This is the most recent data from the CDC. The CDC cautions that it should not be used to compare doctors and clinics. This data represents the outcomes of IVF cycles when using a person's own eggs.
For more information please see our FAQs.
Where you see a “?” on the chart, a clinic has done fewer than 20 cycles in this category and age range, so the CDC says showing percentages from this small data set would be misleading and unreliable.

Describe Michael Mersol-Barg's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Michigan Reproductive Medicine.
Dr Mersol-Barg is very friendly and supportive. He was very thorough in explaining the process and answering our questions. He was reassuring furing all of our procedures. I always felt like I was in good hands.... We did 3 cycles of IUI and then when they didn’t work he recommended IVF with ICSI. We took some time off from treatment for personal reason and to decide if we wanted to do IVF. Our insurance didn’t cover much so it would be mostly out of pocket. When we did decide to move forward with IVF we discussed doing PGS. We decided to do PGS to give us the best possible chances.
The office staff [at MI Reproductive Med] is very good at helping you when you want info on billing or account statements. The nurses and phlebotomy staff are excellent. Dr Mersol-Barg is warm and friendly. Dr Singh is thorough and competent. The clinic holds a support group, offers appointments with a dietician, Reiki treatment, and acupuncture.... Overall our costs out of pocket for IUI and IVF was probably close to $25-30000

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Michigan Reproductive Medicine.
We just weren’t told with advance notice when to call to have sperm sample sent over. The sperm bank required a week notification and we weren’t told to call them until 3 or 4 days before n eded. Thankfully the sperm bank works regularly with the clinic and everything was worked out and delivered on time.
