talking to me about positivity and keeping my faith.... 1st retrieval- follistim, ganirelix, menopur 75mg, and trigger shot. 14 eggs retrieved, 13 fertilized without assistance, 2 "B+" eggs, 9 "B" eggs, 2 "C" eggs. The 2 "B+" eggs were transferred on day 5 the rest did not make it to freeze. Negative pregnancy test. 2nd retrieval- birth control, lupron, follistim, menopur, trigger shot. 18 eggs retrieved, 16 fertilized on their own, transferred 2 grade "B" on day 3, 2 made it to freeze. Negative pregnancy
Billing department [at OU Physicians Reproductive Health] could use some help because they couldn't get Attain program corrected in during billing process but everything else was great. Make sure to have your insurance in order. Know your benefits and contact them if you have questions... 8900 for single egg retrieval and transfer. We chose to do the Attain program so it gave us more chances

How was your experience with Karl Hansen at OU Physicians Reproductive Health?
Dr Hansen was a phenomenal doctor. I found him to be very good at what he does, as well a very kind person. I would recommend him to anyone needing RE services in a heartbeat. He listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions to my satisfaction, was not hurried during appointments, and clearly explained what he would be doing in any procedures.

Dr Karl Hansen’s bedside manner was exemplary. He was warm, genuine, and extremely approachable.
Describe the protocols Karl Hansen used in your cycles at OU Physicians Reproductive Health and their degree of success.
I used drugs including Clomid and progesterone shots to prepare for the IUI cycle. I completed one IUI cycle with Dr Hansen, which was unsuccessful, and also did a HSG scan prior to this. I took a one month break before the next IUI and during that time became pregnant with no assistance. I am now 27 weeks pregnant. Dr Hansen was very happy for us! One previous OB mentioned that he had noticed an apparent correlation between patients who had the HSG procedure and subsequently fell naturally pregnant the following month or two. This happened in our case, so we will wonder if maybe it made a difference for us. This other OB theorized that perhaps the HSG dye clbeing flushed through the tubes cleared away congestion in the tubes to increase the likelihood of fertilization.

I'm still early on in treatment, but so far I have loved everything about my interactions with Dr Hansen. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He gives a lot of information when you ask for it. I have a very clear picture of my treatment moving forward.... He did say he recommended IUI first as a general practice, but he did not require it. Because I do not like the low success rate of IUI and my insurance allows me to skip to IVF, he was willing to do that.
The clinic [OU Physicians Reproductive Health] seems well organized and I have not had any issues with them to date. Everyone is compassionate and has been fairly easy to work with so far. There was a little confusion about insurance billing my first appointment, but it seems to have been worked out pretty quickly.... My insurance does cover some of my treatment. The clinic requires a $1000 deposit before getting on the IVF schedule.

I was extremely impressed with Dr.Hansen. The appointment did not feel rushed and he answered all my questions, educated me on lab results and discussed next steps. He was sensitive to our journey and performed only necessary tests. He was honest but still had a caring way of delivering information.... Mr.Hansen provided my husband and I with all of our options. He listened to our concerns and educated us on areas we had questions in.
Wait time [at OU Physicians Reproductive Health] has never been longer than 15 minutes and I like that the location of the office is secluded in the office building. They have their own lab but also let you work with one you prefer using. Every staff member is friendly and helpful. I have not had a negative experience here yet!... Karen is an amazing nurse. She communicates with me in a timely manner and is always quick to return phone calls.

Dr. Hansen was very knowledgable and explained the potential treatment options. Overall, I was satisfied with Dr. Hansen's care. However, on one occasion, I did feel that he could have been more compassionate when discussing the possibility that we could suffer a miscarriage...The nursing staff was excellent. A nurse did my IUI and did an excellent job.
Overall, our experience with the clinic [OU Physicians Reproductive Health] was great. Our insurance did not cover the actual IUI, which was ok. I believe it cost $400. However, we did have several issues getting a few ultrasounds covered after the fact and it took almost a year of talking with the billing department and my insurance to get it corrected...Dr. Hansen was very knowledgable and explained the potential treatment options.

After trying to conceive for over 2 years and 2 miscarriages my obgyn sent me to Dr. Hansen. He monitored me as my levels returned to normal after my second miscarriage. Then he ran several tests and performed cleaned out my tubes with a saline wash. He found "unexplained infertility". He said I had a good chance of getting pregnant through IUI and Clomid. He was correct! He monitored me biweekly, then weekly until I was 11weeks. Now baby girl is healthy and well.
The receptionist [at OU Physicians Reproductive Health] was so friendly at every visit. It was nice to see a smiling face when you are nervous. I remember being greeted by the nurses. The staff always seemed to remember me and ask about specific things going on in my life...After trying to conceive for over 2 years and 2 miscarriages my obgyn sent me to Dr. Hansen.
