Braverman Reproductive Immunology

I love that Dr. Vidali was very blunt. We have been looking for answers for 4 years and this is the first time someone was straight forward with us. He was very knowledgeable and always went out of his way to answer questions. My file was over 700 pages long and he went through the entire history with us. I was very impressed.

Make sure you have your history organized and be your own advocate. Once you get to him, it's worth it.

Dr. Vidali is great! I 100% recommend him as an endometriosis surgeon. He’ can be hard to get in touch with if you have questions outside of your appointment. He’s very compassionate and you get the feeling that he really wants you to succeed but he also seems overwhelmed managing the fertility side since Dr. Braverman’s death.

See him if you have endometriosis. If you want a clinic that provides a lot of communication and hand holding this might not be it.

Dr. Vidali tried a lot of different things to get my ovaries to respond. We did letrozole and injectables but the timing would vary. There was one time I wasn’t monitored closely enough and I ovulated. Each time it was a different protocol and I wasn’t sure if what I was getting was what he felt would work or what he hoped would work. I like having the logic explained to me and at times it felt like he was just trying different things and hoping it would work.

Dr. Vidali agreed to take just what my out of network benefits would cover which was appreciated.

Dr. Braverman/Dr. Vidale performed the most thorough work-up I've ever had in my life. Prior to this, we did not know the root of the unexplained infertility but Dr. B was clear that it wasn't age or weight. When the insulin resistance was identified, I changed my lifestyle and also set about losing weight. I think that had I not gotten a second opinion from Braverman, I would've continued to pursue unsuccessful cycles. Braverman also worked well with IRMS to coordinate management of my FET and early stages of the pregnancy with the immune testing and medication adjustment.

Be open to their methods and ask your questions. They go deeper than other offices to get to the root of the problem and will recommend a regiment based on the immune testing results for you rather than standard IVF protocol.

Dr. Vidale's protocol included Lovenox, baby aspirin, Metformin, Prednisone, fish oil, calcium and then based on initial immune testing Neupogen was added to the protocol. I've been told that there will be an additional two panels of immune testing in the first trimester to determine whether the protocol should be adjusted.

BRI has a $3000 out of pocket payment and then have negotiated rates with most insurance carriers, even for those where it's out of network.

Dr. Vidale was not involved in the actual transfer process.

Dr. Braverman is extremely thorough and describes everything in detail and answered all of my many questions with lengthy answers. He is extremely busy, however, and difficult to get an appointment to call/see. He also typically runs late because he is so thorough and spends extra time talking through complex results that are typical for his population of patients.

Be sure to do as much research as possible and ask for results in advance of appointments because there is so much information he provides and it helps to have a grasp of some of it and have your questions in mind before your meetings with Dr. Braverman. Note taking tool/device to allow you to jot down information to later eail when you have more time to process is also helpful.

2 weeks BCP, then clomid 5 days, then follistim, menopur, ovidrel trigger 1 Natural cycle FET so far- Chemical Endometrin, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, Claritin, Planquenil, Prednisone, Neupogen, Intralipids Changes based on testing for next time: PIO and more Neupogen

They are quite expensive and my insurance didn't cover them aside from some of the monitoring and meds. I believe it was $3000 for the intial immune testing, $3000 for pregnancy monitoring, $9000 for retrieval, $4500 for Transfer without accounting for meds and such.

eSET bc 1 genetically normal embryo Next transfer will be 2 embryos from previous clinic

Dr. Vidali is very nice. He is optimistic, personable and clearly explains any test results. He also works on your behalf when he needs to contact the insurance company to explain why a certain procedure is needed. The only constructive feedback I would have is that I wanted more information about the process explained to me in more detail but the nurse was able to do this and that worked for me.

He first started me on Letrozole for 7 days, then I started Gonal-F and then Ganirelix. My trigger shot was Ovidrel two doses. He also had me take Doxycycline.

I'm still working with the billing department on the final costs.

He’s compassionate, sensitive, caring, willing to do all he can to make sure he can help you achieve your dream. He gives you hope when you have none and encourages you to believe. That is 1/2 the battle. The other is him helping to prepare your body to get rid of all the issues that he can potentially control to give your best chances at conceiving and keeping the pregnancy.

Don't ever give up.

I was on gluten / dairy free diet, no red meat, no alcohol, no caffeine, & low sugar diet. I took probiotics and endometriosis supplements made by Dr Braverman. Calcium 1200 mg a day, D3 2000 mg a day, B12, Plaquenil 200 mg 2x a day metformin 750 mg 2x a day, prednisone started at 20 mg 3 x a day and ended up being about 80mg a day for about 2 mos prior to transfer. After we started the cycle added in a prenatal, fish fish oil, biogreen supplement, lupron, letrozole, lovenox, crinone, amoxicillian, delestrogen, prograf, viagara(that i had a allergic reaction to), had to stop crinone and take progesterone in oil for 10 days while things calmed down.

My expenses were out of network so I had coinsurance and a deductable to meet which was pretty expensive. Dr. Braverman worked with us to make it reasonable for us to try as long as we had coverage. Now that my insurance refuses to cover it we can no longer afford to try.

We had 4 embryos that we got from the 1st part of the cycle that were frozen. All 4 were thawed and I was recommended to do all of them. I was nervous but the other Dr Vidale and the embryologist explained that it would be better to put them all in because it would increase our chances and some were not as good graded.

I find Jeffrey Braverman to be very understanding knowledgeable & honest. I came to him nearly 4 years ago needing surgery for Endo and leaking tubes. We came to to him with failed cycles and frozen embryos. He has been so understanding to our long journey. He has changed our protocol when needed, and always communicated every step along the way. Although we haven't had success yet I know we will I believe in him.

His wealth of knowledge is like no other doctor. He is warm and compassionate and understanding of the journey. He completely understands the complex issues of Reproductive Immunology. He will help you achieve the goal that no other doctor was able to accomplish.

We used baby aspirin, Lovenox, Neupogen and prednisone. Plus we checked our immune b/w after a failed cycle. Changing the dose of prednisone and Lovenox. Prednisone 20mg 2 x a day. Lovenox 40mg 2 x a day. Our last cycle new donor eggs resulted in crappy eggs although we did get pregnant it was a chemical.

Dr Braverman isn't cheap. I always say people should see him first not last. The company that he uses for his immune b/w Reprosource isn't cheap that partly where costs come in. He is fair though and tries to help where he can with costs. Although he can't cut costs with b/w as that is done through a third party.

He goes and explained all the risks and everything to my husband and I in detail. Given my long history I believe I would still want to transfer two and take our chances. With my Endo and all

I was so relieved to find Dr. Braverman. I had experienced so many early losses or chemical pregnancies and I knew something was going on with my body because the story was always the same. Positive pregnancy test followed by declining betas, or betas that were increasing but not by enough to be viable or very early miscarriages at 5 or 6 weeks. Dr. Braverman was confident I was having an immune issue and after a thorough immunological work-up determined a protocol that he believed would address my issues. I left the clinic I had been at for years (and had helped me have my son) and moved my one remaining embryo to New York. Initially Dr. Braverman's more direct manner struck my Midwestern sensibilities as less compassionate, but after more interaction with Dr. Braverman, I found that to be completely untrue. He was kind, confident and accessible. I remember when I was 3 months pregnant and so scared to stop one of the medications he prescribed. I emailed him to seek reassurance and he wrote back an incredibly supportive email on a Saturday reassuring me that he would be there to monitor me and oversee my care. And it was a bit of a different arrangement where I had monitoring visits in DC area and everything was sent to Dr. Braverman for him to coordinate the care. I traveled to NY several times, but did much of the visits locally. He was flexible in making it work for me.

I would highly recommend Dr. Braverman. I think his work with reproductive immunology is so fascinating and makes so much sense. I think he's a genius, and having the ability and incredible knowledge to evaluate someone's immunological functioning with respect to pregnancy allows him to have success earlier. If your clinic, like mine, dismisses it, push forward and have a consult with Dr. Braverman. I had one remaining frozen embryo after transferring 4 PGS normal embryos with the same result. He had one chance to get it right and he did. His protocol helped me stay pregnant and have my baby girl, and I will be forever grateful.

Based on my body's response to the prior embryo transfers, the number of early losses I had, and the results of my immunological work-up, Dr. Braverman prescribed neupogen, prednisone, and lovenox in addition to the medications common with IVF (progesteron, estrogen). He also monitored my body's response to the pregnancy. At the same time as my blood pregnancy test, he ordered another immunological work-up and it showed an increase of a particular cytokine, interleukin 17 (IL-17), which if I understand correctly research indicates is related to pregnancy complications and pregnancy loss. He doubled my steroid (prednisone) in response and I was able to progress through the period when I had lost each prior pregnancy. Clearly my body was reacting to the embryo so the medications he prescribed reduced the inflammation and, as I understand it, stopped my body's rejection of the embryo. I progressed through my pregnancy despite a number of high risks and my baby girl is now almost 4 months.

There were fees for a consult, the frozen embryo transfer, the immunology work-up, reading the lab results, and the medication. One of the most significant costs, for which I had insurance coverage, is the particular lab where the immune work-ups are done. If Reprosource is not a covered lab for you, the costs could be very high.

NA - I only had one embryo left so it was a non-issue.

Dr. Braverman is an angel here on Earth. He gives hope to all of his patients especially to those who are ready to give up. I began seeing him because after about two years of trying, I wasn't getting pregnant. When I finally did, I lost him. Mind you I already had one so I didn't understand what secondary infertility was until I saw him. Long story short, he was able to figure out what was happening and on my first IVF attempt, I got pregnant. My daughter is 6 years old today and we feel so blessed. Fast forward to last year. After some complications at her birth I was told not to have anymore and I was fine with that. Well, surprise, I got pregnant on my own and boy was I terrified. Dr. Braverman was the first doctor I called because I knew he would help me. Of course he did, and my son is a happy and healthy 7 month old. I truly believe that had I not gone to see him, my son would not have had a chance. So now I am blessed with two girls and boy and if it weren't for Dr. Braverman, my last two wouldn't be here. He is truly amazing. Kind, compassionate and unbelievably knowledgeable in the field of fertility. You really will not find anyone better than him. We are forever grateful to him and I am so lucky to have been a patient of his.

He will find a way to get you pregnant. He is very intelligent and extremely knowledgeable in this field. Never give up hope as long as you are with Dr. Braverman.

I can remember doing injections to prepare for egg retrieval and ultimately transfer. When it worked and I was pregnant, I was on prednisone and Lovenox injections until my 12th week. With my son who I conceived naturally, I started on baby aspirin and prednisone and Lovenox. I was on the aspirin and prednisone for a couple of weeks, but the Lovenox I was on the entire pregnancy.

I had a sonogram every time I went.

I was very fortunate that my insurance covered everything but I know Dr. Braverman would work with you if need be.

He prefers multiple embryo transfer but of course only if it's right for the patient.

Dr.Braverman is by far one of the most genuine, compassionate and intelligent Dr's I've ever met in my life. His diligent work and determination to help me achieve my dreams never wavered even when I lost faith. I first came to Dr.B after 3 unsuccessful pregnancies and numerous treatments at a cookie cutter fertility clinic. I was told by a Dr. that my miscarriages were "simply bad luck." Said Dr. also said that one of his patients had 11 miscarriages, in a failed attempt to make me feel better. So, I arrived at Dr.Braverman's literally crying, still grieving and hanging on to the little hope I had left. I have trusted Dr.Braverman for so many years because his treatments and protocols are tailored to my specific needs. He was always present for appointments and available via phone or email with any questions or concerns I had. (And believe me, I had plenty and he answered them all!) His knowledge is extensive and his support is amazing. He's the first Dr. I recommend when asked. I am thankful, grateful and blessed because of him.

Trust him.

My past protocols have been based upon my immune testing and Dr.B's knowledge and experience.

While I can see why he has helped many people since he is aggressive and out of the box thinking he completely mis diagnosed me causing me thousands of dollars in additional unnecessary treatment and months long delays. He seems enamored with his own intellect rather than truly caring about me as an individual. It was actually the worst treatment I have received in my 4 clinic and 10 ivf cycle pursuit for a baby.

Don't pay allthat upfront money (charges 3 THOUSAND dollars for just a consult) unless you have definite RPL and immune issues. If you are just looking for answers go somewhere else.

After one review of lab tests that costs me 1k and a quick abdominal ultrasound he diagnosed me with severe endometriosis and recommended immediate surgery. I paid 3k for the surgery and had ZERO endo. Completely false diagnosis.

Over 6 THOUSAND dollars for 45 minute false diagnosis and unecessary surgery to follow.

I felt confident that Dr Braverman was going to utilise all his vast knowledge and groundbreaking research to help us, which was incredibly reassuring. He continually tests your blood so as to keep on top of your immune treatment, rather than just guessing as the majority of drs do. You can go for rounds and rounds of treatment elsewhere, or use your money for monitoring and have more chance of success. After 5yrs of miscarriages and drs we went with Jeffrey Braverman, the best decision we ever made! Our little miracle is such a joy! We felt the staff were great on the phone, but can't comment on the clinic as we never attended in person (we live in the uk).

Seriously consider going to Dr Braverman if you have been struggling with fertility/miscarriage. Don't try the slightly cheaper immune drs first, it is likely to cost you more in the long run (not to mention the time lost and emotional struggle) having to repeat cycles, with less monitoring.

Endo supplements to help what he felt were mitochondrial issues with my eggs. Low dose levo to help bring my TSH down slightly (not raised enough for nhs to do anything). We were due to start IVF with a clinic in Europe, with Dr Braverman advising, but got a positive test which remained prior to this thanks to the intial protocol. Afterwards my bloods showed an immune reaction, which Dr Braverman kept under control with various meds.

Dr. Braverman is gifted and talented in reproductive immunology. His research and dedication to people struggling with infertility is what helped me get pregnant and keep a pregnancy to term. After many treatments and procedures with other doctor, Dr. Braverman is the one that got me pregnant.

That based on my history and tries and finally having a baby there is a high chance that Dr. Braverman can get you pregnant and keep you pregnant till term.

I was placed on vitamins prior to my cycle... reservatrol, vitamin D, folate, prenatal, daily green drink, melatonin, co-q10, pine tree bark, most of these are in his supplement called Endo-optimize. I was on prednisone as anti-inflammatory and Intralipids-infusion to assist with elevated inflammatory factors and natural killer cells. Lovenox injections for antiphoslipid antibodies. Frozen cycle to give my body a rest from the stimulation from cycling.

Appointments were scheduled accordingly, I was always taken at or very close to the time scheduled.

I don't remember

Out of 4, I transferred 2. But it was my preference to transfer the 2 best embryos and give myself the best chance.

First of all, I love this doctor. He is so honest, full of compassion and truely does what he does because he wants to help people. I reached out to him in the middle of the night via his website after my 6th miscarriage with another clinic. I depleted hopeless and was referred to him by a few moms who had immune related fertility issues. I described what my journey had been this far and what I had experienced. Well I was shocked the next day when he personally called me to discussed what I had written him and said he thought he could help me as he felt my issues were immune related and not just "diminished ovarian reserve" which I was told every time I miscarried with my previous clinic (6 in total). Well he was right and I did have immune issues. And thank god for him or I would never have carried a baby to term if they weren't treated. I have two amazing children because of his labor of love. he personally did everyone one of my untrasounds, called me after each beta to discuss the results, gave me my protocol and was there for me via phone, email or text. Even after he released me to my obgyn, he still answered questions and concerns I had with each pregnancy. I just didn't trust anyone except him because I knew I matter to him and was just not a number or a paycheck. While it could take him a while to get back to me it was only due to the fact that he gave every patient the attention they needed and never rushed. and his honestly and directness is admirable. He's not doing this for the money. He's doing this because he truely cares and is passionate about what he doing in this very special field of medicine. His endless research in reproductive immunology is an example as he's always expanding his knowledge and that of others. He is the expert and if u think u have any immune related issues, he's the only one to go to. He will tell u the truth and if he can or can't help you, and if their is any doubt in his mind, he will do the due diligence to research options or information so you have a clear understanding of where u stand. I could keep going as I can't say enough about it!!!! My husband and I will always be so grateful to him. He restored our hope then gave us our children.

Be patient, you may have to wait for your appt, call or email with him but that is because he is giving another patient the attention they need and when it's your turn, he will do the same for you! Do not be afraid to ask him questions and advice, he wants to help and he's there for you. He truely wants each of his patients to be moms and will do all in his power to try to make it happen.

While I would love to answer this question with detail, it would take more then this space allows to truely give you an understanding of my protocols. I will say he treated me for elevated NK cells and MTHFR as well as endometriosis. All which my first clinic didn't test for as they didn't believe in reproductive immunology. However, they didn't get me pregnant after 6 tries and he did within 2. Hmmm something tells me he knows what he's doing.

As a patient of his he was knowledgeable, caring , confident, honest, and to the point. I was trying for 3 years at the point When I saw him. I had a horrible miscarriage. He got me through this. Diagnosed me with PCOS. He explained what he was doing every step of the way. We did IVF. I got pregnant with my twins. He also treated me all the way through my high risk pregnancy. I went into labor early. I was hospitalized on bed rest for months. He helped me have two beautiful healthy babies. I gave birth at 37 weeks. They were perfect, born healthy and no time in the NICU.

He is the best at what he does. He will find the problem and helps as best as he can to help you get pregnant.

I came to Dr Braverman after 3 years of unsuccessful infertility treatments. Before I saw him I did 19 artificial inseminations, medications, and one failed IVF. ( so many artificial insemiations because they said I was so young). I quit my infertility routine but still kept track of my self. Got pregnant on my own. But ended up with another miscarriage. I went to see Dr Braverman. With one consultation I believed whole heartedly he had my best interests at hand. He knew our struggles and wanted to provide the best care he could. I had to heal. We started on IVF. I went in, my egg production wasn't so great. Only producing 4 eggs those resulted in only two embryos. Had a two day transfer. It was unsuccessful. But Dr Braverman and his staff never let me give up. We did a couple of IUI. In the time to no miss a beat. I had to wait a couple of months to save up because my insurance didn't cover any infertility treatments especially IVF. We started treatment in January the new year brought new hope for my husband and I. We went had 9 eggs retrieved resulting in 6 embryos. Studied and very knowledgeable now we opted to wait the 5 days and wanted 4 embryos transferred. This was our request. Drove through a snow storm 18inches to be exact. Had our transfer. Followed up. Waited an agnonzing 2 weeks to find out we were FINALLY having a baby. Dr Braverman took good care of me. A couple of weeks into my pregnancy it was tough. We had a lot of bleeding and since having 3 miscarriages was always on edge. But on a ultrasound which I was carefully monitored every 2 weeks, we heard not one heartbeat but 2. TWINS. I couldn't even believe it. We were happy knowing it was one to find out two we we're overjoyed. Still some complications. I ended up Going into labor after my 20 Week sonogram. I was hopitalized till 37 weeks. Closely monitored by Dr Braverman in the hospital. ( just a side note as I was hospitalized every chance Dr Braverman got to be at the hospital he came to check on me. He was still doing OB too. And he was a very popular Dr. He always took the time to check in to see how I was and how my spirts were.) At 37 weeks and 1 day I gave birth to a healthy set of boy/girl twins. My son was 5lbs 9oz and my daughter was 4lbs 12oz. They didn't have to be in the NICU and came home with me. He helped me through the whole process with an end result of TWO healthy beautiful babies. I owe it all to him and his care.

It was all out of pocket. My insurance didn't cover any of the cost. But knowing we had to go this route I would have paid anything. I thought his practice was fair with pricing.

I call Dr Braverman my miracle doctor. I went to other facilities and didn't get pregnant once. On the first try with a IUI with injections I got pregnant with triplets. He discussed previously to my insemination that it was a risk of multiples and I didn't care. I wanted to proceed, because I wanted a baby so bad. I remember the day like yesterday that he told me I was having triplets. My husband and I were never so happy. He was so happy for us as well. At this point he transferred me to an specialist, but insisted to call him if we had an issues or problems. Which I did. I would call him anytime and received a call back within a few minutes or within the hour. If I wanted more children I would ONLY go to Dr Braverman. He is amazing and trustworthy. I couldn't thank him anymore for all he did for us. I would recommend everybody to go see him and you won't be disappointed.

Trust him. He has a true gift and knows what he is talking about.

I went through one cycle with Dr Braverman and got pregnant with my miracle babies. I'm so blessed.

At the time Dr Braverman took my insurance and I didn't have to pay many fees.

I remember when I asked for his personal opinion (vs professional-“what would you do?” he told me a personal story about his own family and daughters. There was no feeling of pressure and he clearly showed a true interest in my well being and success.

Although he is gone, I would still highly recommend his associate, Dr. Vidali. Also, the treatments are intense and not inexpensive but worth it. He knows what he’s doing.

Extensive (9 tubes of blood) and frequent (q 2-4 weeks) labs for detection of and monitoring of inflammation (& possible autoimmunity), and medications to correct or control any discovered imbalances, including IV intralipids (monthly), steroids (through 4th month), and daily injections such as neupogen (mid pregnancy), and enoxaparin (full term). All totally worth it.

Definitely an investment. Labs were $750 and recurring but insurance picked up a good portion. Medicine the same-$120 co pays thank goodness for insurance

Dr. Braverman is an expert in reproductive immunology. The problem is that personally he did not treat me with respect. In our first appointment he had us wait for an hour and when we met he seemed to be inconvenienced when we asked him more details about treatments. Also he had me wait about 45 min for an IUI, which is completely unacceptable since the IUI has a very exact timing.

Do not go.

He does an immunological panel and depending on the results he might put you on Prednisone,intralipids, Lovenox, etc. My IUI cycle with him did not work.

Dr. Braverman is not covered under most insurances and the initial cost to be registered as a patient is $3000. I also had to pay an additional $1500 for the initial bloodwork. The IUI was covered by my insurance.

I did not do an IVF with him

Dr Braverman is an outstanding doctor. My daughter would not be here if it wasn't for him. He always explains potential issues in a way I can understand and I have never felt rushed or belittled. The time he makes for his patients is phenomonal. Including his amazing forum on his website for those not even registered with him. He is a leader in his field and he would be the only doctor I would ever recommend for complicated infertility/recurrent loss.

Ask questions. It helps your understanding of such a complex area. Trust him. He ABSOLUTELY knows what he's doing and he won't let you down.

strategies and protocols to balance my immune system using a combination of clexane, neupogen, letrozole, intralipids,endometriosis removal and supplements. The result was our beautiful daughter.

Management is $3000, tests approx $1500

He tailors for each individual.

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Braverman! I firmly believe we would not have our son today if we hadn't gone to him. He is an excellent doctor and I will absolutely use him again in the future! Don't waste your time with other doctors. In just over a year after walking into his office, I am holding my son in my arms! We are forever grateful for him!

Go to him. Listen to him, and do what he recommends! I drove 5 hours for every appointment I had to see him (I live far away). I would do it again!

Dr. Braverman used a series of medications to support my pregnancy. Some of the medications were just through the first trimester, and some lasted until 6 weeks post baby. I followed his protocol and never deviated. The result, a perfect healthy baby boy delivered full term with no complications.

They were in line with any other fertility treatment office. Our big costs were medications.

He was my surgeon and probably the best I’ve had. He also did a great job at pre and post surgical assessment and follow up. He is compassionate and very thorough. He helped us to make decisions and was very candid. Top notch.

Go for the surgery! It was scary and a leap of faith but so worth it. He’s the right person for the job.

He did a robotic laparoscopic abdominal ablation and took biopsies to rule out endometriosis.

Over $10K for surgery but the majority was covered by insurance.

Very knowledgeable. Prepared to be aggressive when necessary. Very very expensive.

Ask questions and learn about your diagnoses and proposed treatments. Take charge of your care and ask him to explain explain explain.

Neupogen - KIR AA haplotype, lack of HLA-C mismatches with partner Prednisone (20-60 mg) - systemic inflammation, NKa Lovenox Baby aspirin Claritin - histamines Letrozole in FET - implantation failure, lining Estrogen Progesterone in Oil hCG boosters in FET

The fees are numerous and high but if your insurance covers part it won't be that bad. We were 100% out of pocket so it was painful.

He's a pioneer in immunological rpl. He's funny, sensitive, thorough, detail oriented, and creative. He's also extremely busy and can be a bit scattered...I think mainly because his brain is just always so occupied. But he brought me my son after 5 miscarriages(1 in the 2nd tri, 2 with excellent ultrasounds, genetic profiles, heartbeats.)

Be persistent. It's a busy clinic and he's busy. Follow up, advocate for yourself. But trust that he can do what he says he can.

Neopogen injections due to 5 HLA matches between partner and I, prednisone--elevated TNF in 8th week of pregnancy, Lovenox/heparin injections, Crinone bio gel.

Roughly $6k for consults, meds, and cycle fees.

I saw him for immune testing and an immune protocol. He is not really a trained reproductive immunologist even though he has been at BRI for a while. He is a very experienced endometriosis surgeon. Not really sure he has the experience to continue the immunology practice.

I did not do IVF with Dr Vidali. I did immune testing and got an immune protocol.

They ask for payment upfront but they do bill insurance if you have out of network benefits. That goes for immune testing, consults, follow ups, and endo surgeries. Then if they get money from insurance they send you a check back

He likes multiple embryo transfers.

After seeing so many doctors, he was our last chance. He seems to be the one who looks at the underlying reason why something is not working rather than just adjusting dose of same old protocol. Really? Why do I need to keep talking if this is all I have to say?

Don't run away just because the immune blood testing is expensive.

Letrozole flare, Endo surgery, Immune protocol

I don't remember. They did good job in trying to get insurance to cover.

They put in all 5 embryos fresh given my age. I got one kid.
