Rani Fritz

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.

Dr. fritz was extremely professional, courteous and kind. He kept us informed throughout the process and explained everything in detail each visit. We always left feeling well informed and knowing what to expect. The experience was great!

Ask good questions if something is on your mind. He is more than happy to answer any and all questions!

I began taking Estradiol, as my uterine lining was thin. Each week I was monitored and had bloodwork taken. Once it was getting close to IUI time I was given femara and I had a trigger shot to ovulate.

Lucky enough to have had the visits covered under my insurance plan.

So happy that Dr. Fritz was able to help us start our family. Feeling incredibly blessed that we only needed to do one round of IVF and one transfer due to his recommendations and expertise. He showed compassion during hard news but also always showed continued hope that treatment would work, which was important to us.

Be your own advocate. If you are unsure of something or confused, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Started synthroid for borderline high TSH start of treatment. Menopur and follistim pen at first, then add cetrotide and then pregnyl trigger shot for egg retrieval. Husband referred to urologist for MFI. Husband started clomid. Did ERA cycle prior to transfer with estrogen patches and progesterone in oil. Replicated patches and PIO for frozen transfer and it worked!

Majority of cycle paid for by insurance, paid out of pocket for storage fees and PGT testing. Medications also covered by insurance.

We only had one embryo but did discuss risks prior to retrieval so we knew our options if we had more than one.

As I already described, Dr. Fritz was professional as well as compassionate. His bedside manner left me feeling comfortable and confident. He was informative and patient, laid out all the options every time, was forthcoming with his opinion based on experience as well as the statistics. He made this trying experience as positive as it could possibly be and really went above and beyond as not only a doctor but a caring person.

He's the best, you are in good hands!

We did a lot of tests to make sure we have a full picture of my reproductive situation as well as my husbands, including an HSG test, a fully updated genetic battery, a sperm test, and others I can't recall. We tried monitored planned natural intercourse, IUI cycles alone, and IUI with Femera. My situation was tricky as I have only one Fallopian tube and the doctor repeated all of our options including just being patient as my situation was going to make it just that much more challenging naturally. He helped me keep my wits and not get quite so anxious considering my circumstances. When a genetic marker did come up he really pushed us speaking with the experts in that field in order to make a fully informed decision as we moved forward. Finally, he clearly laid our our options and the pros and cons every single time so that we could make the decision that we were comfortable with - for instance we were more comfortable doing IUI without medication at first because the medication increases chances of multiples and it was fully our decision when we decided to use medication to increase the odds with my single fallopian tube situation. We discussed IVF but he was comfortable with us continuing IUI as the genetic counselors were supportive and with the understanding that my single fallopian tube might be a delay in itself. He just really laid out all the options and considered every angle with us every single month so we could come up with the best solution which made my husband and I the most comfortable.

My treatment was completely covered by my health insurance.
