The woman is a miracle maker in my opinion. She has a ton of experience and knows what she is doing. She also is very upfront and will not give you any false expectations. She takes on hard cases and is a very hands on physician, which I absolutely love. She has high expectations of her staff and they are all great. Her office is a well oiled machine. Most encouraging of all, she gives you hope.

If there is any chance in this world you can get pregnant with your own eggs, she will make it happen. She is willing to go to extremes to help you have a baby.

I did two egg collections with Dr. Arnold. The first one, unfortunately all of our four embryos were genetically abnormal and could not possibly be transferred. Of course my husband and I were devastated, but Dr. Arnold really encouraged us to do it one more time. She pointed out several facts about my hormone levels and the number of eggs I had and she said I had a very good chance to be successful the second time around. We ended up getting 1 normal embryo and 1 mosaic. I was given the injections and took them for ten days. During that time I had my labs drawn and ultrasounds done. About halfway through taking the medication Dr. Arnold would review the ultrasounds and my lab levels and make adjustments to my medications if necessary. First time halfway through she cut the dose in half. Second time she kept the same dose.

Egg collection $10,000 both times, Genetic testing $6000 1st time, $2000 2nd time, Medications $5000 1st time, $3000 2nd time.

We never talked about it, but I think she will do whatever she feels best for the patient.

She is amazing. We tried 3 different times to get pregnant and each time she was rooting for us so hard. She is very knowledgeable and always changed treatment methods to adjust for what was best for my body. She always prepared us for all outcomes but had confidence in her ability to get us the outcome we desired.

Don’t wait! Go sooner rather than later, the process may take longer or be more expensive than you had planned. It’s best to be prepared and Lori Arnold can prepare you!

My insurance didn’t cover IVF itself. It covered some of the testing. It was about $12,000 for my cycle. Plus the cost of medications (about $3,000). And $5,000 for a frozen embryo transfer.

She ultimately will only transfer 2 embryos if you’re a healthy young female. She isn’t against it. She will not do anything that will potentially harm her patient... so, if she thinks more than 2 embryos will stick, she will not put more than 2 in. She will also make sure you are ok with multiples if she puts 2 in.

I would highly recommend Dr. Mor. Unlike other physicians I have interfaced with, Dr. Mor never came off as superior and would give me the time necessary during my appointments, to cover all my concerns, in great detail.

Despite who you see, do your research and become familiar with all your options.
