During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kevin Doody at CARE Fertility Texas?
Initial meeting with Dr. Doody he sat and talked to me as a person and didn't look at my previous records just had a conversation. After speaking to him and going through some of the history, laid out my options, and discussed the pros and cons of each. With each option he was patient and thorough explaining why he believed they would work or not work and basically said I needed to think about what I wanted right now and how long was I willing to wait for it.
Describe the protocols Kevin Doody used in your cycles at CARE Fertility Texas and their degree of success.
Used Follistim and Lupron for stimulation for egg retrieval. I was at risk for Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (high AMH) so we went ahead with a freeze all protocol. First embryo transfer was a 3AA (excellent) graded embryo and we used Lupron and Progesterone in Oil Injections with Estrace pills. Second embryo transfer of a 4BB embryo we utilized Estrace pills and PRogesterone in OIl injections. Find out results 10/9/19. No time to emotionally deal before going back to work the next day (teacher) but feeling uterine cramps trying not to be discouraged.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at CARE Fertility Texas.
Appointments were on time. I was asked repeatedly asked if I was comfortable and if there was anything else I needed. They would walk me through what I was about to undergo with the same thoroughness if it was a routine sonogram or the extensive egg retrieval. Calling me to tell me that the BETA came back negative she sounded crushed for us on the phone and I got the results maybe an hour after I left the clinic.

Describe Kevin Doody's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CARE Fertility Texas.
I know that because of my age and the age I was at retrieval he recommended one embryo. I believe he would only transfer more than one if the mothers age dictates more than one.
