Dr. Moustafa is wonderful. She always listened to my concerns and explained all treatments and diagnoses in great detail. She took her time with me. I never felt rushed. She genuinely cared, not just about my success as a patient, but also about my emotional state throughout the process...We started with Letrozole with timed intercourse as we determined that I was not ovulating on my own due to PCOS. After three failed cycles, we started with IUIs using the same Letrozole dose.
All of the doctors, nurses, and staff who I interacted with [at UNC Fertility] were excellent. They do a great job scheduling and getting you in for appointments in a timely manner. Because of this, you will not always see your primary RE for mid-cycle ultrasounds and other standard visits. This did not bother me because I appreciated the ease of scheduling, and all the doctors were great...My doctor and the clinic followed industry standards on the decision to move forward with elective single embryo transfer, based on my age, the quality of my embryos, and the fact that this was my first transfer (no prior failed transfers).

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sarah Moustafa at UNC Fertility?
I always felt listened to and respected. All of my treatments were explained in great detail, but in a way that I could easily understand and digest.
Describe the protocols Sarah Moustafa used in your cycles at UNC Fertility and their degree of success.
We started with Letrozole with timed intercourse as we determined that I was not ovulating on my own due to PCOS. After three failed cycles, we started with IUIs using the same Letrozole dose. After three failed IUIs, we increased the Letrozole dose for a fourth IUI (while confirming via ultrasound that I had two follicles that cycle, rather than one). When that fourth IUI failed, we decided to move forward with IVF. I have a large cyst on one ovary that is suspected endometriosis, and Dr. Moustafa felt that this was also affecting my fertility.
Describe your experience with your nurse at UNC Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Mindy)
Mindy was amazing. She has such a positive attitude and did an excellent job explaining the egg retrieval and embryo transfer process in a digestible way. She was always incredibly responsiveness to my emails and questions.
