Describe the protocols Shvetha Zarek used in your cycles at Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility and their degree of success.
When my husband and I first went to see Dr. Zarek we were coming off of a miscarriage from an IUI procedure with a doctor who took little to no time with us. I was apprehensive to say the least.
Day one Dr. Zarek met with us and told us ALL the possible treatment plans for someone with my diagnosis (Endometriosis and PCOS). She then set up a time to begin performing diagnostic testing. This was one of the best parts of her treatment plan. It allowed us to get some real answers before going blindly into expensive and stressful procedures. Part of the diagnostic protocol was for me to have an SIS done to make sure my tubes were clear. This was when they discovered they were blocked. I could have wasted so much time, money, and energy with the last doctor doing IUIs that would have never successfully gotten me pregnant. DR. Zarek saved us from thst struggle. We then began IVF procedures. I am currently pregnant with Twins!

Describe the protocols Shvetha Zarek used in your cycles at Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility and their degree of success.
When we first saw Dr. Zarek, she did general testing, such as ultrasound to check my reproductive organ structure and tested blood flow to my ovaries. She also drew blood to get a general idea of how everything was. Based on my results, she determined my thyroid hormones were imbalanced and was causing irregular cycles which made it difficult to know when ovulate and get pregnant. During our miscarriage, she did an ultrasound and blood tests to confirm and provided support throughout. When I became pregnant again, she drew beta levels three times to follow the upward trend and follow-up ultrasounds.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility.
The nursing staff were always warm and welcoming when we called or had appointments. They were exceptionally amazing when we had our miscarriage.

My husband and I were so greatful for them. When I became pregnant again, they were very supportive and positive.

Describe the protocols Shvetha Zarek used in your cycles at Missouri Center for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility and their degree of success.
The first step was doing a simple blood test. Second was having my husband provide a sample to check his sperm counts and I received a sonohystogram to check for any abnormalities within my reproductive system. Next, I had some polyps so they were removed. Then, since my husbands sample was good and there was no obvious problem with me, we begin the first round of medication to prep for the IUI. I had US’s following the medications to see if there was a good sized follicle. Once this was achieved I took a trigger shot and 2 days later the IUI was performed.
