Subodh Chauhan

He’s great at making you feel comfortable and always makes sure that you are informed. For me I google a lot of things and he always takes his time either considering my suggestions or helping me understand while it doesn’t apply to my case. Even though our results haven’t been what we hoped for he hasn’t given up on us which makes me truly trust him and his process. I feel very comfortable being under his care and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Ask all the questions you want, trust me he is the most patient (no pun intended) doctor you’ll ever have. He will take his time helping you understand your treatment.

I can’t really remember what protocol was used but for sure for the IUIs I would be on clomid from day two of my cycle until day 6 so for a total of 5 days. For the egg retrieval and transfers there were so many injections that I cannot remember.

Our medications were in the $5k range our IUIs were about $500 each and our transfer cycle I believe was about $12k

Dr. Chauhan will not just put in multiple embryos. He weighs the potential risks of ending up with multiples. I think for our next round we may do a multiple transfer if we get enough embryos but for this first cycle our transfers were single simply because he didn’t want to risk loosing both embryos on one shot.

I initially saw this doctor because my previous RE would not allow me to do IUIs because of extremely low sperm count and Dr. Chauhan would. I did about 5 IUIs with him unsuccessfully. Each time I saw him it was like he didn’t remember my case or who I was but I decided to use him to do my IVF anyway. I had two retrieval’s back to back because the first one I only ended up with one mosaic embryo. The second retrieval I only got one embryo that was a trisomy so I did not get but 1 mosaic embryo to transfer. Before I could transfer the embryo from my first retrieval, they wanted full payment for both retrievals. We were not happy that Dr. Chauhan decided not to change our protocol at all for the second retrieval and refused to allow us to do a 3 day transfer when a majority of my embryos arrested by day 4.

Be aware of being used for your ignorance. This doctor doesn’t seem to care whether you get the best chance at a baby he just wants your money.

Both cycles I used follistim, menapur, ganerellex, ovadril to stim and trigger. Was not advised to use supplements nor was protocol changed for second retrieval

The medical assistant did most of my ultrasound appointments for both cycles and she was always very quick and did not even discuss what she was doing. My right ovary liked to hide and she was always very rough trying to find it so much so that when I recently saw my new RE I was extremely anxious and tense when they did my ultrasound. I was scared they would hurt me like she always did but they did not.

Total cost for one cycle is about $15,000

I thought Dr. Chauhan was the perfect doctor for us. He was recommended to us by a friend who had success after seeing him, and I’m glad we did. He’s a very nice guy, but I wouldn’t describe his bedside manner as overly warm, so if that’s really important to you, then he may not be for you. However, he is very knowledgeable and to-the-point. The only issue that was ever discovered was that my husband’s morphology was low (1%). I read probably hundreds of things online from other people who had the same issue, and many said that their RE told them that IUI would not be successful and that IVF with ICSI would be the only way they would be able to get pregnant. We brought this up to Dr. Chauhan a few times and he assured us that morphology is misunderstood and that he’s had many patients get pregnant despite low morphology. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant after reading so much from other people about it. But we trusted him and decided to do IUI as Dr. Chauhan was very confident that we’d be able to get pregnant. Sure enough, we got pregnant after our first IUI (medicated cycle with clomid). Unfortunately, it ended in an early loss/chemical pregnant (around 5 weeks). But we got pregnant again the very next IUI and now have a very healthy 3 month old boy! I’m so glad we trusted Dr. Chauhan and didn’t go elsewhere as I’m afraid we may have been pushed needlessly into doing IVF. I can’t thank Dr. Chauhan enough for helping my husband and I to create our beautiful little miracle.

Trust his expertise. At first, I wasn’t sure about his bedside manner. He was really friendly, but I thought about switching to a woman to get a warmer, more nurturing experience. But in working with him it’s obvious he truly cares about his patients and is really knowledgeable. Also, be sure to ask questions and voice your concerns. My husband is a questioner by nature - always ask tons of questions no matter where we are or what we’re doing. Dr. Chauhan never minded and was always happy to answer any questions we had, so be sure to ask.

IUI round 1: Clomid on cycle days 3-7; took ovulation tests at home; IUI on day after positive OPK; positive pregnancy test but ended in a chemical pregnancy IUI #2: clomid cd 3-7; follicle scan on day 13 - 2 follicles on right side, both 20+mm; trigger shot on day 13; IUI on day 15; positive pregnancy test that led to our baby

We are still early on in our relation5 with Dr. Chauhan. At this point it's too hard to tell. He is thorough, a good communicator and listens well as far as we can tell at this point. Considering he and his staff took me on as a patient just days prior to stims, my treatment was better than expected this far.

Be knowledgeable. Make a point to understand your diagnosis and share your goals and expectations with his (aside from conceiving).

Not at this time.

I am a patient through the Glow Fertility Discount program - they pre-negociated cash discounts on my behalf.

My clinic prefers eSET as a whole, particularly in patients under 35. Considering we would also prefer a singleton, this process makes the most sense for us at this time.

Dr. Chauhan has a God given ability to make you feel human and show compassion through infertility. He listened to my concerns and feelings and communicated appropriately. It is through him that God gave us a baby.

Be prepared to move at your own pace for treatment. If you want to move quickly into treatment, he will discuss it, but he lets you make a lot of decisions on Persuing the next steps at your time

We used clomid since it was successful for my first child. We decided to do an IUI since I had done a few rounds of clomid and wanted to increase my chances of success. Clomid and the IUI led to a positive pregnancy test.

Dr. Chauhan was very patient and very clear explaining the process step by step and always there for us, especially through the unsuccessful IUI, he was always caring and compassionate and explaining what the next step should be and always asking question to to keep on track with what we wanted to achieve

Trust his diagnosis and implement his directions

Dr Chauhan was a terrible fit for us. He ignored any discussion of endometriosis because he said he preferred to only treat one thing at a time. He was very quick to shrug his shoulders and blame things on my BMI instead of changing our treatment plan. He also encouraged expensive testing and mislead us about their prices.
