Dr. Dayal always greeted me by name. She would ask questions that were more than just a "how are you doing?" nature to really get to know you...has always been very straight forward with us. She tells us what treatment options are best for our situation. When a cycle failed, she changed things up so things looked different the next time. She genuinely cares about me as a patient and always weighs the risks and benefits of each treatment option.

How was your experience with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Dr. Dayal has always been very straight forward with us. She tells us what treatment options are best for our situation. When a cycle failed, she changed things up so things looked different the next time. She genuinely cares about me as a patient and always weighs the risks and benefits of each treatment option.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Be prepared to never want to see another doctor again! Dr. Dayal will warm your heart and give you confidence that you'll walk out of that office pregnant.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Dr. Dayal always greeted me by name. She would ask questions that were more than just a "how are you doing?" nature to really get to know you.
Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
We attempted a timed intercourse cycle with a low dosage of stimulation drugs. I have a high number of eggs so she wanted to start with a low dose so as not to overstimulate me. That cycle was unsuccessful, but it did give Dr. Dayal an idea on how my body would react to a full stim IVF cycle. We moved straight forward with IVF, choosing the skip IUI as the issue was annovulation, not a sperm issue. She monitored me very closely as I did produce a very high quantity of eggs. Due to the large number of eggs we had to freeze all of our embryos and do a frozen cycle. Our first frozen cycle failed. After that cycle Dr. Dayal added on a bag of intralipids and had us do an ERA to determine our optimum window for implantation. Our second cycle also failed, and I will be speaking with Dr. Dayal tomorrow on what we can change for our next cycle to try to be successful.
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Amy Albertson)
The nursing team work together to make sure your needs are met. You are assigned a specific nurse, and she is the one who makes your schedule and fields the majority of your questions. But almost every nurse there knows me by name and can answer any question I have regarding my treatment if my nurse is not available.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
This clinic has some of the best doctors around. It is newly renovated and easy to find. They just added a third doctor to their practice. At this time they do batched IVF cycles, which is both good and bad. I'd love to see them stop that and do the IVF based on where their patient is in their cycle.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
I do not remember the costs. I know that my insurance did cover 85% of the total costs of treatment.
Describe Molina Dayal's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
Dr. Dayal did recommend only transferring one embryo because of my younger age. She told us that transferring two embryos doesn't really increase your chance of getting pregnant, just your chance of having multiples.

The thing I love the most about working with Dr. Dayal is I feel like we're part of a team. I can always ask her questions, mention concerns, and we work on a plan together. I never feel rushed with her in my appointments, even when I have a ton of questions. With both of my losses Dr. Dayal was incredibly compassionate and when I was ready mentioned procedures/tests we might consider to get to the bottom of the issue.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Ask all the questions you have. It isn't a reflection on Dr. Dayal or her staff because they are great with communication, more being your own advocate and not being afraid to ask any and all questions.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
The entire staff at SIRM is incredible and they always know exactly who I am, the laugh with me, joke with me; which makes the overall experience much more positive. Dr. Dayal is highly involved in my care and I see her every appointment I have which I really appreciate.
Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
The first IVF cycle I did with Dr. Dayal was canceled. We had agreed to do a low dosage protocol and my follicles simply stopped growing at the mid-way point. Dr. Dayal suggested a low dose protocol because she was worried about hyper-stimulation due to my PCOS. We tried to work with the cycle but it just wasn't working so we wound up canceling it.
Our second IVF we did complete and did a freeze all instead of doing a fresh transfer. We used a "middle of the road" dose protocol and it worked perfectly. She was still worried about hyper-stimulation and warned me if this occurred we would have to do a freeze all. While I didn't hyper-stimulate I did have a rough recovery with egg retrieval due to past abdominal surgeries, completed unrelated to Dr. Dayal, and we wound up having to do a freeze all anyway.
With each of our 3 frozen embryo transfers (FETs) we used the same protocol because even though the first one was unsuccessful with a negative beta, my body responded exactly as wanted to the medication protocol. My 2nd and 3rd FETs resulted in positive betas but ended in miscarriage, both at 5 weeks 1 day. After learning this Dr. Dayal highly recommended doing an ERA test to make sure we were transferring on the right day.
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Amanda Tayon)
Nurse Tayon is great to work with. I definitely feel comfortable asking her any questions I have and she is always quick to respond. When she went on maternity leave Merry Kay took over as my nurse and she was equally as great. I feel like I always get the information I need. If I have concerns or inquiries about our cycle she is always willing to listen and ask Dr. Dayal if needed.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
Overall the clinic is great. The best care I have ever received. When we first started their financial adviser for patients was hard to get a hold of and seemed very unorganized but she is no longer at the clinic. Everyone is so friendly, accommodating, and I love that I never feel rushed.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
I don't specifically remember costs because my Husband and I are very lucky to have health insurance that helps with infertility treatments. However, they do use an anesthesiologist who does not accept insurance and their cash/check payment cost is $500 which is due at time of service.

Dr. Dayal is very warm and compassionate. She remembers details about you when you visit (both medical and personal). While we were seeking a second opinion before doing IVF she called to get a check-up on our progress. Although she will give her medical opinion and guidance, she is 100% supportive of OUR decisions through the process. She treats us as intellectuals and explains ideas that need elaboration, but doesn't overexplain ideas that we've "got." She has never once rushed an appointment with us. She has made it clear that us having a successful pregnancy is her priority.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Is it possible for a doctor to be too kind? I am struggling to come up with anything except that maybe at times I wish she was a little more forceful with her advice (ok, not really). But we may have made some different decisions to move quicker if she had guided us to. So have an idea of what your goals are when meeting with her.

We've only met with Amy once so far (just starting out) but she seems kind, competent, and organized. I am relieved that she is our nurse.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
My experiences with the clinic have been the only thing that has not been great about the process. Everyone is VERY warm and friendly, and a lot of the staff gets to know you personally, but they honestly can be a bit disorganized at times. Nothing major so far, but things like calling to cancel/reschedule an appointment and it not getting noted. Sometimes I feel like I am responsible for reminding them of details that I think the should have recorded. Like I said, not horrible! But there have been a few moments.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
If I remember correctly, IUIs were somewhere around $1,000 a piece (roughly), and we've been quoted about $10,000 for the first round of egg retrieval, $5,000 if we have to do a second round, $3,000-6,000 for meds (ours is $4,250), $450 for anesthetic, and approximately $5,000 for transfers.
Describe Molina Dayal's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
We have not yet gone through the process of IVF, but in our preliminary discussions, she has mentioned the odds of success for single vs. multiple and does seem to have a medical bias towards single. It seems like she would allow us to do two if we chose two, but she is definitely recommending one (which we will likely follow!)

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Take each step of the fertility treatment one step at a time. I found it worked best for us by taking each hurdle of this process one at a time versus having everything thrown at you at once. Dr. Dayal always did this for us.

Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
We did interlipid treatments before each transfer. When we had two miscarriages we added longer Interlipid treatments and more meds to ensure a positive test.
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: MaryKay)
Fantastic!! They never sugar coated which I greatly appreciated. I am a "give it to me straight" and they always did this. I formed relationships with all of the staff and I would get excited to see them during my appointments.
I coined MaryKay "my woobie" she was my security blanket and she always made me feel calm and relaxed.
Also Jamie was fantastic to my husband and I. She gave me her cell number because I was such a worry wart and would let me text her whenever.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
My biggest complaint would be that it was bought out by Intermed and was ran a little more aggressively when it came to money.
This was not anyone at the clinics fault and you would never know they were switched to a more corporate type place.

She [Dr. Dayal] is very honest about each situation and about your progress...Upon seeing Dr. Dayal, I had blood work done and ultrasounds that determined that I needed a surgery to remove the build up of the lining of my uterus that when tested was cancerous and pre cancerous. The blood work also concluded that I do not produce some of the chemicals that are required to ovulate or to shed the lining of my uterus and fertility medications were not resulting in ovulation. Given all of the results and the results from the previous Dr. it was deemed that IVF would be the best course of treatment. She said that trying any other course of action would be just a waste of time and money because she didn't see a high chance of these courses having any results. Currently we are waiting and trying to save up money for IVF.

How was your experience with Molina Dayal at Sher Fertility of Las Vegas?
We are still waiting to save money for IVF so we are currently at a standstill. She has been very upfront and honest through the process so far. She has informed us of the best treatment and has not pushed us to try routes that she has thought to be a waste of both time and money since there would be no real chance of seeing results. She has first taken care of me and my overall health so that I am in the best possible position to get the best outcome.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at Sher Fertility of Las Vegas?
Do not go into this thinking that IFV is a last resort or that it is a terrible outcome. Know that it is a process and she will work with you and coming up with the best course of action.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Molina Dayal at Sher Fertility of Las Vegas?
She has been very patient with your health as the top priority. She is very honest about each situation and about your progress.
Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at Sher Fertility of Las Vegas and their degree of success.
I went through many tests and a surgery. I had previously done rounds of Clovis with no results. I had an previous procedure before coming to see Dr. Dayal where they did a minor surgery to look at my uterus. It was determined that I had PCOS and a blocked tube. Upon seeing Dr. Dayal, I had blood work done and ultrasounds that determined that I needed a surgery to remove the build up of the lining of my uterus that when tested was cancerous and pre cancerous. The blood work also concluded that I do not produce some of the chemicals that are required to ovulate or to shed the lining of my uterus and fertility medications were not resulting in ovulation.

I have worked with several of them and I can say that they are all very professional and they give you and overall sense that they care for your wellbeing and about your journey.
Describe your experience with Sher Fertility of Las Vegas.
The clinic is very informative and they are dedicated in helping you on your journey and in trying to find answers. They used to do seminars once a year for informative purposes and where they would draw to give away a free round of IVF if you were to require one but they are not doing this currently.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at Sher Fertility of Las Vegas.
So far, everything has been covered by my insurance for preventative care. Currently, the cost for my IVF is about $7,500 with medications costing between $3,000 and $5,000.

Before we started out FET ahe redid most testing which I appreciated. She redid the saline sonogram, blood Work, and did a new test for natural killer cells. Based on results I had polyps removed again, did intralipids, baby asprin, lovonox, etc.
We ended up having to move to a fresh cycle and based on previous success and test results we did a micro-ivf cycle. We did lower doses of meds gonal-f and menopur.

Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
My first protocol with Dr. Dayal was very aggressive, inhave endo, adeno, fibroids, blocked tubes & DOR, so she went aggressive. Unfortunately there were only 2 eggs not even mature enough to retrieve. Our cycle was cancelled. We tried again, she went with a different protocol of low and slow and we ended up getting 5 eggs, but only 4 mature and fertilized. Day 5 nothing good enough to transfer and they said we could wait one more day. They called and our one little fighter had gone to a pre blast, so we got to transfer! Thought it was our miracle, but again ended in a negative outcome. We now are currently in the process of a Donor cycle that we will hopefully be retrieving in June!

You always feel like she has your best interest at heart. Our first round with IVF, our embryos were not viable enough to transfer. Of course this is heartbreaking but she called a few days later to check on us and wanted us to know that she was thinking about us and wanted to go over everything. Then, on our second round, right be our transfer she hopped up on the bed next to me and asked how I was feeling and discussed the transfer before going into the operating room. I love that she is so relate-able!

I was on various injections and oral medications. The progesterone in oil injections were the worst because they burned horribly because the shot is like a jelly substance. On our second cycle, Dr. Dayal increased my dosages of Follistim and added another medication to hopefully get more eggs, which it did.

Dr Dayal was very compassionate and had great bedside manner. She always explained everything in great detail. Spent an hour with us on our first consult visit...Dr Dayal had us try ourselves first with just meds since the success rate was similar with IUI and waiting on insurance. That was not successful. We then moved to IVF due to my age and history and my husband's sperm issues. First time was a lower protocol to see how my body reacted to it. It did not succeed. We then moved to a very high protocol since we didn't get very many eggs at all with low one. 2nd time we did not succeed either due to egg quality. 3rd time we tried with high protocol, acupuncture, and reduced stressed and we where successful. Dr Dayal did suggest acupuncture and that my stress levels were to high.

How was your experience with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Dr Dayal was very compassionate and had great bedside manner. She always explained everything in great detail. Spent an hour with us on our first consult visit. We conceived on our 3 IVF try and we never felt like just another statistic with her like with other clinics we had used.

Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
They always called with results as soon as they got them from the lab. Always answered emails or messages I left if I had issues or questions quickly. Only bad thing was our nurse/case coordinator moved away so we were left in limbo for a little bit without a direct point of contact.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
Sometimes the front desk staff didn't answer the phone and would have to leave a VM which could get annoying. The staff was always very nice and helpful wether it's the front desk, insurance ladies or the embryologist (first babysitter).

Amy was our nurse and Jamie our Care Coordinator. Both had excellent bedside manner. Amy was knowledgeable and explained things in terms we could understand.

How was your experience with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
From the very first appointment, Dr. Dayal was always there. She came out and greeted us at the initial consultation and brought us back to her office. She thoroughly explained everything about infertility, our issues, possibly plans, testing, and everything else. During all of the initial testing, I always saw her.

Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
I was on an agonist protocol with Lupron as my suppressant because my labs came back pretty good. I was on a medium protocol, Dr. Dayal said. I ended up getting 25 eggs, so it worked well for me and the maturity and embryo production was great! I didn't feel like it was a "cookie cutter" protocol at all!
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Amy)
My main nurse as well as the entire nursing staff were amazing to me. I had most of their email addresses and would email them at all hours (literally, I emailed some of them at 10 pm and got responses back). I had to call the on-call nurse once and got to talk to them late at night as well when I had a medication question. I had no hesitation in her voice as she helped me and walked me through a mini-freak out. The girls who brought me back for all the ultrasounds were always smiling and so excited to see me!
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
I think there are a lot of strengths with this clinic. Their front office staff is always smiling when they greet me, I was always able to make appointments that worked with my schedule. They are super organized, know what their doing and run it like a well oiled machine. That makes me feel great, as I tend to be a very organized person. I didn't get a lot of interaction with the lab directly but they definitely took good care of my embryos, so that's fine with me!

How was your experience with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Dr. Dayal is an extremely intelligent and compassionate healthcare provider. If anything, some of her talents in more complex cases may be limited by the protocols of belonging to a large organization like SIRM.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Research, research, research. For any fertility patient - you are your best advocate. The best way to partner with Dr. Dayal (and any doctor) is to educate yourself, ask questions, and understand the realities and difficulties of fertility treatment.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?

Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
Under the care of Dr. Dayal I completed 1 fresh cycle - resulting in a miscarriage and 1 frozen embryo. 1 Frozen transfer - resulting in a chemical pregnancy. 1 egg retrieval with ICSI for CGH testing - resulting in 1 CGH normal pregnancy. 1 cancelled cycle - intended for banking more CGH screened embryos. 1 Frozen transfer of 1 CGH normal embryo - resulting in a current Mo-Di twin pregnancy.
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Amy Albertson)
Amy is smart, kind, and compassionate. Often times her patient load seemed to be on the heavy side though.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
There is very little flexibility with appointment times. It is also important to know that they provide preferential treatment times to those that are 'in cycle.' Whether a patient is in cycle receiving a treatment or receiving an ultrasound after a cycle - they should be treated with the same level of importance and respect.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
Ultrasounds, visits, etc. were included in the treatment pricing packages. Medications and any extra procedures were not.

The first real time she saw us was for our first ultrasound of our very first pregnancy, I was 7 weeks pregnant, our baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks and she had to tell us there was no heartbeat, I could not have asked for a better experience at a horrible time, it was clear she was upset for us and she hugged me before I left.

When we had issues getting my lining to grow for frozen transfers she was willing to try different things and never gave up.
Our son is two and we've had some losses since he was born, Dr Dayal has still been there for us whenever we had questions or needed help.
She is a very special person who is great at her job, I know you want objective comments but I genuinely don't have a bad thing to say.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Be honest with her, about your fears or goals, she will listen and even if it seems like you're asking a stupid question she will never make you feel that way.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine)?
Dr Dayal would talk to us about our cycle and what was happening, she never talked in general terms of treatment, it was always about our specific cycle.
Describe the protocols Molina Dayal used in your cycles at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine) and their degree of success.
My lining doesn't grow well for frozen cycles so I was on terbutaline and viagra, on my final cycle my lining still wasn't as good as she wanted so we added vaginal estrace, it worked in two days.
I was also on intra lipid infusions for elevated nk cells and a partial dq alpha match.
Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Jamie Layman )
Jamie was my co ordinator and MerryKay was my nurse, I think they have very different styles, with Jamie making friends more and being the shoulder to cry on and MK being the cool and collected one that gave the answers and could pull you back to earth when the hormones are making you crazy. They both answered emails very quickly and made me feel not alone, they are a great team.
Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
For me the main strength and the reason I'd never go anywhere else is the fact that you actually see the RE at each appointment, she does your monitoring ultrasound so there's no waiting around for a phone call later, you get your answer straight away.
Half way through my time there a place opened right next door to get your blood work, they would send over your lab request so you could go there first, it's very efficient.
Even Stephanie the receptionist would greet you by name and know why you were there, from the moment you walk in you feel welcome.
I would like to see prices on the Website but I'm very happy that they have recently joined up with a medical loan company.
Even if we were to move away if we ever do another cycle we would travel back to Missouri to use Dr Dayal.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
We paid for the two cycle plan which included two fresh cycles and unlimited frozen transfers, we didn't get to use the second fresh because we had our son from the final frozen embryo, because we done four frozen cycles it saved us money. We had to pay separately for anesthesia and blood work.
Describe Molina Dayal's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
Due to our partial dq alpha match we were only allowed to transfer one embryo at a time because of the belief if we put one back that was a match it could cause it's to lose both of them, I personally don't see a need to transfer more than one, out of 5 set we had 3 positive tests with one live birth.

Describe your experience with your nurse at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine). (Assigned nurse: Amanda Tayon)
The care coordinators and nursing staff at SIRM-St. Louis are fantastic. For example, in my previous cycle prior to coming to SIRM, I was in my RE doctor's office once. I only communicated via email with my coordinator. I felt like a number. It's a completely different scenario at SIRM...and much for the better. It's a sense of compassion and of comradery.

Absolutely nothing is negative about SIRM. In fact, you can now do both your ultrasounds and your blood work in their office! It's not only great care, it's incredibly convenient.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Molina Dayal at SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
I have insurance coverage, but I have to say that without coverage, my cost would be around 11k/cycle. Note that I'm on an estrogen priming cycle, so my meds are expensive.

She explains everything carefully. She sets out a treatment plan for your treatment type and will try to adjust as needed. Only thing I would change is the fact that there is no way to communicate with her directly; you have to communicate with your nurse if there is something you need to communicate with her.

I loved her! She took time to actually try to figure out what was going on. Took me into her office just to sit and chat through the whole process.

Describe your experience with SIRM St Louis (Sher institute for Reproductive Medicine).
I don't know that I have anything negative to say about the clinic. I don't doubt that there are probably cheaper clinics (I think they have a tendency to require more blood testing than other clinics for example), but aside from that, the we've had a great experience. The staff are all very helpful and knowledgable at their jobs, and seem to be genuinely interested in helping us reach our goals.

I feel more prepared at conquering infertility than I did before seeing Dr. Dayal...I was diagnosed with borderline PCOS so we tried an IUI with Letrozole to begin with because I wanted to be aggressive. After it didn't work, Dr. Dayal said that we could try conceiving on our own with the help of meds. Beside Letrozole, we used the injectable Menopure along with a viagra suppository. My body responded well each time to the meds.
