Review of
Dr. Tazuke is really kind. It’s been a long year of four retrievals and then two cancelled transfer dates (one was due to my mistake in missing a progesterone dose which put the transfer at risk, next time I ovulated). I was tired after the year but she was encouraging, suggesting that I hang in there, and here we are on the 3rd transfer 5 weeks pregnant. It’s early but the first ultrasound was promising... She recommended unblocking a tube and I found a surgeon to do that...I am 42, had diminished ovarian reserves, a blocked tube. It took 4 retrieval’s. First three had no viable embryos. The fourth resulted in two 5AA. I felt I hit the lottery. I then went and got the surgery to unblock the tube. I came back and we had two cancelled FETs - one due to a mistakenly late progesterone dose on my part, 2nd due to ovulation. She made the calls to cancel - they were good calls as disappointed as I was. We transferred this month and I am 5 weeks pregnant and hoping we are on the path.
[CCRM San Francisco has a] Great location off of 101 on Menlo Park...Early hours...Relaxing waiting room...Beautiful surgery center for retrieval and transfer...They [nurses] send me an email of my message schedule after trying to leave a voicemail by my request. I work in tech and cannot take calls at work. The write up is so critical for me to follow the directions. Through screwing up, I learned how critical med timing is in this treatment. A delayed progesterone required me to cancel my FET. The stakes are high and they were helpful...Early on, my nurse didn’t give me a detail on one do the injection timings. I freaked out and from then on asked that she send me a detailed email every time l. She did that and things were smooth sailing.
How was your experience with Salli Tazuke at CCRM San Francisco?
She is smart. She recommended unblocking a tube and I found a surgeon to do that. I trust her and we are now 5 weeks pregnant.

Describe Salli Tazuke's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM San Francisco.
