Rani Fritz

Initial visit was a consultation to discuss options and schedule initial labs/testing to determine a treatment course. The initial visit was very educational and information was research-based, which was helpful. Once the initial work-up was completed, we discussed in-depth treatment plan based on my age, the test results and goals for a future family. Dr. Fritz provided realistic expectations with each treatment option and I felt well-informed to make a decision. Weekly monitoring for IUI and IVF cycles included early morning monitoring appointments that could be scheduled before work hours, allowing me to continue full-time work. Monitoring included ultrasounds and blood work along with evaluation by a doctor assigned in the office that day; this meant I did not see Dr. Fritz each appointment but he did always review my results and a nurse would follow-up later in the day with the treatment plan. Throughout the treatment course, Dr. Fritz was always open to and encouraged questions. He performed my embryo transfer and made me feel at ease during the procedure. When I received a positive pregnancy test after the procedure, he was genuinely happy; I never felt like just another patient. He even called to offer congratulations and well-wishes upon the birth of my daughter, which shows how much he cares about his patients.

Have questions written down and ready to go; Dr. Fritz was always helpful answering questions and provided research-based evidence in a clear manner.

IUI cycle was attempted first and involved a 5-day course of letrozole. Estrogen suppository was then added to the treatment protocol based on ultrasound monitoring in order to thicken my uterine lining to optimize for implantation. Once a dominant follicle was identified, a Novarel trigger shot was done 24 hours prior to the IUI procedure. Oral estrogen was continued post-IUI procedure and I also followed-up 1 week later for labs to determine if progesterone supplementation was needed. IUI cycle did not result in pregnancy, so it was decided to move to IVF. Dr. Fritz had me do an IVF prep cycle prior to the actual IVF cycle. This entailed a virtual IVF orientation class as well as a saline sonogram and trial transfer to evaluate the position of the uterine cavity to help determine best route/location for placing an embryo in a future IVF cycle. Once this was completed, we moved to the actual IVF cycle. After discussion with Dr. Fritz, we elected to undergo an IVF cycle with genetic testing to optimize our chance of successful transfer given my age (35) and risk of aneuploid embryos. My IVF cycle started on Cycle Day 3 with labs/ultrasound monitoring and initiating estradiol, which was continued for one week and followed by additional labs/ultrasound. Based on my results, I was then instructed on dosage for Follistim and Menopur and was seen in the office every other day for monitoring to determine if dose adjustment was needed. The antagonist medicine Ganirelix was added to my regimen on day 4 of stimulation to prevent premature ovulation and my dosage of Follistim and Menopur were both adjusted as well based on lab results. I completed a total 9 days of stimulation medications prior to trigger shot 36 hours before scheduled egg retrieval. Additionally, I was started on cabergoline to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome based on the number of visible follicles during monitoring prior to the egg retrieval. Egg retrieval resulted in 29 eggs retrieved, 20 of which were mature and 14 of which were fertilized. We did 50/50 split of ICSI and traditional IVF due to diagnosis of unexplained infertility; 4 out of 8 from ICSI were fertilized and 10 out of 12 from IVF fertilized. We ended up with 6 blastocysts that were then biopsied for PGT-A testing and frozen, as the test results take 7-10 days typically. The genetic testing showed 3 euploid embryos, which was in the range of expected results based on my age and health, which had been previously discussed with Dr. Fritz. We then moved to the FET cycle, which was initiated on cycle day 4 after baseline labs and ultrasound. Monitoring with labs for LH, FSH and progesterone was done in conjunction with ultrasound during the FET cycle. Progesterone in oil injections were started 5 days prior to frozen embryo transfer, which was an ultrasound-guided transfer of a single day 5 embryo and performed by Dr. Fritz. This office promotes elective single embryo transfer to reduce the risks associated with multiples, which was discussed at length with Dr. Fritz as well as in the IVF orientation class. I followed up 10 days after transfer for initial HCG level and two days after that to again check HCG level for doubling. Once pregnancy was confirmed by the HCG levels, ultrasound monitoring of the embryo development was scheduled about 1 week later to look for gestational and yolk sac. Once a heart beat was detected at a follow-up ultrasound (about 1 month post-transfer), care was transferred to an obstetrician. The IVF/FET cycle resulted in a successful pregnancy and singleton birth.

PGT-A was not covered through insurance, as it is considered elective. Out-of-pocket cost was about $5000

This doctor promotes eSET to reduce the risks associated with multiple embryo transfer.

After two years of TTC, my husband and I decided to seek a new fertility clinic. To our discovery we found NYU Langone in Stony Brook, NY. So, we did some of our own research and we contacted them. We were able to schedule an appointment within days! This came by such a pleasant surprise as our previous clinic we had to wait weeks to be seen but not NYU Langone. My husband and I have been patients at NYU Langone for a year now. Our fertility doctor is Rani B. Fritz PhD, DO and we are incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to work with him to aid in starting our family. We immediately loved how thorough, empathetic, and available Dr. Fritz is and continues to be during this pandemic despite our treatment currently placed on hold. He demonstrates excellent communication with us and ensures we understand any risks thoroughly before committing to treatment. During our time working with Dr. Fritz, he has discover some concerns with myself that were not accessed with our previous clinic. We found out that I have elevated prolactin levels in this discovery it was followed up with a two MRI’s (with and without contrast) which, showed I have a tumor near my pituitary gland. I was always contacted by Dr. Fritz himself to review all our results, very personable. Every apportionment we had, we sat together and discussed what we were going to do next, the time frame, and Dr. Fritz made this stressful, scary, exciting experience become an easy process to follow. These are just a few examples of how thorough and effective Dr. Fritz recommendations are. Additionally, Dr. Fritz addressed all our questions I may even asked the same question on a few occasions and he would simply answer in a manner that made us feel equal. Prior to the cancelation our our treatment, Dr. Fritz contacted me to discuss changes in their policy to ensure the safety and well-being of us and his other patients. When the time came to canceling our upcoming treatment, Dr. Fritz was extremely empathetic and reassuring. At this time we are unfortunately not able to continue our treatment but we are doing our best to remain hopeful and we look forward to continuing our fertility journey with Dr. Fritz.

My advice to future potential patients is to ensure you and your partner attend the appointments together especially the first appointment. This is to ensure that during your appointments both individuals receive treatment in timely manner. For example, the first appointment my husband and I had blood work drawn. If one individual is not present this could delay future treatment and we all know how long we’ve all waited to begin effective treatment also our time valuable!! This also gives couples the perfect opportunity to ask as many questions with Dr. Fritz which can be done during all your appointments but the first is the launch of where you are and what Dr. Fritz recommends.

During two fasting blood withdrawals it was discovered that I have elicited prolactin levels. As a result, Dr. Fritz recommended two MRI’s (with and without contrast). The results showed that I have a tumor near my pituitary gland and I was prescribed to take half a tablet of .5mg (twice a week) of Caberglone. Taking this has relieved some of my symptoms including head aches and tension. Another medication was also prescribed to me, 5000U/VL of Novarel was delivered by mail along with necessary items such as, alcohol swabs, bio hazard container, and needle. I have not utilized this medication as I wanted to see if the Caberglone medication would aid in conceiving naturally. It has not and I was not told that it would I just held hopes that my cause of infertility were due to my levels.

This clinic accepts many health insurances. The cost of treatment and visits are seen on their websites ports with the breakdown of what is covered. During certain procedures, I was offered coupon code to discount my out of pocket expenses. Copayments for visits are not charged upon the visit but billed at a later time would is convenient at times.

Dr.Fritz is extremely knowledgeable, prompt, efficient and compassionate. When I initially met with him, I was just looking to see why I couldn’t conceive naturally and was not necessarily looking to begin iVF treatment. After finding out I had a tubal blockage, Dr. Fritz was very honest and explained all of my options and potential success. With that said, he never made me feel I “had to” choose the iVF route. Rather he gave me valuable information in a manner that made me more comfortable to make my own decision with a clear head and not out of fear or desperation. During all of my retrieval rounds, he was thorough in monitoring me and adjusting things when needed. He answered all of my phone calls and messages with patience and quickness. Even during my final clearance he took his time to congratulate my partner and I and explain the next steps in our pregnancy journey.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Cycle 1: We started with a week of birth control, went into Gonal F and Menopure injections (increasing those dosages over a week and a half) added Cetrotide, and finally did trigger shot. We had 10 eggs in that first retrieval. Two made it to embryos and one was euploid. Cycle 2: Since cycle was back to back with first cycle, we kept the protocol the same. However, I only had about three eggs from this cycle. One made it to embryo and was frozen but not strong enough to withstand biopsy for PGT-A testing. We decided for the next to try luteal priming. Cycles 3 & 4: Went month before each cycle to monitor so we could start each cycle estrogen priming through luteal phase. We proceeded with same medications as first two cycles but higher dosages to begin. I’m cycle 3, I only had one embryo make it but it was euploid. in cycle 4 I had the most eggs fertilize and four became embryos but after testing one was mosaic and the others were aneuploid. The doctor asked me if I would like to proceed with another cycle but I chose to transfer one of the euploid embryos.

Monitoring appointment wait times depended on the day. Most days I was in and out within 20-30 minutes and some days I might have to wait a little longer 30minutes to an hour. I always understood that the office could not help if so many women needed to be seen on a particular day.

Because of my very good insurance coverage my costs were at a minimum. I only paid a fee prior to each retrieval for biopsy purposes (Approximately $2200 for the first biopsy, $1750 for the other three). Because I was doing PGT-A I also had to pay the genetic testing company $2500 to test up to eight embryos in that year, plus courier fees of $300 per group of tested embryos. And my medication copay was about $180-105 per cycle.

I did a single embryo transfer and never inquired about multiple embryo transfer. Also, the paperwork I filled out prior to the transfer did explain the risks associated with multiple embryo transfer.

He is an excellent doctor, knowledgeable, compassionate, attentive, and empathetic. His bedside manner and professionalism are superb, he always took the time to explain all procedures and answered all my questions thoroughly. He always used my and my partner’s name, he was always welcoming and warm.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, fertility treatments are stressful and there’s lots of instructions on procedures and specially medications. Dr Fritz and his staff were always courteous and ready to explain everything thoroughly.

Covered by insurance.

In general, Dr. Fritz was professional, empathetic, and knowledgeable. At each point in my treatment, he was able to clearly explain what he was recommending and why. In addition, I had negative reactions to some hormones, and Dr. Fritz was very understanding and adapted treatment to my needs. Finally, prior to my successful transfer, I had 3 unsuccessful transfers, and Dr. Fritz was very supportive each time, making sure to call me personally to go over the news and talk about next steps.

As with any doctor, come in with a list of questions prior to the appointment so you're prepared to review all your points of interest.

Beyond copays, my insurance covered all costs except for genetic testing, and Dr. Fritz was very clear about what costs to expect from the testing.

Dr. Fritz performed all my ultrasounds himself and gave a clear interpretation of what was going on immediately. I didn’t have to hear it from anyone else. He would give clear instructions about what to do going forward regarding medication, lifestyle recommendations. He was easily contactable if I had any questions and I didn’t feel like I was inconveniencing him. He was directly involved in my care and I felt that he was on top of everything

I had 2 unsuccessful IUIs with Dr. Fritz followed by a successful IVF cycle. We retrieved 30 eggs which translated into 8 viable embryos and my current pregnancy. I was blown away with our results. For my ivf cycle, I was on a combination of follistim and menopur with the addition of cetrotide later. He also started me on cabergoline to prevent OHSS

Majority of costs were covered through progyny

I have been on my journey for 1 year now. When I first met doctor Fritz I knew he was the doctor for me due to his patience, a lot of doctors are inpatient and rush. He always showed compassion and encouraged me to keep going if a cycle did not work. Dr Fritz is very knowledgeable and was always pleasant. He always gave me options and let it be my decision on whatever I wanted to do and I never felt pressured. Today I am 10 weeks pregnant and I’m actually sad that I graduated from the fertility clinic. I felt excited and comfortable at every appointment. I will definitely go back for baby number 2.

Advice that I would give a prospective patient is to not hesitate with questions or concerns Dr fritz is knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing.

I was on progesterone oil and estrogen

I’m not really sure

Dr. Fritz from my first visit was very professional, knowledgeable and kind. He explained all the treatments in detail. He made me feel comfortable. Dr. Fritz always took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions. He also always took the time to call me back when I would leave messages for him. I am beyond thankful for Dr. Fritz care. There was a point that I was loosing hope. And Dr. Fritz did everything in his power to help me conceive. I recently graduated and at the moment I am almost 10 weeks pregnant. Thank you Dr. Fritz

Do not give up keep pushing. Dr. Fritz will always be there to guide you. He is the best and your in good hands.

I will try to explain as best as I can. For my successful IVF treatment that resulted in a positive pregnancy. I took 81 mg baby aspirin once a day. 1 ml progesterone in oil shots daily. Estradiol 2 mg twice a day and synthroid 25 mcg twice a day. When resulted in a positive pregnancy on week 11 we slowly started weening the Progesterone in oil shots and Estradiol pills.

Part of my treatment was covered by my insurance.

Dr. Fritz approach was over all the best treatment for me. He always said he would favor 1 embryo because of the risk that were possible if transferring more then 1 embryo at a time.

I would highly recommend Dr. Fritz. He reviewed all of my records and explanations as to what happened with my prior clinic, gave me a timeline of testing and treatment, explained my diagnosis, and monitored me very carefully throughout my IVF cycle. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel badly for asking many questions, even if some were repeats. He recognized I was in a very difficult situation, always took the time to explain our options, and gave his recommendations as well.

Ask a lot of questions! Especially regarding potential side effects of treatment/procedures.

We did an IVF cycle using menopur, GonalF, and Cetrotide/Ganirelix. I was put on a low dose b/c of my diagnosis and was monitored very closely. The hyper-stimulation lasted about three weeks until my egg retrieval. We then froze embryos, did genetic testing, and did an artificial transfer.

We went through insurance but paid out-of-pocket for genetic testing. Of course even with insurance we have had copays.

Dr. Fritz recommended a single embryo transfer as we had a few normal embryos and I am under 35.

Dr. Fritz is the best doctor I have ever met. He is a solutions oriented person and you can tell his treatment plans are well thought out and individualized. Infertility is very difficult, but with him I always felt like I had someone that valued my time and efforts. His presence is also so calming. Until I starting seeing Dr. Fritz, I didn't realize how important this characteristic is.

Be on time for the Brooklyn appointments. Take public transportation (subways) there. The traffic there is bad. They do monitoring until about 9:45am.

Injections to increase egg production. Injections to prevent ovulation. Injection to release for retrieval. Progesterone before an ERA test and then before and after transfer to produce receptivity.

Monitoring was done before 10AM. It was great and allowed me to get to my job quickly.

They accept most insurance

I paid for genetic testing, which showed that I had two normal embryos. Dr. Fritz chose the best one for transfer. It worked. The other one is in the freezer at NYU.

Dr. Fritz is an Incredible doctor! I am teary eyed as I type this because he just understands that any time a woman has to go to a fertility clinic it’s already tough for her. BUT he has this way of making you feel like you can do it! And I sure did, becaue I was terrified of this new journey. However, I had excitement in resonating out of me because I couldn’t wait to start my IVF process. Dr. Fritz was very informative, kind, and passionate about his work! Doctors can learn a thing or 2 from his wonderful bedside manner. I can’t wait till my transfer day and I know he is going to as always be there every step of the way. Amazing, amazing, AMAZING Doctor!

One piece of advice for prospective a patient?….. Hmmmm! Let me see…. CHOOSE DR. FRITZ! you won’t regret it!

I remember coming in for blood work to monitor my hormone levels. I did an HCG and I took injections in the stomach. It was easy even though I was worried, but I did it and it didn’t hurt. In the end I was able to produce 26 eggs!

The monitoring appointments went well. I had my full schedule and went in and was out within an hour. I came in, took my blood and ultrasound and left. I still had the rest of the day to go to work or do whatever I wanted.

That’s one of the amazing things about Dr. Fritz! He was determined to work with my husband and I when it came to finances and even spoke with my insurance to practically get everything covered. I was amazed and truly grateful! Dr. Fritz is God sent!

Dr. Fritz always made my husband and I feel comfortable. He explained each procedure and what we needed to do next. In addition he provided a wide variety of options for us to choose. Dr. Fritz was very compassionate and made us feel like he was with us whether it was good or not so good test results. I felt absolutely comfortable and open to share all of my concerns about each test or procedure. Even when I was unsure of what I wanted to do Dr. Fritz did not pressure us to make a decision. During our first transfer we weren’t successful and Dr. Fritz went back to the drawing board and tweaked out a better plan for us. And his plan worked, we are pregnant! My last day with Dr. Fritz was bitter sweet. We are ecstatic about our pregnancy yet sad that it would be our last day coming to his office. In addition Dr. Fritz didn’t just send us off. He sent us with a detailed plan in addition to notes for my ob-gyn.

Listen to all of his recommendations even if you think you won’t need a specific test done. If Dr. Fritz suggested it get it done. You will thank him later on. Also you are not a number with Dr. Fritz you are a person who he listens too and does his BEST for his patient.

First we decided to get a few test done and Dr. Fritz suggest we do an ERA and I remember telling him my lining is good. Boy was I wrong after our first transfer failed. I decided to do the ERA which gave Dr. Fritz a more precise day to transfer the embryo. Which worked, we also got the PGA done on all embryos to make sure the embryo we chose to transfer was healthy. Dr. Fritz also suggested we do ICIS I’m not sure of the name of the test but it was a way of obtaining the nest sperm from my husband sample and mixing it in a specific machine.

I am not sure I know my insurance handled the coverage. We only paid for Genetic testing, embryo storage, specific medications

Dr. Fritz approach to our entire IVF plan was EXCELLENT.

Dr.Fritz and he’s staff are absolutely amazing. One of the best medical experiences I had with a while. After one treatment of IUI I’m pregnant with my second child. Before going to Dr.Fritz My husband and I was trying to conceive for over a year and now I’m pregnant because of Dr Fritz. I’m sad he’s not going to be my ObGyn but I trust he’s referral and I will miss him. Thank you so much

If you are having infertility issue please go to Dr.Fritz.

I went through one IUI treatment with one trigger shot

I’m not sure of the cost my insurance covered everything.

My doctor picked the best treatment for me

Dr. Fritz was very warm, kind, and compassionate. He broke down the egg freezing process in detail and explained it terms that I was able to understand. He was accessible by email and quick to return emails during the process when questions came up. He knew I was nervous going into the retrieval and called to follow up with me the next day and let me know how many eggs we were able to freeze. I always felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Fritz.

Feel free to ask Dr. Fritz all the questions you may have- he is great at explaining things and ensuring that you are aware of what is being done during your treatment.

He first started me on birth control for about 1 week. After the birth control he started me on two separate injection medications (Menopur and Gonal F). After a couple of days on those injections he started a third injection called Cetrotide to prevent me from releasing my eggs. Twenty eggs were retrieved, of which 18 were able to be frozen.

I had coverage for the consult, but I did not have coverage for the egg freezing process. The cost for the egg freezing and medications were separate- all together approximately $10,000.

I did egg freezing, not planning on transferring an embryo anytime soon, but he did say if I ever use these that he will favor transferring 1 embryo.

As many women suffering with fertility issues can relate, my journey to motherhood has been complicated with some major losses and setbacks. As a result, the whole process has been particularly difficult and full of anxieties and a difficult time trusting all health professionals. Before I found Dr. Fritz, we had seen a few other doctors and left their care secondary to either cancelled cycles, negligence, and even rudeness. Meeting Dr Fritz was a breath of fresh air. His knowledge, patience, and kindness are unparalleled. He is extremely thorough and ensures every i is dotted and every t is crossed. He truly cares about our well-being and success. I felt he was always in our corner and cheering us on towards success as well as guiding us there.

Feel comfortable to be yourself to Dr. Fritz. He is kind, humble, and open. I would often apologize because I would ask 100 questions each visit and one visit he looked at me and said, " I would never be offended by your questions. In fact ask away. You have never seen me on the opposite end, I would be asking just as many questions if it were the other way around." This comment in particular stood out to me because it made me feel like we could relate and that he truly understood my fears.

My case was particularly challenging secondary to diminished ovarian reserve and other complications. Dr Fritz was confident in his choices and because of him we were able to obtain 7 PGS tested embryos with an AMH of .7. Dr Fritz was open to using HGH at my request (which yielded no additional success) but I was happy that he was open to suggestion and input. In addition to the retrievals Dr Fritz performed multiple ERA procedures until the optimal receptivity period was identified. He is precise, thorough, and research based.

Insurance covered almost all services except PGS testing

After hearing the risks from Dr Fritz regarding multiple embryo transfers I was only interested in eSET.

Dr. Fritz is kind and personable. He made sure to listen and explain everything every step of the way. During the initial consultation (which was a telehealth visit due to covid), he laid out all of our options, the pros and cons, and what steps they entailed. We ended up choosing IUI over IVF and he was very supportive of our decision. He made sure to run extensive tests prior to the IUI to ensure the best chances of success, with a healthy baby. He was genuinely so happy for us when the first IUI try was a success!

If you have any questions or are unsure of anything, be sure to ask. Dr. Fritz is always happy to answer/explain everything.

We utilized Letrozole (to stimulate egg growth) and Cabergoline (to level out my imbalanced prolactin levels) pills prior to the IUI. We also had a trigger shot on hand in case the at home ovulation test showed no LH surge - but did not need it.

Dr. Fritz welcomed my partner and I with open arms. His goal was always our goal. On sonograms, he would write cute notes for us as well.

The IUI was a flat rate which made billing easy. It was out of pocket since my insurance did not cover it. Insurance also did not cover the psych evaluation. All other tests prior to were covered by insurance though, such as the Hysterosalpingography (HSG).

N/A

Two vials of donor sperm were sent to their office and stored with no issues.

Dr. Fritz was a physician that understood the pains and frustrations of why patients need to see an infertility specialist. His demeanor when he walks into a room automatically calms the air and when he counsels you, you automatically feel at ease with the journey that you're about to embark on. He spoke to me in a way that made me feel that I was an active participant in my care and treatment course. He clearly explained to me the risks, benefits, and alternatives in a manner that was easy for me to comprehend.

I would write down all my questions and not feel afraid to ask them. Don't think that you're wasting all of Dr. Fritz's time with all the frivolous questions-- he is there to answer all of them. He certainly answered ALL of mine. And if there's an answer that I didn't understand, I'd ask my question again.

I did IUI for several cycles and we spoke and prepared for possible IVF. However, I never started IVF as we were able to achieve our desired result.

We initially had problems with our insurance and paperwork. And the thought of the costs associated with fertility treatments were daunting. Furthermore, I also received a bill from insurance (in error) that was was quite unnerving. Luckily, Elena was able to help me with my bill and the financial issues with insurance. Furthermore, while we were considering IVF, she was able to put me in contact with the financial counselor prior to starting IVF to ensure that we wouldn't have any surprise bills in the future. She really went above and beyond her job title to help put me at ease with such a stressful aspect of infertility care.

n/a

Dr. Fritz is kind, compassionate, and took the time to get to know our specific situation before deciding on a treatment plan. We had seen 2 doctors previously who seemed to just be checking items off a list, without regard to whether it was working for us, and Dr. Fritz was the exact opposite. He listened to our concerns, made a plan specific to our needs, and was ready to alter that plan as needed throughout our treatment.

Express any concerns with him, and he will surely assuage any fears you might have.

Dr. Fritz suggested an ERA to ensure my transfers were done at the proper timing. He also performed a hysteroscopy to remove polyps. I had a history of difficult embryo transfers, so Dr. Fritz did a trial transfer and also decided to have an anesthesiologist on standby, which was not needed during my transfer because he had completed the trial transfer and knew exactly how to avoid previous issues I had had with my other doctors.

Strong preference on single ET

No issues with transport of donor sperm or frozen embryos from our prior facility.

Dr. Fritz is an excellent doctor and came highly recommended from a friend. He always took the time to answer all of our questions and ensure we were completely aware of every part of our treatments and all of our treatment options. He always made himself available for questions by email or by phone. We never felt rushed or left a consult or conversation without a full understanding of what the next steps were in our treatment. The fertility process was very stressful and there is a lot of uncertainty, but his warmth, detail oriented, and compassionate nature made us feel very comfortable and confident under his care.

You are in excellent hands. Do not hesitate to ask questions, even if they seem simple. He will always take his time to ensure you have a full understanding of the treatment and will never rush you.

After an extensive workup, were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. We underwent two cycles of clomid/IUI, which did not work and then we decided to proceed with IVF. We decided to do genetic testing on the embryos and transferred one healthy embryo in an artificial frozen embryo transfer cycle. The doses we used in our IVF cycle were 150 units of Gonal F and 150 units of Menopur with Cetrotide added in the middle of the cycle. The oocyte retrieval went smoothly and the recovery was quick. We retrieved 15 eggs and eventually generated 5 embryos with 4 of them being genetically normal. Our frozen embryo cycle was with oral estrogen 2 times per day and intramuscular injections of progesterone.

My costs were covered by my insurance with the exception of the genetic testing on the embryos (~$4,500).

Dr. Fritz stated that due to the fact that we were genetically testing our embryos and given our age, it was recommended to transfer one embryo.

Dr Fritz’s extensive knowledge in the field, skill, and work ethic make him a wonderful Reproductive Endocrinologist, but his bedside manner separates him from the rest! I never felt rushed during visits and I was fully heard. He took my suggestions I gathered from research and online support groups into consideration when planning my cycles. He was open to a balanced fertility approach, combining western and eastern medicine for the best possible results. He responded to my emails in a timely fashion and often picked up the phone to call me in lieu of emailing me back. He was attentive, thorough, informative, and professional.

I would recommend any patient to advocate for themselves by researching the latest trends in fertility and inquiring Dr Fritz whether or not those protocols would behoove your individual fertility needs based on your unique issues or setbacks.

Estrace 2 mg, baby aspirin 81 mg, Zithromax 250 mg, Medrol 16 mg, progesterone in sesame oil, HCG, Gonal F 200, Menopur 225, cetrotide .25 mg

My health insurance paid for the bulk of my fertility treatments. I paid out of pocket for PGTA testing

Dr Fritz recommended I transfer one instead of both of my mosaics. His rationale was that sometimes if one embryo fails to implant, it may negatively impact the other.

My experience with Dr. Fritz was superb. He's the third RE I've seen trying to conceive, he was the warmest yet still to the point and made me feel like I was in good hands. I was schedule for a fresh transfer but due to high hormone levels Dr. Fritz suggested it wasn't the best idea to transfer but if I wanted to he will. He explained that I would have better pregnancy results with a frozen transfer. I took his advice and I'm now pregnant.

I would say you're in good and trustworthy hands.

I don't remember the full strategy and doses but some of the drugs used in my cycle were GONAL-F, Menopur, Progesterone in oil, Estrogen patches, Cetrotide, and HCG. One treatment strategy was with my high hormone levels when the doctor suggested better results will come from a frozen transfer than a fresh transfer because of the high hormone levels. A positive pregnancy was the result of using this rationale.

I went in for monitoring at my convenience during monitoring times. if something wasn't available I was advise to call and if they can take me early they will.

My doctor didn't have a strong number preference but he did advised no more than 2 embryos, because of the chances of multiples.

He was kind, straight to the point and had a plan that was effective. He was a great communicator and was experienced. He quickly figured out the best routine for my body and what meds worked best. He took all phone calls and emails from my husband when I couldn’t communicate accurately what all the meds did and why we were using them. He was extremely helpful. He performed my second embryo transfer which resulted in pregnancy.

Adjusted my progesterone to meet standards. Slow weening of progesterone after positive pregnancy test and slow weening of estrogen patch. Prescribed me the viagra I needed to increase my uterin lining to be ready for transfer. Switched my estrogen pills to the patch because of the nausea from the pills.

Health insurance covered most expenses. Payed copays for injections and accessories and other medications. Biopsy received was not covered and cost $700.00

From the moment we met Dr. Fritz, we felt very comfortable. He explained all our treatments in detail. I never felt rushed or pushed. He always answered his emailed and when needed, would check in by phone to discuss the progress of our treatment. I can recall there was one time when he was on vacation, but we had what we thought was an important question. He called us back despite being on vacation and helped put us at ease. We are very grateful to have found Dr. Fritz to help us grow our family.

Ask all of your questions and do not hesitate to reach out to him when new questions arise.

After an extensive work up, we fell into the unexplained fertility category. Dr. Fritz recommended trying IUI with Femera. After 2 failed cycles and 1 miscarriage, we reconsulted and decided to begin IVF with genetic testing. For our IVF cycle, we used Gonal F 150 units and Menopur 150 units and Cetrotide. We retrieved 18 eggs, 10 embryos, which resulted in 7 genetically normal embryos. We did a frozen embryo transfer cycle and transferred one embryo. Current, we are pregnant!

fortunately, my insurance covered all costs associated with my care aside for the genetic testing that was around $4,500.

Dr. Fritz explained that given my age and that we were doing genetic testing that we only transfer one embryo. He also discussed the risk of twins.

Rani is genuinely passionate about helping couples on their unique fertility journeys. He always explained what to expect, and never held back on possible negative outcomes. Rani adjusted course a few times throughout the process (male morphology issues, holiday shutdowns, ovarian hyperstimulation, etc.), and we wound up with a great outcome during a single cycle.

Rani will tell you that you are in good hands with him -- and he's right.

If I remember correctly: - Bundl: $38k - Medications: $5000 - Misc: $1000 *Worth noting we will get money back from Bundl since we are only doing a single cycle instead of multiple.

I had two successful egg freezing/retrieval procedures with Dr. Fritz. He was answered every single question and was extremely personable. As an African-American female, I had questions about the success of the procedure and medications used for my specific background and he answered every one with data and clear communication. Sometimes I had appointments when Dr. Fritz was not in a particular office, but he always followed up with me on my tests, scans and next steps.
