Sergio Oehninger

Sergio is a doctor that knows the science behind everything and had studied fertility for a long time. He is friendly and approachable but he spends little time with his patients on a one on one basis. Perhaps he is busy or he could also just be awkward at times.

Pay attention to your egg retrieval stats early on - he may overlook certain things.

I used birth control and estrogen to prepare for embryo transfer and then began progesterone as well.

Unsure but over $10k

Dr. Oehninger is a very competent physician. We initially liked him because of his bluntness about the procedures and statistical chances of having a child. As days went past during our cycle, it seemed as if we heard less and less from him. He was not available in at least two of our ultrasounds, which to us was a very important time to speak to us. The other physicians conducting the ultrasound screening were not up to date with our progress. Dr Oehninger was not there for our egg retrieval which was very disappointing.

Don't expect coddling. He is very thorough in procedural explanation but definitely do research and ask questions.

We used an antagonistic approach

We went with a single cycle option. There was an available shared risk program that was double for a single cycle.

Multiple embryo transfer was explained to us. The Jones institute protocol was to transfer up to two embryos only.

We we're diagnosed through Dr. O and Dr. Brough with azoospermia/male factor infertility. Upon receiving that diagnosis, my husband and I took break for several months before jumping in to treatment. When we ordered our donor sperm and got started with treatment, I don't think my file was reevaluated or not. We jumped right in to three natural IUI cycles , the first of which resulted in a chemical pregnancy. After that, we did two more cycles with letrozole and trigger. Every time I went for ultrasounds, everything looked great. When we had our last meeting before going in for our sixth and final IUI, Dr. O seemed to brush off any of my concerns and requests doe further testing on me to see if there was anything that we could address easily before the next go. It wasn't until after I stopped going to Dr. O that we discovered my blood pressure was significantly above normal range and that my T4 levels were way off normal range, as well. We are happy with our new doctor and wish Dr. O all of the best, but he was not the right fit for us.

Ask questions. ALWAYS. Ask for copies of all of your test results and research on your end that you are within normal ranges.

3 natural IUI cycles with donor sperm with monitoring on day 12. (The first of those three resulted in a chemical pregnancy) 2 donor sperm IUI cycles with 5 days of letrozole 5mg per day, trigger shot, and 10 days of progesterone.

$250/IUI plus drug costs

Thick accent made it hard to understand at times, very to the point not a lot of time for questions. Explained what we were doing that day, but not a lot of details on future options, just vague timeline

Choose another, but I think he’s retire now

Femerra used with ultrasound checks, found hemmoraging cyst and halted further injection until cyst cleared

Consult and ultrasound in the $250 range, second ultrasound and meds + appt in the $400 range

I only saw Dr. Oehninger the first appointment for consultation and then we he canceled my cycle, all other times the staff would rotate. The staff is very friendly and compassionate. I did not feel he would know who I was if someone were to ask him.

I would suggest seeing another physician in that clinic if you go to Jones.

We used menopur and gonal-f, omnitrope. He primed my with 2 weeks of OCP.

The cost was approx. 15,000 without cost of medications.

They recommended singleton for transfer.

I liked that my Dr. was the director of the top program in the area but with that I felt a disconnect from him at times. Luckily there were other Doctors on staff to pick up slack where his was lacking.

Be tough on the things that are important to you to make sure your voice is heard and that you don't get lost in the crowd.
