Rinku Mehta

Dr. Mehta is friendly, intelligent, and very thorough when determining what may hinder your chances of conception. She has been very positive and goal-oriented throughout our treatment. I live 2 hours away, so she has been flexible by letting me get bloodwork done at a closer location and checking in with me on the phone. She diagnosed me with uterine polyps last year and the procedure went smoothly. When I went back to see her a few months later, she was determined to help me get pregnant within the year. She monitored my first IUI cycle, but was not present during the actual procedure since she was out of town that day. It was not successful, but we will continue treatment with her once the COVID-19 epidemic dies down.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or start treatment. She is there to help you.

100 mg of Clomid on cycle days 3-7, sonograms to detect follicle growth. Trigger shot on day 12, IUI on day 14.

Probably around 4,000 after consultations, HSG, hysteroscopy, polypectomy surgery, sonograms, ovidrel, and 1 IUI.

Overall, she was fine. However, after our third retrieval, she told us that she had no more options/suggestions for our treatments and suggested that we move on to donor eggs. It seemed like she was giving up on our case. She was also moving to another clinic, so maybe she was cleaning house.

As with all doctors, advocate for yourself.

IUI #1: Clomid 50 mg/day for 5 days; Estrace 2 mg suppositories; Ovidrel trigger. There were 2 mature follicles, 2 immature. Clomid caused thin lining. Negative pregnancy test. IUI #2: Femara 2.5 mg/day for 5 days; Ovidrel trigger. There was 1 follicle. Did Progesterone suppositories. Negative pregnancy test. IUI #3: Femara 5 mg/day for 5 days; Ovidrel trigger. There were 3 follicles. Did Progesterone suppositories. Negative pregnancy test. Retrieval #1: We did Lupron, Follistim, & Menopur, with a Novarel trigger. Results: 12 eggs, 2 D6 blasts, and 1 PGS inconclusive embryo. Retrieval #2: We did Lupron, Follistim, Menopur, & Omnitrope, with a Novarel trigger. Results: 8 eggs, 2 D6 blasts, and 1 PGS normal female. Retrieval #3: We did Follistim, Menopur, Omnitrope, Ovasitol, & Ganirelix, with a Novarel trigger. Results: 18 eggs, 1 D6 blast, and 0 PGS normal embryos.

We didn't have insurance coverage for infertility. Total cost for 3 medicated IUIs was about $3,000. Each IVF retrieval was about $16,000.

She recommended transferring 1 embryo at a time.

I felt very safe and comfortable with Dr Mehta because she really thought about me and my issues, not what “should” work for most people. She tailored my treatment to me, and never guessed at anything. Once she couldn’t see well on an ultrasound and moved me to the room with a better machine so she could get a clear picture. She did my egg retrieval on a Saturday, and went to run a 5k with her family afterwards. when I didn’t feel well after the egg retrieval, she came right back just to check on me herself. When she did my polyp removal surgery, she made sure I had copies of the pictures and results. And when I had an ovarian cyst burst while she was on vacation, I saw another doctor in her clinic for a sono, but Dr Mehta called me at home herself to check on me and wanted me to call her and come see her if I didn’t feel better in a day or two. She is a perfectionist when it comes to her patients’ care, and I love that she did all my sonos and tests so she knew exactly what was going on with me.

Don’t take her being direct sometimes as her being insensitive. She cares, but she is always thinking about what is best for you, and when she is thinking a mile a minute, she can seem distracted.

I have DOR due to stage IV endometriosis and scar tissue from surgery on my ovaries (which are also attached to my other organs with scar tissue). I had a failed cycle with another doctor doing standard BCP priming and lupron with max doses of menopur and gonel-f. BCP and Lupron likely over-suppressed my ovaries, so I had no follicles develop. Mehta did a more natural cycle with some estrogen priming and no lupron, adding ganerelix to suppress the last few days. I was still on the max dose of gonal-f and menopur. My cycle was longer as my follicles develop slowly. Maybe 17 days between starting injections and retrieval, but Mehta gave me plenty of time and was confident the follicles would grow. And it worked! 9 mature eggs. And Dr. Mehta has a new plan to hopefully make the next attempt more successful by improving egg quality. I also took some supplements she recommended for egg health:. CoQ10, DHEA, vit C. Her transfer protocol worked as well— my lining was 16mm, and I took estrogen, baby aspirin, doxycycline, and a steroid as well as injections of progesterone. Her transfer technique seemed very good— I had no pain and no placental issues.

I can’t remember... 10-12k for IVF with ICSI plus meds, maybe?

I loved Dr. Mehta. She’s so brilliant and thinks outside the box. I was a tough case, but she gave me hope and followed through with it. She tries to give each patient the very best treatment for them.

I have DOR and stage IV endometriosis so had a cancelled IVF cycle with another doctor with a traditional stims protocol before going to Dr. Mehta. Dr. Mehta decided to not use BCP, because it overly suppresses DOR patients egg production. I did estrogen priming instead, no lupron, and max gonal-f and menopur with ganerellix added to prevent ovulation. I think I stimmed 17 days before retrieval and had at least 8 follicles (this was better than I imagined due to my severe ovary damage). 9 mature eggs retrieved, six fertilized with ICSI (my husband has sperm antibodies) one made it to freeze day 5. Two others didn’t develop properly by day 6 and were discarded. One very healthy live birth (2 weeks after due date) after a healthy pregnancy. He’s 2.5 now and perfect.

I think around 10k for everything to do with retrieval and transfer and 6k for meds

We only had one embryo, so I didn’t experience this.

Her compassion and knowledge are a killer combination. She has a way about her that is so understanding that makes me feel so comfortable. And even though we’ve not been successful, my husband and I still trust her implicitly.

Don’t underestimate the emotional toll. No matter what the treatment, the emotional exhaustion is real.

Clomid + Timed intercourse Because my numbers, hormones, egg quality and reserve are all good with my husband having excellent sperm. IUI Increase our chances by putting the sperm closer to my egg. I responded very well to Clomid.

Clomid $50 Every appt between $80-$250 IUI (3) $650 Trigger shot (3) $150

We completely trusted Dr. Mehta's judgment on all treatment and felt like she was knowledgable. I loved how she saw me at every visit and did each monitoring ultrasound herself. I never felt rushed and loved how she took the time to answer all of our questions.

I would tell a prospective patient to make the consultation with Dr. Mehta. I strongly believe that when you meet with her you will decide she is the right doctor for you.

They will give you a print out of the costs for your cycle depending on what you need. They do not do a "package" for IVF, but they do give you a discount on your next cycle if your first is not successful. We preferred this.

She was easy to talk to and took her time answering our questions. We never felt rushed. She genuinely cared and was supportive, when we wanted one more child. She fully explained steps to us and I didn’t feellike just another one of her patients.

To be open and feel like they can ask anything.

I was the norm protocol for my fresh and frozen transfer. We had male factor, so if I remember right, nothing was adjusted or used in place of to try and get better results.

We paid about $20K for everything that we did.

Both transfers were multiple transfers.

Very knowledgeable and hard working. She doesn't give up on her patients. I just wish she would spend more time on explaining. Communication outside of the clinic was through the nurse. With her busy schedule it was bit difficult to talk to her but she did respond through the nurse

Give her as much as detail as you can. Do not hide anything

She was very informative. Really blunt, and post OP surgery visit was kind of all over the place in terms of my next steps. I honestly feel like she thinks my age and weight is a factor. I was told at 20 that I had a low egg count. It wasn't a sympathetic moment from her. More like it is what it is.

Please ask a lot of questions. Doctors love making you steer the ship during your appointment. You will not always know what to ask. Please Google questions and make a list. She is intimidating, but please make sure you get all the information you need. This is also your body and your money.

I paid $40-45 for each visit. Except pretty and post OP surgery. I made $1000 for a 10 minute surgery and hospital and anesthesia bills. I am only 20
