Augusta University Reproductive Medicine and Infertility Associates

Dr. Jordan takes the time to explain treatment options, which is critical, especially in the field of reproductive medicine. I appreciate this quality, because not only do I have important decisions to make about my care and my future, but I’m also paying out of pocket for treatment. Also, while experiencing infertility and undergoing treatment, I always felt comforted by Dr. Jordan's light-heartedness and confidence. Even before we achieved our goal of a pregnancy, I had all of the trust and faith in the world in Dr. Jordan and her care.

As Dr. Jordan is talking with you, take notes — not just notes on what she says but also notes on questions that come up in your mind while she is talking. There’s a lot of information to absorb throughout the process, but she and her staff are always there to help.

A few years ago, well before my husband and I decided to start trying to conceive, I was diagnosed with a rare genetic blood clotting disorder called protein S deficiency. It didn’t require ongoing management — just no use of most birth control pills, and I’d have to use Lovenox, a pregnancy-safe blood thinner, during the first trimester of pregnancy. Considering my protein S deficiency and our goals, Dr. Jordan recommended taking a conservative approach — meaning stimulate my ovaries to produce a small handful of follicles and, therefore, quality eggs — to manage my clotting risk. Before my IVF cycle, Dr. Jordan put me on a special birth control pill for my condition, but I developed a DVT, which we initially thought would delay or cancel the cycle. Dr. Jordan and her team worked efficiently to research my condition and bring together a multidisciplinary team of doctors (maternal-fetal medicine specialist and hematologist) who could determine if and how I could undergo IVF, pregnancy and the postpartum period. She came back to me within days with a plan for managing my risk for clotting that she said she felt very confident about and that kept us on track for our scheduled cycle (with little tweaks): First, we wouldn’t use birth control pills to maximize how my ovaries respond to the medications, which wasn’t a concern because of my age and egg quality. Not using birth control pills meant timing the IVF cycle off of my natural cycle. Second, we would skip the dose of blood thinner I would've taken right before the egg retrieval, and Dr. Jordan would use as few pokes as possible to grab the eggs. Third, we would do a frozen cycle versus a fresh cycle to give my body time to recover from any potential OHSS between the egg retrieval and transfer. Dr. Jordan's treatment strategy was successful: We started with 10 follicles, which dropped to nine by the second ultrasound and remained at nine through the last ultrasound before the retrieval. Dr. Jordan retrieved seven eggs, six of which fertilized using ICSI. All six made it to day 5 blastocyst. Dr. Jordan didn't recommend PGS testing, so we did not test the embryos.

IUI cost around $1,000 per cycle — including ultrasound, trigger shot, sperm collection and washing and the insemination. One IVF cycle will cost around $15,000 — including medications, clinic fees and lab fees.

We transferred one embryo, which according to American Society for Reproductive Medicine guidelines, is appropriate for my age (younger than 35).

I would recommend Dr. Jordan to anyone struggling with infertility, especially if you want personalized, intimate care provided by one provider throughout your journey and if you need someone who is caring, compassionate and patient, but also straight forward, confident in her decisions and plans, and brilliant in her field. We switched to Dr. Jordan after multiple rounds of Clomid and IUIs. I came to her with Diminished Ovarian Reserve and Advanced Maternal Age. She was straightforward with us from the start and explained that because of my AMA and DOR, we may not be able to retrieve many good quality eggs for fertilization and transfer, and that using donor eggs may be our best option. We hated the idea of this and did not really want to entertain that option at the time-we had actually gotten pregnant twice previously with no assistance and obviously with my eggs so this was a very hard concept to wrap our brains around. After one round of unsuccessful IVF (limited ovarian response to stimulation meds, 3 mature eggs retrieved and fertilized, 3 blastocysts, 2 of which were transferred on day 5 and the 3rd not suitable for transfer or freezing), we were devastated and feeling very defeated. We could tell Dr. Jordan was genuinely sharing in our devastation even though she probably wasn’t nearly as surprised at the outcome as we were given my DOR, AMA and poor response to IVF stimulation. She took the time to walk back through each step of the process and answer any questions we had. She did not make me feel like a failure in any way and she was very upfront in her answers to all of our questions. Again, she was very straight forward, yet empathetic to our emotions at the time and discussed her recommendations moving forward. She was in no way pushy or negative, but honest in her opinion of how we should proceed with round 2. She strongly encouraged us to reconsider using donor eggs, but in no way made us feel like it was our only option. She was more than willing to try another cycle using my eggs if that was the route we chose. We took some time to seriously consider our options and once we were ready, we moved forward with round 2 using donor eggs and we are now pregnant! She has been by our side at every single appointment, procedure, ultrasound, etc.

I tell you all of this in my review of Dr. Jordan in case you are in a similar situation or faced with decisions you didn’t want to make or think you’d ever have to make-just give her a chance, hear her out and really listen to what she is saying. Obviously her end goal is the same as yours so she’s going to have that goal in the front of her mind when she’s making recommendations. Ask all the questions. Like so many of us do, I would get caught up in how my cycle/plan differed from a friend’s or someone I read about on Instagram, or I would wonder why Dr. Jordan was doing this or not doing that-she was always open to my questions and if something was reasonable, she would do it, if it wasn’t reasonable, she would have a good explanation as to why. I would highly recommend that once you make the decision to trust Dr. Jordan with your care, just put all your trust in your decision and in her!

Dr. Laymen is a knowledgeable fertility specialist. He took the time to look at my history at every appointment and adjusted the next step based on what he saw or what I relayed. Since he took the time to explain everything, I never felt that I was being rushed or just a number. I felt that he cared.

Express yourself. Ask questions. Don't be afraid because he is there for you. He is kind and listens.

I was placed on clomid to facilitate ovulation. When it was determine that one ovary, the one I needed, didn't produce a viable egg, he relayed that and recommended the next month. Next month came around, and it had worked. He then recommend to wait for my natural ovulation and when that didn't occur as expected, then a HCG shot was recommended. Insemination happened 36 hours later and that was a quick and easy procedure.

Out of pocket expenses: Ultrasound - $285, Insemination - $355, Trigger shot - 100, Sperm washing - $240. These are subject to change depending on the person and medication. Also they looked to my insurance and some of this became covered.

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Jordan. You can genuinely tell she loves her job and adores giving people their miracle child. She is so smart, but doesn't speak down to you and makes sure she answers questions and concerns. After 7 years of working towards IVF and trying so many things along the way, and so many loses of babies, we FINALLY got the OK from insurance and saved the copay to start IVF... Everything was set up... then COVID-19 hit and the hospital she worked with canceled all non-emergent procedures. We were heartbroken, and Dr. Jordan had tears in her eyes with us as we discussed how long we would have to wait, what it would mean, what it would look like, etc. You could tell her heart was broken too. We waited it out. We followed her advice. We knew she was worth believing and waiting for. It paid off, as she did our IVF cycle in July 2020, and it worked. It was a 1 cycle success! We were all shocked with my medical history, but all so elated. Yes, Dr. Jordan is Russian, and occasionally/rarely her accent can be difficult for southern US people (like my husband) to understand, but, she will gladly repeat herself or find a different word to use to make sure you ate clear if you ask her. She doesn't mind it at all and jokes about her accent. 99% of the time I understand her with no difficulty. 90% for my husband. I absolutely LOVED how European she was with describing things exactly as they are without beating around the bush or sugar coating things. She was kind, but honest. Example, I had weight issues due to PCOS, she very plainly told me, "People with extra weight have added Fertility issues. If you can get some weight off it will make our success chances higher." She didn't say it judging, she didn't say it rudely, she just said it Matter of fact. She also added that she would be happy to support me in any way she can to help me lose the weight. Similarly she said the same to my husband. She was our cheerleader as we fought tooth and nail to overcome metabolic issues to lose some weight. She also told us, "Its ok, you will get it next time, now you know what doesn't work, so you can try something else that can work." if we ever had disappointing weigh ins during the time we were tracking it and trying to lose. She wasn't hard on us, but also didn't just placate us or enable us.

Be honest, say what you think/feel, and always ask questions even if you think you understand what's being said.

We tried everything for me and my husband because we both had issues.

No idea, 80% of treatments and appointments covered by insurance and got ARC Fertility loan for the not covered IVF. I know over 7+ years we spent well over many $100,000s between all medical parts of infertility.

At first, due to my age, I was not in love with the idea of single embryo transfer, however, after expressing my concerns she explained the plethora of reasons she felt it was best and made sure I was in agreement with her on a cost/benefit ratio approach.

She had decent bed side manner. Can be stoic at times, but you have to see past that. She was good at explaining things and giving us realistic advice. I seen her twice throughout the IVF process, the other was through telehealth. Overall good doctor, could be better at time management.

She is a good doctor

Lupron for 14 days, follistim, ovidrell trigger shot, progesterone shots and estrogen patches . I had to take cabergoline for a few days. If I can remember they wanted to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation. Which happened anyways. I had to drink a lot of protein and Gatorade

I went to Macon clinic. Appointment times were early but fine, even though it was an hour away from me. I was in and out quickly and Dee was good at informing me of my progress

$13,000

Dr Jordan transferred 2 embryos to give me a better chance of 1 sticking. 3day transfer, for the likely hood of the embryos surviving.

Dr. Jordan is extremely intelligent and that was apparent from the first time I met her. She is also very confident in her program which in turn makes me feel confident in her abilities as my doctor. I am naturally a very anxious person and she really put my mind at ease by answering all of my questions thoroughly. She is always very positive and concerned for how I am doing or feeling prior to or during a procedure, which I appreciate. Sometimes she does seem to come off a little "short" in her answers but even still, my questions do get answered. Also, I know when she tells me something that she is not sugar coating it which I very much appreciate and again, makes me feel confident in her care.

Trust her. There are so many unknowns with fertility, but know that she is truly one of the best. She really does care and will only tell you the truth - good or bad. I had done so much research prior to my initial consultation and worked myself up, but she had really already thought of everything.

I took 20 units of Lupron twice daily for the first 3 days, and then on the fourth day I added 225 IU of Gonal-F and 75 IU menopur. Unfortunately, on the fifth day of my protocol, my cycle got cancelled as a precaution due to Covid-19.

$8000 to the lab and clinic which included the egg retrieval and embryo transfer, stimulation monitoring, blood work and ultrasounds

Dr Jordan explained to me that it is much safer to do a single embryo transfer because a pregnancy that results in multiples is much more of a risk to the mother and the baby or babies.

There is a bit of language barrier which makes communication challenging. There is a lot of information and sometimes she will hand you a packet of information and expect you to read and understand; however, the positive is that she is patient and will go over any and all questions that you may have.

Do plenty of research prior. Write down all your questions and keep a notebook with all information discussed as a reference.

Progesterone oil: after implantation Estradiol: after implantation Menopur: pre implantation Sodium Chloride: pre implantation Gonal 600 IU: pre implantation Pre-implantation drugs made me have nausea and a loss of appetite. The post-implantation drugs, specifically the progesterone oil made me have knots subcutaneously which was uncomfortable. Menopur also burned while injecting.

There were a lot of annoying unaccounted for costs that surprised us. IVF basic services: $3650 Embry cryopreservation 475.00 Anesthesia fee: $380 Medications: $2700 Lab services: $5190

Dr. Jordan is a brilliant doctor and is able to convey her knowledge in a way that patients can understand. She uses visuals (pictures, graphs, etc) to describe certain aspects of treatments and procedures. She usually has medical students with her, and takes the time to explain to them what needs to happen to make sure I am comfortable before proceeding. She also explains to us each step of the process. My wife and I were unsure what to expect seeking treatment as a same sex couple. Dr. Jordan was nothing but respectful and encouraging in our attempts to build a family. She was honest from the beginning about what steps I needed to take before trying to conceive (lost weight, work with my psychiatrist to change medicines to safer choices) but wasn’t unkind in conveying them.

Call way in advance- as their practice is very busy and it takes months to be seen.

For our first rounds of IUI, Dr. Jordan performed a transvaginal ultrasound to determine if I had any follicles. Then she performed a Saline Infused Sonogram (SIS) to ensure my tubes were open. On my next cycle, she prescribed Letrazole to stimulate ovulation, did transvaginal ultrasounds you monitor the size of my follicles, and after a positive home ovulation prediction kit, performed an IUI using donor sperm. This resulted in a positive pregnancy test and ultimately the birth of our first son. 2.5 years later we are in the process of giving him a sibling. During our first follow-up consult, she ordered an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) to examine my tubes and uterus (she wanted to ensure tubes were open and there was no obvious reason for our son being born premature (i.e. scar tissue, lingering infection). She and the radiologist did see a small image they were concerned about, so the following cycle she performed a saline infused sonogram to further investigate. She determined that it was probably a small amount of scar tissue but was not concerned enough to do surgery. She actually was able to flush it out using the saline. We then attempted the same course of treatment as our first time, using letrazole and donor sperm for IUI. On the first round I also did a trigger shot to stimulate ovulation since home my ovulation prediction kit never turned positive. We have repeated these steps (minus the trigger shot) for two additional rounds, resulting in three negative pregnancy tests. Our next steps were to either attempt a fourth IUI or discuss IVF. Unfortunately, our last IUI was performed the week before the American Society for Reproductive Medicine urged fertility treatments and procedures be put on hold. When her office opens back up, we will meet with Dr. Jordan to determine our next course of treatment.

Insurance covered procedures related to diagnosing infertility (saline infused sonogram and HSG) but not anything else. As an estimate, each round of IUI (ultrasound, labs, sperm washing, IUI) cost roughly $1,000.

No embryo transfer occurred for us, so I can not speak to this.

Dr. Jordan is extremely busy but she makes you feel like she can sit and talk to you all day. She is excellent at telling you what to expect and what each procedure entails. She could do a better job with the details of what comes next in the process. I am a nurse so I feel like I ask appropriate questions as to what to expect. That information isn’t always readily given to you.

Don’t hesitate to go see her!

Egg retrieval medications started with SQ Lupron injections morning and night (on a Wednesday). Then a couple days later we added SQ Menopur and SQ Follistim injections in the evening. The next Monday, Wednesday and Friday I went into the clinic and had my estrogen levels drawn and transvaginal ultrasounds for follicle counts. On Wednesday’s visit my estrogen levels were high and I was told to start drinking 40-60 grams of protein every 4-6 hours and to decrease my Follistim dosage that evening. On Friday’s visit my estrogen levels doubled and I was told to stop the menopur and Follistim altogether and begin drinking 80 grams of protein every 4 hours. My retrieval was on the next Monday and I had to do the HCG trigger shot over the weekend prior to. They retrieved 30 eggs under sedation and told me to continue drinking the protein to prevent Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome.

Ultrasound appointments were generally done first thing in the morning, starting at 8:00 am. You’re seen as you get there so people usually come early to get in line.

I do not recall specific costs.

Dr. Jordan prefers single embryo transfers because the risk of multiples having health problems/death is not worth it.

Dr. Goodman communicates well and make sure my husband and I understood what we are doing. We met after 3 IUI, and talked about the next steps. We decided on 3 additional IUI; however, My husband and I completed 2 more and decided we are done. We would love to move forward with IVF, but the cost is more than we can handle. Dr. Goodman was very supportive during the times we had an appointment with her. I am truly blessed for Dr. Goodman and for her to help us understand our unexplained and always gave us hope.

At this time, I have no advice.

We completed all the testing to make sure my husband and I were compatible. Checked all my bloodwork and everything was great. Checked my husband sperm count and his was great. We started IUI, which we did 2 sonogram to see if I had a cyst and to see if my follicles were ready to complete the IUI procedures. I took Famara during 3-7 CD Took the shot of Ovidrel 24 hours prior to the IUI procedures. If I started my period, I called and started it all over again.

My insurance didnt cover any cost. My husband and I paid out of pocket. We paid 155 for each sonogram. We paid for 375.00 for each IUI. 90 for Orivdel Shot, and 8 dollars for Femara. It cost over 100 dollars to do the sperm analysis. Genetic testing cost about 900 dollars but we completed a grant and did not have to pay for this. We paid for blood work as well. We completed 5 rounds of IUI. There were two months were we paid for the Sonograms but did not get to complete the IUI because my body had already ovulated or I ovulated late and I went out of town.

N/A

Dr. Jordan was very knowledgeable about fertility. I appreciated the fact that she personalized my treatment plan every step of the way. After seeing 2 other fertility specialist Dr. Jordan was very candid with me about what I could personally be doing to improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy. She recommends were blunt and concise but ultimately helped me to a positive pregnancy test for the first time in my life. Even though I only have one embryo left and positive test ended in a chemical pregnancy I still feel like their is hope for my husband and I to have a beautiful baby in our image one day.

When seeing Dr. Jordan please be sure to share both your emotional & physical emotions with her. I personally feel like in doing so she can honestly treat you & emotionally as well. Fertility treatments have a lot of ups & downs. Trust me you will need the support in every way you can get it.

My egg retrieval cycle began with both me & my spouse taking 100mg tabs of doxycycline twice daily for the first 7 days for the cycle. On Day 1 to 13, I administered AM & PM Lupron Microdose injections 20 units. On cycle day 3 to 5, I added Follistim 250 IU & Menopur 75IU. As a result, 17 eggs were retrieve at my egg retrieval.

My professional fees for Dr. Jordan were $3000, Lab costs $4500, Medications $6000.

Due to my age, 39, we decided to transfer 2- 5 day embryos.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis, had 2 cone biopsies which led to a very scarred and short cervix, only have 1 fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy and Dr. Jordan helped me in my journey to become pregnant on my first IVF transfer. I know that Dr. Jordan is one of the absolute best and extremely knowledgeable. She never called me by name but was always very informative and explained everything in detail. The end goal was a pregnancy and that's what I got!

She may not call you by name but doesn't mean she doesn't remember your medical history or what needs to be done under her care. She is the best! One day when she was out, the doctor who saw me was raving about her and how I was in the best hands.

The doctor told me I would be pregnant through IVF with no concern but we wanted to try IUI's first, IUI's are way cheaper than a commitment to IVF expenses and we had a good chance with my husband having excellent sperm count and mobility. After the 3 failed attempts, we moved onto IVF with a positive pregnancy the first transfer.

Around 22-23K (including medication) if not more due to different procedures I needed to have.

Dr. Jordan suggested to only transfer one embryo as carrying multiples could be dangerous for me with having a short cervix and also not recommended in general unless we had failed transfer attempts.

Dr. Jordan listens to her patients needs and wants, but also makes sure the treatment is the safest and best options for all medical issues the couple may face. The clinic is small but has everything they need just without a lot of unneeded extras. Her clinic is also very aware that cost can be a barrier and they really try and let the patients know of resources maybe available. She also gives as much info to patients such as a 25 page info packet and recommended I use FertilityIQ for more references.

I'd make sure they know that most insurance companies don't cover things involving infertility issues about getting information about your options will be worth it.

I have not gotten to this step yet. All we have done is sperm freezing and consultations. This should all be happening in just a couple months.

Dr. Jordan's office gave upfront pricing and so did the lab which was next door. The cost are some of the lowest in the nation as they aim to have it available to as many patients as possible.

Dr. Jordan does not like transferring multiple embryos do to the increase health risks of the mother and babies.

If could, I would rate Dr. jordan as a 20 instead of a 10/10. She is amazing and so knowledgeable of what she is doing. If anyone can help, she can and I value her opinion very highly. I would say that Dr. Jordan is the doctor that I most trust and would not want to see any other. We have moved cities and we are already planning to return to her for future embryo transfers. I would travel hours to see her. I have suggested her to some friends going through infertility. She is simply amazing and will be completely honest with you, never deceiving or creating false hopes. Very truthful! She cares and is extremely compassionate. I value her very much!

There is no advice needed as she will do everything to understand you and your case, and will do everything to help and turn your visits into a positive pregnancy test. After many years of trying, my husband and I met with her, and she never gave up on me. I have PCOS and other barriers that prevented me from getting pregnant and she never gave up, always wanting to understand what was not working. Her perseverance allowed us to find out what was wrong and how to overcome it. She is amazing!

Dr. Jordan discovered that for us IVF was the best option. She followed my cycle closely, and I saw her at each appointment. She was very involved and knew exactly what was going on and what I had already been through. She knows her patients very well and never forgets little details. Always explains very well and is willing to answer any questions her patients may have. For each result she explained what that meant and what the next action plan was. She covers every base and if there is a chance in a pregnancy, she will not give up on you.

Dr. Jordan was amazing and explaining why a single embryo transfer was best for us. She gave us absolutely every single reason and explained why for each of them. She does not make her decision lightly or careless. Every single decision she makes is very thoughtful and carefully considered, allowing us to feel at peace with her care.

I have never had a doctor to comfort me after I received bad news. But she did that. I truly needed that. She always encouraged me to keep the faith . Dr. Jordan made my husband feel a part of the process & that made him happy ! I fully believe in what she says!

Dr. Jordan is very direct & blunt. It may come as a surprise - but she means well & truly cares.

When I first visited Dr. Jordan , my cycles were irregular. She prescribed me Provera to bring on a period. After my period started , I was able to schedule an HSG with the clinic. The HSG was performed & that’s when Dr. Jordan discovered my tubes were blocked. After a few more visits - it was determined that I would have to undergo tubal removal , to better enable IVF.

You most make a deposit of 3600 that goes towards the clinic. I was told medications would be around 3000-5000. And the lab procedures would be around 5000

I trust her decision. I’m a bit heartbroken that I have to have my Fallopian tubes removed - but I feel it is for the best.

Dr. Jordan is an excellent doctor. From your visit, she explains that she wants her patients to be informed about everything. She took her time and explained every procedure and what she was seeing. She answered any questions I had. Even though she is super busy, she never seemed rushed when talking to me.

Since she is associated with AU, there are students studying with her. They always introduce themselves and I am sure if it was an issue, then they don't have to be in the room.

Letrozole 2.5 mg- Cycle days- 3-5. Produced 2 mature follicles. Used to maximize egg production for IUI. Ovidrel trigger shot- only used when a positive ovulation test was not obtain by a certain date. IUI- We have male factor infertility. After 3 failed IUIs, we will move onto IVF.

IUI is not covered by our insurance. With the ultrasound, sperm analysis and wash, trigger shot and the actual IUI procedure, it was around $1200.

I felt that Dr. Jordan could be pushy at some point when it comes to treatment. Our biggest issue would be that I had to travel over 2 hours for each appointment. This means a lot of time off work. When discussing the ivf process, we thought we could monitor in our home town but due to PCOS that was quickly shut down. I was upset with the fact that she wouldn’t allow me to monitor in my home town but as we went through the ivf monitoring I was very thankful that we travelled to Augusta for Dr Jordan to complete our monitoring.

Dr. Jordan can come off very short but she knows what she is talking about. You have to trust the process.

Dr. Jordan had us complete 3 months of letrozole and time sexual inter course. When this didn’t work we moved on to IVF. We skipped iui because our issues weren’t producing eggs or sperm. The issues was the egg and spent coming together. Once we decided on ivf we set up a consultation appointment and everything move along quickly from there. My ivf monitoring only took around 10 days as my eggs progressed very well on the meds prescribed. We were able to retrieved 14 eggs all fertilized but only 6 made it to 5 day blastocyst.

Dr. Jordan office was $3900. This covered everything in the cycle. The lab was $4500. Meds were close to $6000

We chose to only transfer one embryo at a time. This is due to age and the fact that at this time we have no other issues.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Jordan. She is an absolute miracle worker. She took excellent care of me and my husband while we underwent IVF. Her protocols are unparalleled. She succeeded in getting me and my husband pregnant with our first embryo transfer, and we now have the sweetest, most adorable baby and are eternally grateful. Dr. Jordan is confident, dedicated, caring, intelligent, wonderful, amazing and I could go on and on. It is truly an honor and privilege to have a doctor so invested in your success.

Trust Dr. Jordan completely. She is the absolute greatest and only wants the absolute best for you.

We trusted Dr. Jordan entirely and followed the protocol she designed for us. She successfully got us pregnant with our first frozen transfer.

I do not remember specifics of the cost however I know it is much more affordable compared to other clinics in Georgia and surrounding states.

Dr. Jordan is very knowledgeable and has a great track record. She is highly structured, very professional, and uses her years of experience to guide clinical judgement. She explains the treatment path and can back it up with research references. She was present at all of our appointments and spent 30-45 min with us each time. I can be a pessimist, and she has been very good at shining light on the positives through examples of prior patient outcomes and how our results relate.

Her demeanor is very matter-of-fact and some could view as not-relatable, but she has your best interest in mind. She truly wants you to have success through your treatment and will do all that she can to make it happen.

We started with three IUIs, because there was no evidence of any issues on my behalf and my spouse had slightly lower sperm count. With each IUI, it became more apparent that my spouse's sperm count was lower than initial tests showed. We paused treatment for my spouse to go to a urologist; he had varicoceles on both sides and had a variocelscotmy. We restarted treatment and were told we could attempt IUIs again, but we chose to move ahead with IVF. We had a straight-forward IVF treatment and were planning on a fresh transfer. The COVID-19 situation stopped our treatment at egg retrieval. She retrieved 19 eggs, 4 inseminated that day, 7 others were inseminated via ICSI the next day after maturing for 24 hours, and 4 eggs made it to the embryo stage. The four were biopsied and sent for genetic testing. Two were recommended for transfer. We are currently waiting for our first frozen transfer.

$3600 for IVF $4000 for IVF medications $4600 for lab $1200 for IUI $5000 for genetic testing (costs include clinic fee, lab fee, and genetic testing facility fee)

For our situation, we were told there would only be single embryo transfer, because we've had one successful natural pregnancy and I'm under 35. We were told the risks associated with multiple embryo transfer and understood her approach.

Dr. Jordan adjusts to the situation and there were a few times I thought we would be doing something and then we weren't. This last visit I thought I was getting an ovulation trigger shot for example and she decided I was late enough in my cycle that we would wait for my period and do another round of Clomid before trying IUI next month. It was more confusing than upsetting - but I would rather my doctor adjust to the situation than to stick to their guns stubbornly and not get the results.

She takes your infertility personally and will adjust to the situation to get you to where you want to be - pregnant. She is blunt and will tell you what you need to hear.

The first appointment was meeting the team, discussing family and personal histories, and getting blood work workups to get hormone levels and to test me for genetic screenings. The following appointment was a saline sonogram (SIS) and she was very clear about what she was doing and made sure my husband and I could see what she was explaining on the sonogram. The SIS was to see if my uterus was fibroid/polyp free, fallopian tubes were patent (open), ovaries - to check my egg reserves. At our 3rd appointment she went over our mild infertility issues. She discussed that there is likely a cervical mucus issue for me along with my anovulation and my husband's slight motility issues. She suggested that we do IUI to bypass the cervix and insert more sperm straight into the uterus to help more sperm be where they need to be. She explained the whole process and was very reassuring that we should get pregnant within 1 or 2 IUI procedures. Since I respond to Clomid I will take Clomid and I will come back for an ultrasound to check that I responded to the medication and that my egg/s are ready to descend on CD 10-12. Then about 2 days after that my husband and I will both come in to do the IUI.

I have paid $275 for my SIS. My genetic preconception tests and hormone blood work was almost completely covered through my insurance - I owed $10 of a $1250 bill. Dr. Jordan works very hard to keep the clinic's costs reasonable compared to what I have seen some other clinics charge.

Dr. Jordan is very knowledgeable. She pays close attention to results and looks for the underlying issue. I had been seeing my OB for 2.5 years before visiting Dr. Jordan and not once was anything said about my TSH level. Dr. Jordan put me on thyroid medicine immediately. She also noticed that my husbands blood results were off and was the one to determine he had an issue with his pituitary gland. She was laid back, honest, and always patient with us.

Ask all the questions you need to ask and trust her answers. She knows what she is doing.

I was on the microdose flare protocol. They chose this protocol based on my blood work. This protocol was very successful for me. They were able to retrieve 24 eggs, 16 of which were mature. I did not get OHSS.

Doctors Fee - $2900* Lab Fee - $3650 Anesthesia Fee - $375 Embryo Cryopreservation <=8 - $475 First year of storage - $435 Injection Training - $25 *I received a discount on my doctor fee due to the clinic being 4 hours away from my home.

My doctor did recommend transferring only one embryo. She made this recommendation based on the quality of the embryo.

I had a great experience with her. So much so that I would travel back to her office for any future embryo transfers versus starting treatment at a facility where I am geographically. I cannot wait to see her again.

Be open and honest with her about all your frustrations and previous medical care. She truly cares about you as a person and wants to help you conceive.

I took two injections each night for about a week and then did my trigger shot. In between these days I had blood work and ultrasounds to make sure my eggs were developing properly. Then I had the egg retrieval and five days later the embryo transfer to my womb. It was a quick process.

It was very efficient!

Altogether my husband and I paid around $9500 for medications, visits, and treatments.

I'm thankful that she only implanted one embryo. My body is small and my baby was very large.

Dr Jordan is a very straight-forward person who immediately gives the impression that she is highly experienced, well trained, specially educated, and fully capable of handling your case. She presents all of the facts as they are and then tells you your chances, possible setbacks, and even explains the financial details. It's easy to see that fertility/infertility is her passion and that she cares more about success than money. Her bedside manner can come off as slightly flippant because she is so knowledgable, but she will listen when you advocate for yourself and gives you her full attention.

Be willing to let her have control because she knows what she is doing, but also be prepared to speak up for yourself when you have concerns.

I am 31 and always suspected endometriosis but it was never confirmed. Dr Jordan also didn't seem concerned with a diagnosis because it required an extra surgery, but when she saw an endometrioma on my saline sonogram and a separate uterus, she scheduled a laprascopy ASAP. Within two weeks I was in surgery and diagnosed with severe Stage 4 endometriosis. My Fallopian tubes both needed to be removed and Dr Jordan spent an additional 3 hours excising adhesions and scar tissue. My AMH was 3.4 so my protocol for IVF was micro-dose lupron antagonist. I did 20mcg lupron twice a day with 75mg menopur and 250mg Follistim each night for 10 days. I had 11 mature follicles at my last scan and 13 eggs were retrieved. All were fertilized using ICSI due to male factor infertility. 8 fertilized, 6 grew normally, transferred 1 (we were given the option of transferring 2 since my endo was so severe but we chose 1) and 5 embryos made it to freeze. My beta 8 days later was positive and I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant with one boy.

7,000$ plus medications

I do not have an complaints as a patient. Dr Jordan is doing everything she can to help me. I am 44 years old and they found polyps and fibroids in my uterus. We tried to do the IVF injections but it only made the polyps and fibroid grow bigger. There was no response to my eggs. We are currently in the process of having my second surgery to have my uterus better. We decided to use donor eggs, soon as my uterus is good to go im thankful that she is helping me be healthier, even if i am not able to get pregnant.

Make sure to write down all youe questions. And have them answered. And always advocate for yourself.

I took 2 doses of Lupron a day 1 ML of Menopur a day 375 of Gonal-F a day For 15 days

Estimated $17000 for IVF procedures and $18750.00 for Donor Eggs

Dr. Gavrilova-Jordan was always honest about the likelihood of sucess. She discussed all options fully and made recommendations, but ultimately supported our decisions. Although we had a very tough case involving Diminished Ovarian Reserve and male factor infertility, we continued to try every option including donors and IVF. I would recommend her to anyone.

Be aware that she is very blunt, but she cares deeply about patient sucess.

We tried 3 IUI cycles, then IUI cycles with donor sperm. After years of continued good response to clomid, Dr. Gavrilova-Jordon felt comfortable moving forward with IVF. We were able to do one IVF cycle and transfer a 3 day embryo, which did not result in a pregnancy. I would have moved forward with another cycle if we hadn't moved.

If I arrived early enough, the monitoring appointment was quick. If you end up being the last on in the door, you might wait for hours.

Over the course of our 7 IUIs and 1 IVF, we spent $25,000.
