Matthew Peterson

He is very knowledgeable as a doctor and I trust him with my infertility problems. However, I don’t think he specifically knows me and I feel a bit like a number. He is very smart and I believe though him I will be able to get pregnant and that is the most import to me.

If you want a loving doctor that is there for you to spill your heart to, this isn’t your guy. If you want someone that is smart and you feel can get you pregnant and are confident in him then this is a great candidate.

I have yet to get pregnant with him. I am still a patient of his so this isn’t for me specifically. I am doing IVF with ICSI. we also did a sperm biopsy. We will also be doing PGC testing.

He has a lot of experience and knowledge he was very open with me about his opinions. I felt like he was very trustworthy and optimistic. Overall I have appreciated his communication and concern which has been improved over prior doctors. All of my procedures have gone fairly smoothly with very little pain or side effects.

Be patient. He will want to try multiple things even if you transfer from another clinic, but if you are blunt and tell him what you want and think he will often be willing to compromise.

With IUI we tried the same medicines I had with prior ones, letrozole, and then ultrasounds to monitor growth near ovulation. UCRM also does sperm washing. The first attempt I only had one follicle and it showed early in my cycle so we did times intercourse. Attempt number two with meds I had three and we did and IUI but doctor Peterson was not the doctor on call that day. With my In Vitro we did egg retrieval and a freeze all cycle. We just barely transferred our first frozen embryo and are awaiting results.

The initial consultation fee was 205.00. During the IUI process they would bill for each ultrasound, 230.00 then it was another 140.00 for the actual insemination the day of the procedure. They billed me again to consult with my doctor about IVF specifically but charged us 151.00. We paid 510 for the a Sonohysterogram. Then it was 9300 for egg retrieval (prescription were paid separately bought directly from the pharmacy). Then our FET was an additional 2700.

My doctor is very against transferring more than one embryo due to the risk of multiples in pregnancy. Due to my age and first time with In Vitro he would not budge on this issue.

He had great bedside manner even when I was super nervous. He was very kind and gentle. He understood the risks of 2 embryos and explained why. There was nothing he was hiding and was very straightforward of what we were going to experience.

Allow him to get to know you. Be open with him about your medical history.

Doctor Peterson first did a consultation with me. Then I went in for a saline ultrasound to make sure everything looked good. He told me to take ibuprofen to help with cramps on my period and knew that we were waiting for the sperm retrieval. He explained to me the different scenerios about the sperm retrieval and suggested that we do genetic testing for my deafness and asked if that was something we wanted to pass down to our children.

The costs with Doc Matthew Peterson was about 500-2500 with the consultation and saline ultrasound. He also mentioned that the IVF cost was going to be 14000. And that it would need to be paid in full before starting. He understood that we were still waiting for the sperm retrieval. He shares a lab with doctor Hotaling.

He wants to do a single embryo transfer because of my husbands medical situation from when he was born with bladder extrophy. He said twins may increase the chance of extrophy of an organ since it's a genetic thing.

He is the best doctor I’ve ever been to! He is very knowledgeable when it comes to infertility and I was confident that If anyone could help us get our children here, it would be him. He also has great bedside manner and is very open and honest about why he thinks you should or shouldn’t try certain treatments.

Book the appointment as soon as you can! Because he’s amazing!

We did IUI a few times basically because it’s low cost and worth trying. When that didn’t work, we ended up going with an egg donor and IVF. We were pregnant the first time on both IVF cycles and both resulted in a live birth.

Fertility is very expensive. Our first IVF cycle with the donor eggs was about 33k. Plus about 500 every time we did IUI prior to that.

I was happy that he recommended only implanting one egg. Since the embryo quality was so high using a donor egg, our chances were very good to conceive and there can be a lot of complications with multiples.

he is the nicest guy ever! He pays close attention to you and he makes sure you know you know what options you have and goes with what your most comfortable with. he responds right away or his staff. He never makes you feel awkward and he always tries his hardest and gives his opinion and still lets you decide! He always is kind and NEVER rushes you. I honestly can't say enough good things about him! Everyone who goes to him loves him!!

Don't wait get in now! he is pretty booked but once your in his care he never lets you get forgotten! take your questions and concerns he will listen!

when I first went he put me on metformin and gave me advice on how to take it without bad side effects, then I came back and he started me on chlomid as well as letrozle, and we did quite a few of that rounds then I went crazy on the clhomid and he even agreed not the best choice if we weren't getting our best results so he switched it up and made sure I knew all the risk of the gonal f injections as well as the price. he let me know that IUI is better than timed intercourse at this stage and now we just did the first round of gonal F

He finds way to see if your insurance can cover some like utlrasounds, medicine is anywhere from 12-400 and the iui are 360

He’s incredibly intelligent and very well educated in his field. His been the chief of OBGYN services and definitely knows his stuff. I feel nothing but confidence in him. When I first met him he diagnosed me immediately just by getting my history (wow how many doctors missed that? Later confirmed by bloodwork of course) he’s just an all around good person and fantastic physician.

Sometimes you have to wait. But I promise if you’re patient, it’s worth it. One time he felt so bad about our wait that he offered to take my husband’s stitches out so we didn’t have to drive 20 minutes to go get it done. Anyway, my advice? Wait. And if you can get an earlier appointment, you’ll wait less hahaha but again it’s worth it because he takes his time with you!

Letrozole instead of clomid (I have pcos and clomid will likely create more cysts than good follicles) Hcg trigger shot to have more control over when I ovulate to plan IUI accordingly. Then progesterone starting the day after IUI to thicken lining and promote implantation and prevent miscarriage.

140 for my monthly trigger shot and 360 for each IUI. Plus 30 for my compounded progesterone (monthly)

Not there yet. Meeting with him next month to discuss our next step since the last 3 IUI’s didn’t work.

The only weakness we have is that he is 400 miles away from us. He does come to a Satelite location in st George monthly but a lot of our tests or ultrasounds have to be done with our primary OBGYN. He gave us his cell phone number and calls to make sure we know our plans because we have to travel so far. He also personally called us after we miscarried.

Come with questions! He’s an open book!

I had had a child previously and so we were seeing him for MFI. We had met with his partner, Dr. Hotaling who helped us get my husbands sperm via biopsy and now IVF is our only option with frozen sperm. We then did a “normal” cycle with gonal f, cetrotide and menopur. All was the lowest dose and we ended up with three embryos. We implanted one and it never took. We then did a frozen cycle with our last two embryos and one took and one did not. The one grew until 6 weeks 9 days and we miscarried at 8 weeks 4 days. We have just retrieved again and have 5 frozen embryos! We are so excited for April to come our way so we can implant two more embryos! ❤️

The fresh cycle and retrieval was $10,150. Frozen cycles are $2,750

Our first cycle we did one embryo and then we did two the second time, and we got pregnant with the second cycle with one.

I didn’t feel like he addressed my specific issues. There wasn’t much testing done to diagnose anything. He did sit down make sure to answer all questions, if you actually got him in person. He is also a very conservative Dr. and didn’t want to too many eggs for IUI.

You need to learn early how to work the system to be able to communicate with him, which is through his nurse. His focus is on getting you pregnant, not figuring out why you are not.

On my first IUI I was successful with 2.5 mg letrozole ( 2 eggs)On IUI number two I miscarried after 2.5 mg letrozole ( 2 eggs). Trigger shot ( Ovidrel) was used in both of these about 34-36 hours prior to IUI. Then I had a D&C.I was unsuccessful on IUI’s 3-4 ( 2.5 mg letrozole/trigger), had an SIS done. Dr. P changed my protocol after #4 to add gonal F injections along with letrozole 2.5. I was unsuccessful with IUI #5 with the new protocol and am currently miscarrying after IUI #6 with same protocol. He wanted to keep trying IUIs because I was able to have my son with IUI #1 and could technically get pregnant with IUI #2.

Out of pocket IUIs $370 each Letrozole and Ovidrel trigger shots ( $150+) gonal f=75/ shot, ultrasounds $200 after insurance, SIS $ ??

We did not have a positive outcome, which I'm sure colors my perspective. Unfortunately, all of our embryos died before an IVF transfer, which was devastating. We were not prepared at all for that possibility. Dr. Peterson was very compassionate and kind. However, he immediately encouraged us to do another round with more aggressive treatments and hormonal protocol. Even that more aggressive round resulted in the same outcome: no transfer, and a group of arrested embryos. I wish that Dr. Peterson had taken some time with us to regroup and really understand why the embryos died in the first place. We had to push him to do some additional testing on my husband (after the second failed round), which ultimately revealed a potential cause. We wished we had done that testing earlier, as it might have changed the course of our treatment and/or our outcome.

Do not feel pressured into IVF. Fertility clinics treat it like it is the answer for all couples (because it has a higher success rate than other non-third-party treatments overall), but it may or may not be the right choice for every circumstance. Go slow, ask questions, do your research.

My first protocol was fairly standard: gonal-f, menopur, and hCG for trigger. My second protocol was more aggressive: higher doses of the above, a slew of supplements, and human growth hormone.

IVF round was about $9,000, I believe, with drugs an additional $5-$7k. IUIs were $600 each.

Dr. Peterson has a strong bias toward single embryos transfer, assuming it's a healthy, viable embryo.

Dr. Peterson is really smart, and I trust him to know the appropriate treatment for me. He is always very patient in answering my many questions, and always presents the information in a way I can understand. I like that he doesn't sugarcoat things, but also presents I options in a hopeful manner. His drawbacks include working on a kind of macro level- he doesn't seem interested in helping me optimize my health to increase chances of conception...he told me once that rates don't change much by chasing down every little problem. He hasn't done any labs on me since my first consultation (with another Dr. 2 years prior to my visit with him). I also feel that I he has somewhat neglected my husband throughout this process, despite pretty serious MFI. We lost a few months due to not knowing what was going on.

Advocate for yourself. Make sure he's looking at all the results, and doing the tests you need.

I started on metformin 1500mg for 3 months, while my husband started on clomid 50mg for 3 months. Did an SIS to endure everything was good anatomically. Then I started letrozole 5 mg, which I didn't respond to. Used Provera to induce a period, then did 7.5 mg letrozole. Didn't respond. That same day, started 50 mg clomid plus 7.5 letrozole. No response by day 13. Started 5 mg letrozole and 100 mg clomid. No response. Told then I could move to injectibles, or lose weight. Chose to lose weight. After 4 months, I responded to 5 mg letrozole. Tried 3 natural cycles with the letrozole. Then moved to IUI. First was 5 mg letrozole and trigger with ovidrel. No success. Next three IUIs were 7.5 mg letrozole (to try and ovulate earlier than day 19) and ovidrel trigger. CP on second IUI, and then 2 failures. After 4th fail, recommended to do IVF with ICSI.

I believe the initial consultation was around $200. Each ultrasound was around $350. IUIs are $370 total. My copay for each Dr. Visit was $25. I pay about $20 for a 3 month supply of letrozole, $10 for metformin, and $18 per syringe of ovidrel.

Dr. Peterson is not only a great doctor and highly professional and qualified in his line of work but also a great human being. He has so much compassion and understanding for every patient. He keeps you feeling motivated and hopeful even when things go unexpected!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even after the appointment.

We started with Femara(7.5) and timed intercourse after being diagnosed with PCOS. We then moved onto a high dose and eventually added in 75u of Gonal F until a follicle developed large enough for ovulation. I then triggered and we either did timed intercourse or IUI. We have been doing this for al cycles. The Femara gets my follicles to produce a dominate one and the gonal f for a few days finishes maturing it.

We spent about $5000 per pregnancy. Our cost is about $500-$1200 a cycle.

I honestly loved Dr. Petersen and my experience with him. He has good bedside manner but also is direct about the risks you face and the steps that need to be taken. I always felt like i could trust him and the treatment plan he recommended. My only complaint would be that i saw him for the first few months and now i don't really see him at all. I see mostly the nurses or clinic staff but i understand thats is probably common with this field of work.

Just to trust him and try to have faith in the process. Also, to make sure to ask as many questions as you want! Sometimes the treatment plan can be lengthy and detailed and i always felt a little overwhelmed. Demand the time you need to ask questions and go over everything slowly.

The first few cycles i went on letrozole (an alternative to Clomid) , triggered ovulation with ovidrell and did timed intercourse. That was not successful so we wanted to attempt IUI. However, due to my particular anomaly, i cannot have twins. Therefore, if there were multiple follicles present, the risk for twins being higher, we were recommended to cancel that cycle (which we did). We reduced my letrozol dosage to try to get just one follicle and have been able to complete IUI Since (1 failed attempt) Im currently in the waiting period of my 2nd attempt. If not successful, we will attempt IUI one more time before possibly discussing Invitro

i have insurance that is copay of $80 per visit due to seeing a specialist. The medications were usually around $150 per cycle and IUI was around $400 each cycle

Dr. Peterson is very personable and makes me feel like the current round of IVF, whither it be the 3rd or 4th, matters. Like it's the biggest thing happening in my world- because it is. He is very professional and careful to explain every move he makes when doing vaginal ultrasounds, which I appreciate because lets face it... they are awful. My husband and I have never felt uncomfortable or iffy around him. I have never felt like I was left in the dark about my care plan. He always make sure I know and understand out next steps. What sincerely impressed me- After I had my daughter, about 6 months postpartum (our only live baby from IVF) I had some uncontrollable bleeding. I went to the ER and they ran tests and wanted me to have a D&C. Because we have moved to a different state and my infertility history, I was nervous about my care plan. I called my Infertility office, The U of U, to ask the nurses what they thought about having the D&C because of the scaring that can occur with it. Instead of hearing back from the nurses, Dr. Peterson, himself called me on the phone. He requested my full ER workup papers and test results. He looked over them and he told me how to handle it moving forward. That instance spoke volumes to the kind of doctor he is and the pride he takes in patient care and his work. I would definitely recommend him to the people closest to me without hesitation.

Always go in to see him with questions and be clear about your expectations for him.

At the time of our egg retrieval I was under the care of a different doctor at the University of Utah. I hyperstimulatied really bad and was unable to do a fresh transfer. My doctor took my case to the team and from there on all 5 or so doctors knew about my history and made decisions on my case together. When I began seeing Dr. Peterson he already knew about my history. He had done his "homework" on me so I didn't have to give him the rundown of my medical history of the last 15 years. I was so thankful for that. He did not change up protocol on my FET that he preformed, however, the one he did was the one that we got a live baby out of. I do feel like he watched me closer and I had more frequent appointments and ultrasounds with him because of my history of miscarriage.

There are different plans you can choose from. I don't remember the cost of the egg retrieval. We paid a little more because we needed ICSI. An FET is right around $2700. They are very up front with their cost breakdown. In the 4.5 years we have been going there we have never had any shady billing situation come up. What has been quoted is exactly what we have paid. Prices have never been changed or raised.

Dr. Peterson presented us with the facts and percentage rates in regards to a single and double embryo transfers. He informed us of the complications and risks that can come with multiple embryo transfer. He never tried to sway us one way or another. He just gave us the facts and let us decide.

I think Dr. Peterson is a very good communicator. He doesn’t mix words which I like and gives you the facts straight. He has an excellent staff and isn’t willing to move onto the next step unless he feels that it is the optimal setting for you to get the best result. I am someone who wants to just go, go and he is there to remind me that we need to do what is best for me and for my potential baby. The only one criticism I can really give is that he is a very busy doctor. Since he is very popular, he has to balance many patients so it might just take a little extra time to get back to you (not during clinic time), but I’ve always felt it was worth the wait.

Be willingly to be flexible on your treatment plan. As he really doesn’t want to rush anything for the sake of rushing-and wants the best outcome for you, plans might be changed and just be ready for that.

The first protocol used was getting my vitamin regiment-using prenatals, pregnitude, and COQ10. Prenatals and pregnitude for embryo health and COQ10 for quality and strength. then preparing a plan for my retrieval. He prescribed gonal, menopur, saizen, cetrotide, and my trigger shot. They were for growth of my follicles and trigger for ovulation. The results were as expected. Nothing too unusual.

Dr Peterson did everything he could to help us. He gave us options and he his Advice. I never felt like a number and felt like he really cared. I also felt like he really knew his stuff. He even told us where to get cheaper prescriptions. I felt like he was trying to help us any way he could by giving us all the info so we can make the best decisions

To make sure you tell him everything you want and be clear and he will do all he can to help you.

He put me on femora for IUI’s. He said there were less side effects he listed all the risks but I don’t really remember what they were any more. He gave me a detailed plan with trigger shots. We did four IUI’s. He also did another saline test because I was concerned about my Fallopian tubes. I had an HCG test a while back with a different doctor and they said one tube had pooling. Dr Peterson said my ultra sounds all looked good and that he could do the saline test just to be sure. The test suggested my tubes looked normal.

400 for IUI’s. My insurance covered a lot of the medication and he gave us tips on where to buy them cheaper.

I felt like Dr. Peterson is well qualified. He's got all the bells and whistles to to speak, but his bed side manner was lacking. When I'd go in for appointments alone, he was always very flat. When my husband would come with me, he was much more warm. I didn't get that. The had a situation and needed to be seen quickly, the physician began the pelvic exam without another assistant in the room. He was in such a rush he gave me a paper and pen to write down measurements for my own exam. I don't know how this in any capacity is appropriate. The MA came in shortly after beginning the exam. But I didn't like his manner or lack of professionalism. I transferred care shortly after that experience. I have other friends who rave about him. But he was a disappointment.

Go with your gut. If a doctor doesn't feel right, keep hunting

metformin letrozole TIC HSG I never followed his advice, I found a new doctor

Dr. Peterson has a very kind face that makes it easy to trust him. He is very knowledgeable, comes with lots of experience, and is great at explaining what he is talking about. He is willing to listen to you and think outside the box. However, he can be very blunt and straight forward some times when you are in a fragile state this can be hard to hear but looking back on the information he is blunt about you can see why he may have those concerns.

Always go with your question ready and written down. Be prepare to wait for an appointment and once you are there for your appointment be prepared to wait in the waiting room even past your scheduled time.

After meeting with Dr. Peterson he had a few additional test he wanted to run as they had not been done with previous providers in hopes to find some additional insight to our case and lack of success. Once all the testing came back he wanted to see for himself how my body reacted to specific fertility meds so we did medication and inject round without insemination. We did this and had a negative results. After that he wanted to try an IUI round before considering IVF even though we had 6 failed IUI's and 2 failed rounds of IVF. His reason was at the University of Utah they did things a little different for their IUI's then other clinics in the state. We agreed to try when we went to our ultrasound to see how the follicles were doing he noticed that I had 3 follicles that had matured. He was concerned about more than one of these taking he and explained the risk to us with great detail. We chose to trigger those follicles and we did the IUI the results of those 3 matured follicles resulted in a negative pregnancy test. We have met with him regarding IVF but have not moved forward at this time.

IUI was unbelievable lower than I had every paid before it cost only $400 for the insemination and sperm prep. Medication seem normal and other cost I don't remember as well.

Dr. Peterson has decades of experience and success. He is as warm, kind and empathetic as he is knowledgeable. He made special efforts to check in with me and my husband, individually- to see how we are doing. He knows the importance and sacrifice couples make to have their children, and is so sensitive to that fact. I have never felt like a "number/patient" always a friend. He is a kind and Christlike man, who will be your greatest ally through your infertility journey.

He is wonderful. Ask as many questions as you want/need. He will answer them, and re-answer them. He knows how overwhelming this process can be

Ever since the beginning, we have yet to find a "problem" with me or my husband. Not for a lake of testing Given the fact that we are both healthy, with what we can foresee, no issues... Dr. Petterson started me on a birth control, to regulate my cycle. Once it came time I started Gonal-F and menopur. We chose to do a frozen cycle, once time came to implant our frozen embryo, we then began progesterone shots. Dr. Peterson chose a normal dose and schedule for what my "case" was. His approach is, not to throw anything and everything, with hopes of a positive result. He, along with the board of Dr's in the clinic, study my case and decide what route is best.

14k-18k

Dr. Petterson believes the most important thing, is a positive, successful pregnancy. For the baby and mother. He always recommends one embryo transfer at a time, and shows data and fact in the differences with single and multiple pregnancies. Risk Factor. However, he knows this is a personal decision, and allows his patients to make the decision based on one embryo or two. He wants you to know all the facts, so you can make the best decision.

He is very intelligent, and has a fair/good bedside manner. Unfortunately, he wasn't involved enough in my monitoring (compared to previous IVF doc); techs & nurses did everything after the initial consultation until the retrieval. I was disappointed, and didn't FEEL like he was involved enough (although he said he reviewed every lab & Ultrasound). In fairness, at the completion of the failed IVF Cycle I told him how I felt, and he said he could be more involved in future cycles. One final dissatisfaction: he says things about financial matters and then the clinic business office contradicts him. Very frustrating.

Tell him that you want HIM to do your monitoring ultrasounds himself...not the techs.

Supplements: Pregnitude, L-Arginine, Baby Aspirin, DHEA, COENZYME Q 10, Melatonin, Serovital. Meds: Clomid, Cetrotide, Menopur, Gonal F, and Pregnyl trigger.

Roughly $19,000 -20,000 for IVF cycle (egg retrieval), meds, and genetic screen. Another $4-500 for FET & meds.

The one thing I don’t love about going to Dr. Peterson is that they work as a team of doctors so it isn’t always the easiest to see him. We want him to do our frozen transfer this next time and will have to wait four months for him to do it. It also took us four months to get in for a consultation. So, it going to take us eight months from when we first reached out to the doctors office. They are really really busy there, but it is worth it to wait for us because we want to be working with him. We like him and feel most comfortable with him.

He can be kind of blunt and to the point, which is something my husband and I like about him, but he can also be very compassionate and warm. So, if you don’t want some bluntness, and only want warm fuzzies, maybe he isn’t the doctor for you. You also need to be willing to wait a little longer for treatments or be willing to see another doctor on the team.

I did 2 retrievals and 3 transfers and that was a couple of years ago so I honestly couldn’t tell you specifics, especially since 1 was a frozen transfer so the protocol was different. I took Menopur, Gonal-F, and Cetrotide. The upped all of these and added HGH on my second retrieval. I also did the progesterone each time. I also get on a birth control for the month before injections each time.

It was about $15,000 with meds for our first round. It was about $20,000 with meds for our second. That was a 3 cycle guarantee one so we just paid for meds for our third. We are going to do another frozen transfer and that will be around $4,000 with meds.

We never got the results we wanted from seeing Doctor Peterson, never had a healthy pregnancy or delivered a baby. However we had a very positive and encouraging experience. He was kind and caring. He went out of his way to do all he could for us.

If you don’t understand what he is explaining to you, just ask and he’ll find a way to make sure you understand. He is brilliant and knows so much that I had to remind him that I didn’t always know the basics. We loved working with him.

We did our first round of IVF with a pretty standard protocol because all testing results pointing to that. I hyper stimulated and had to have a freeze all cycle at the last minute. He was fabulous about my after care. We then did a frozen transfer of 2 embryos which yielded what appeared to be a twin pregnancy. It ended with a miscarriage which again, he handled our aftercare greatly and encouraged us to do another round. We did another fresh cycle, antagonist cycle with HGH. It looked to work well and we transferred an embryo that looked like it should work. Unfortunately it did not.

We spent (including medications) between $12,000-$16,000 for each round of IVF. It was around $3,000 for the frozen cycle. We wanted to do a cycle guarantee but were denied.

He seemed to prefer single embryo transfers but gave us all the information we needed to make a proper decision. He supported us when we chose to transfer 2 embryos, and I know he would not have let us make a decision that was not healthy. I knew he’d make sure we couldn’t make a bad decision.

He is smart and thorough. He is not warm fuzzy and talks a lot about statistics and "take home baby rate". I appreciate direct numbers and statistics, but I often felt like we weren't talking about something that was real for us and trying to produce an actual baby for us. On the other hand we had 3 unsuccessful IVF attempts before the 4th one worked. On a couple of the unsuccessful ones, he personally called us and expressed his sympathy. In that case he was very warm and loving. I would trust him and go to him again, but he is very statistic oriented.

Don't expect to have a warm experience but expect a good experience

This was 10 year ago, so I know things have changed since then. They were not big on forcing the blastocyst then and so I think we transferred our embryos earlier that we could have.

I don't remember the details (we have done IVF 6 times)... $10,00-15,000.

He is very big on transferring as few embryos as you are comfortable with. He is not big on multiples.

He is very personal, & has a good bedside manner. He knows what he is doing & I trust him. I started under his care & was put on rotations but because of him I now have 7 children. He is an excellent doctor & I would recommend him to anyone. I have recommended him to several people who have gone through this same struggle as I have & have felt like they didn’t know where to go. Matthew is the answer & the right doctor for anyone. He is the best & I'm so grateful for him.

Trust his decisions & respect what he is doing. He knows what is best for you.

(This was a long time ago)I used lupron, shots under my belly button, follistim, shots around my belly button, & then the “peanut butter” shot in the muscle part of my bottom (HCG?) pregnancy with 4 fresh cycles, one frozen cycle did not work

I don’t remember each component. I just know that it’s expensive & it’s worth it & I would do it all over again!

Matthew felt that I needed to transfer 3 embryos my first try because my chances of getting pregnant were very low. Even after the embryos took my percentages were low resulting in a miscarriage but later found out I was actually pregnant with twins!

I loved Dr. Peterson. He was kind and I felt like he treated me the way he would treat one of his own family. My husband and I always felt welcome and never felt uncomfortable. He was the great balance of professional and personable.

He is like your dad. He will take care of you and treat you with respect and kindness. This is a hard thing to go through.

hahah it was all expensive. But when we started nothing was covered by insurance. Now every now and then we get something covered. It is all still very expensive

He is more worried about my safety and the baby than about anything else
