CCRM Fertility of Virginia Beach

Dr. Robin was amazing. She was so knowledgeable. She explained everything using statistics and drawings. She was always smiling and begin and ended with a hug. I always felt so comfortable with her! When my first transfer failed she said it was her mission for me to get pregnanat the next time.

Ask questions no matter what, no question is dumb and she will answer it no matter what.

IUI was around 4,000 Egg retrieval and FET about 21,000 FET cycle 5,000

Extremely caring and compassionate!

Don't wait on getting a consult! Best decision we ever made!

I ovulate naturally, so we did natural IUI's. Once I tested positive for ovulation, using an at home test, we scheduled an IUI for 24 hours later. I was given intralipid infusions to prevent my immune system from rejecting implantation and pregnancy.

$340 for each IUI which included sperm washing. My insurance covered ultrasounds and visits with a co-pay.

I love her she is the most amazing and caring Dr I have ever met with, and she is so great at keeping you hopeful!

Don't hesitate to meet with her she is amazing and will listen to you and help :)

Dr. Robin is a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel. She gave our family literally a New Hope and a precious new baby girl. I cant express in to words how thankful I am for Dr. Robin and the staff at The New Hope Center.

Round of femera Monitored my egg growth with ultrasound scans trigger shot to confirm ovulation IUI

We spent estimated $3000

I felt like I would receive more care/treatment for the plan she outlined, instead it seemed I drove the conversation and what to do next. There was a lack of involvement and I never received and explanation for what is going on with me.

Touch base with the patients so they feel your a part of their journey.

I feel we were throwing spaghetti and the wall and seeing if it sticks. She told me she thought I had PCOS however no testing was done to examine that further to see if that is indeed what is going on. I was placed on several different medication all of which didn't help.

I felt there IUI treatment were very costly (over$2000) vs other fertility clinics. We paid out of pocket and you only got $300 off if you paid in full before the treatment began. Also they refused to bill insurance for routine labs correctly and only used infertility code which I explained won't work so I accrued over $1200 in routine lab work.

Dr Robin was very kind and honest. Very compassionate and caring. Dr Robin took the time to explain everything to me. Good and bad - chances of success and all the ends and outs of the procedures I would be going through. I love Dr Robin, Her Nurses, Support Staff , Front Desk , the entire staff was fantastic to me.

If you are wondering or have questions— make an appointment. Get your questions answered. Sooner is better than later. So, you are able to make an informed decision. And, get treatment started younger or sooner rather than later or older— Or, at least, you have a plan or know your options— whether, your decision is to more forward or not with anything. At least, you will not regret waiting too long. Information is power.

I did an IVF egg freezing.

Definitely, expensive. That is why you should go sooner than later. Do not wait if you have questions and are wondering what your options are go now. Get your questions answered and make your plan.

There was no follow up, the first appointment was so nice but just to send me to financial department. No review or tests taken, only the expensive ones they can do at the place. Customer service was non existent, and very rude.

Be more caring about patients and what this is about, stop seeing them as a number who will bring lots of money to you.

Nothing was discussed specifically, but just an overview of iVF. Although I knew ivF was my only option, she was pushing for several procedures I felt weren’t necessary. I went to two different doctors who agreed su procedures were unnecessary. Her recomendaciones would have added several thousands to an already high quote they gave us.

It was over $6k

N/a

Dr Robin is so caring and trustworthy. She really takes the time to make you feel comfortable. She is very nice and takes the time to understand your specific situation. She is a confident and caring.

Trust the process

We did IVF due to multiple pregnancy losses and 2 ectopic pregnancies on the left side. She had calendars printed up with dates on which to begin each medication. She had all the dates and times lined up for optimal conditions.

Overall treatment and medications were around $30,000

Dr. Robin explained the risks involved in transferring multiple embryos vs single embryo transfer. In the beginning of the process, I was open to multiple embryo transfers. After the risks were explained to me and Dr. Robin didn’t recommend multiple transfers, I felt confident and comfortable with doing the single embryo transfer

Dr. Robin is now such a vital part of our family. She is detailed, honest, and authentically kind. I am a mother because of Dr. Robin. She is absolutely an expert in this field & I would trust no one else, but Dr. Robin.

Trust her process. She has every intent to succeed if you follow the process & trust her.

She sat down with my husband & I and went through scenarios, her honest opinion, & with ease. I went through egg retrieval, IVF, & have frozen embryos with hopes of being able to expand our family before it is too late.

It all cost us about $15,000 for IVF treatment, pre-qualifying testing, meds, & freezing other retrieved embryos.

She is very honest in statistically, logically, giving me advice on the safest and most successful outcome.

Very understanding, helpful and willing to explain or elaborate on my questions. She is very busy but when you are with her in your appt, she is always prepared and ready to help. Definitely feel confident in her even though we have not completed our IVF cycle

If you have questions, she will be more than happy to answer!

We have not started treatment yet.

I have insurance which covered some of the costs. The finance team was super helpful in providing info and options.

Again, not started yet.

I love her. She's awesome. Very caring, friendly and informative. She give me her personal cellphone number to keep her informed of everything that was going on during my pregnancy and even after we discovered that the fetus was in y cervix.

First retrieval was 8 embryo but only one matured. Which lead to a pregnancy but it was an ectopic pregnancy.

I had progyny

Dr. Robin is absolutely amazing. We knew exactly what to expect at every stage of the process. We were always treated as people and not just numbers. The doctor spent as much time as needed making us comfortable and knowledgeable about what we were going through.

Take a notebook to write down any questions you have, and don't be afraid to ask anything.

It was around $18,000 for our IVF cycle because our insurance did not cover fertility treatments.

Dr. Robin not only sees me as a human, but teaches me so much about myself. I felt very unconfident as a women not being able to bear a child and somewhat humiliated towards my husband. The day I saw Dr. Robin, she made me feel so overwhelmingly happy that she believes that there is still a possibility for me to have children, explaining all options with my partner and I, and that she would be guiding me every step of the way.

One piece of advice that I would give a prospective patient of Dr. Robin would be to not wait to see her. I have learned that time is of the essence, and I wish that I had made the decision to see her soon rather than later. I would tell anyone who struggles with infertility to not be afraid to hear bad news, and that Dr. Robin will lead them to the best possible outcome.

Due to my genetic hormonal disorder, Dr. Robin planned a Deferred-ET+PGT-A procedure because of my low egg reserve.

$22,498.90

Have not had this procedure yet.

I think I touched on most points in my last prompt, but can elaborate. Dr. Robin restored my faith in the healthcare system in so many ways. She is incredibly hard working, compassionate, and professional. Dr. Robin would always clearly explain my diagnosis to me, and had a way of doing so gently and kindly. I always felt like I was in safe hands with Dr. Robin and that she had my best interest at heart. Speaking to friends at other clinics across the country, it became clear to me early on that Dr. Robin is very cutting edge and pays close attention to new studies within the fertility space. She would run new testing (like the natural killer cells blood test,) that I know many clinics still don't. When I expressed concern that I may have an autoimmune issue, Dr. Robin listened carefully and suggested some additional testing to be safe. I think many doctors would have shrugged this off, which I've had happen with previous OB/GYNs. Dr. Robin always runs PGTA genetic testing for her IVF patients, which I also learned is rare, even though PGTA is cutting edge and apparently much more thorough than other forms of genetic testing. Dr. Robin is also incredibly thorough, and I always felt like there was no stone unturned when it came to my diagnosis. She made a point to run another HSG test on me prior to IVF to make sure my polyps hadn't grown back. They had in fact grown back within two months, so it was imperative that she run that test prior to treatments. I know many doctors wouldn't have done that, and I have a friend who went through an entire IVF cycle with polyps because her doctor hadn't treated and tested prior (they had grown back after surgery as well). As I mentioned, Dr. Robin gives her personal cell number to all her patients, which is a truly incredible way to bridge the trust between patient and provider in a way I've never, ever experienced before. In more ways than one, Dr. Robin changed my life.

A piece of advice I'd give to a new patient is this: remember that Dr. Robin is a one woman show at New Hope. I've heard her staff describe New Hope Reproductive Center as the "mom and pop shop" of fertility clinics. It's small, but it is beloved. It's also incredibly busy. So while Dr. Robin goes out of her way to be accessible to her patients, make sure you're surrounding yourself with an additional support system. You'll need people outside of Dr. Robin that you can go to for questions, moral support, etc. Dr. Robin will always respond to your inquiries, but you may not get as much face time with her as you'd like.

Covered some of this in my previous post as well, but can share additional details. My diagnosis was uterine polyps, and we learned from my IUIs that I had very fast acting ovaries. My IUI cycles didn't work because my eggs were responding to the femara too quickly. I would have 1-2 mature eggs develop on day 3 of a cycle, leaving the other eggs behind. As a result, the IUIs were not a good fit for me. As a result, during IVF Dr. Robin put me on metformin early on to slow down the growth of my eggs. This helped balance out my ovaries and caused my eggs to grow in a more balanced way at the same time. As I mentioned, Dr. Robin also kept a close eye on my polyps and made sure to remove them again prior to IVF. I'd had them removed only 3 months prior as well, but they'd grown back. During IVF prior to my embryo transfer, I think I had a pretty standard balance of injections since my egg growth was finally under control.

IUIs cost $1,700 and IVF was $15,000 plus $5,000 for medications.

Dr. Robin let me know that she typically prefers not to do multiple embryo transfers the first time, since twins can be higher risk. She suggested we do a single embryo transfer for my first one. I know with other patients she's worked with before she does multiple embryo transfers if they've had failed transfers in the past.

My experience with Dr. Robin and her office staff was amazing. I felt so supported. Infertility is such a hard thing to go through and she made us feel like we are not going through it alone and that she was there for us (in many ways) throughout the whole process. She was very invested in our journey to grow our family. She was very responsive to our needs and communicated in a very timely manner. We could not be happier with our experience.

Try to think of questions to ask ahead of time. She will take the time to answer and explain anything you ask. Don't be afraid to ask why or for her to clarify. She is more than happy to do so.

We tried a multitude of things during my treatments with Dr. Robin. After examination, it was determined I needed a hysteroscopy to get a better look and remove some polyps and clear the lining of the uterus. After this procedure, I was told this is good timing for pregnancy, so we tried some medications, timed intercourse, and IUI. None of which worked. We decided to move forward with IVF. This included injections to stimulate follicles and promote the release of eggs. I also took a multitude of vitamins to promote the quality of the eggs. One of which was CoQ-10. I was told this helps with the quality of the egg. We had a very successful egg retrieval but the timing was right when Covid was starting, so we decided to wait to transfer. However, I continued taking the vitamins - including the CoQ10, and we ended up conceiving naturally that first month after the retrieval. After our daughter turned 1 and we were ready to start trying again, I began taking CoQ10 again and we were able to get pregnant naturally again. I do not know if the CoQ10 had an impact on our ability to get pregnant, but I can't help but wonder if the effect on the quality of the eggs helped increase our change of conception.

For all procedures done with Dr. Robin, I estimate we paid 20-25,000

I have never had a doctor give me their cell phone number. She told me I could reach out to her when I needed to. That made me feel like I was being taken care of. She also tried to explain things well and in different ways so I could understand. She discussed options with me and treated me like a human and not a number.

Dr. Poe-Zeigler is a fantastic doctor, but do not expect to see her very much during your treatment. You will see her for the consultation and then for any medical procedures. So, please don't be disappointed if you don't see her. She is an excellent doctor and will care for you from behind the scenes.

I have been through five IVF cycles with Dr. Poe-Zeigler. I don't remember all the names precisely, but they have consisted of an antagonist protocol, agonist protocol, Lupron protocol, and two "mini-stim" protocols. I have a low ovarian reserve. The only protocol that worked for me was the mini-stim. It has been successful once with a 3-day transfer. During the mini-stim I used the following medications: metformin, baby aspirin, letrozole, menopur, ganirelix, and Pregnyl. I was also on the following supplements: prenatal, royal bee jelly, maca root, and vitamin D.

The IVF stimulation package was approximately $11,000. This price did not include the cryopreservation fee ($2,000), Sedation fee ($1,650), Blastocyst transfer fee ($1,000), ICSI ($2,400), Zymot ($250), AZH ($600), Baseline visit ($637), and small other additional fees. The out-of-pocket price is between $15,000-20,000.

I did not have a lot of viable embryos, so I did not have a lot of options.

I started with Dr. Robin and came back almost a decade later to restart care because of how much trust she instilled. I'll keep coming to her because she explained every available optios to achieve our family goals.

If you are open about all of fertility problems, she will be forthcoming with solutions to improve your outcomes.

I used medications from a different clinic and we had to adjust the dosing. But we did have to add a different trigger. I also appreciated the number of ultrasounds because retrieval was a stressful exciting time. We are currently in a fet cycle and the medications are similar to our first fet. We just finished birth control, and started 10cc of Lupron sub-cu and oral estradiol 2 mg. Soon I'll start Hcg and progesterone as directed. The calendar is clear and easy to follow.

First IVF cycle, testing, freeze, and transfer total costs with medication were approximately $17k. For medicine and frozen egg transfer we are close to $3500 additional.

I am a "geriatric" mother and the risk was explained

Dr. Robin made me feel heard every time I saw her. She seemed to genuinely want to make my dream of becoming a mother a reality and not just for her benefit. If I had any questions (and I had many) she really took her time to make sure I understood. I didn't get the results I wanted (due to poor quality eggs), but I do not regret seeking Dr. Robin's help.

Do some research beforehand so that you can make a list of questions when meeting with Dr. Robin. You won't see her very often, but she is so helpful when you do.

I was diagnosed with low amh and male motility issues, so we decided to go the ivf route. My husband and I were put on several medications/supplements for 3 months, then proceeded with ivf. My injection doses were lowered during our cycle because I had one follicle growing way faster than the other. Egg retrieval procedure itself went well. 12 eggs retrieved, 6 mature, 2 fertilized, 1 embryo, 0 normal after testing. My eggs proved to be hard to inject, and were grainy. We are unsure if it is do to medication I already take daily. We are now taking more supplements for the next three months in hopes to try an iui next year since we cannot afford to do ivf again (no insurance coverage).

Treatments can get very costly for fertility treatments, but that is true for all clinics. Insurance does not cover a penny of my treatment so I had to get a loan for ivf. Unfortunately, I will be unable to do another round of treatment due to the high cost. Also, prices did just go up when New Hope merged with CCRM.

She’s been nice and really took time fo understand me, as a patientt. She advised me not to give up when I almost lost hope after failed IUI, failed fertilization and, 1 miscarriage. Now I have my almost 4 year old daughter today because she never give up on me.

You’ll never regret going to Dr, Robin. With all those years of experience, she knows how to handle patients and could give you the options that could make your family building successful.

I had this procedure called ERA which stands for Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA). If you google, this is a test done to evaluate a woman’s endometrial receptivity which is “how likely an embryo is to stick. The test is performed to help prevent implantation failure by identifying a woman’s unique and optimum “window of implantation.” After doing this, I had a successful pregnancy with frozen embryo transfer.

In IVF, eggretrieval, fertilization and transfer seems to be the most expensive at around 15k but it could be higher nowadays. When you already have the embryo, or 2nd time IVF, the procedure costs less at around 5k or 10k if you consider genetic testing as well. There are also storage costs involved costing around $50 per month and it might also depend on the type, if egg, sperm or embryo. We only stored embryos.

Multiple embryo transfer did not work for me and I experienced of what seemed to be blighted ovum then I experienced miscarriage afterwards. Better rto have sisngle embryo transfer and have a successful pregnancy.

Dr. Robin is a very great doctor! She is knowledgeable, experienced and caring. That to me is the greatest combination for me to have felt comfortable in this sensitive situation. Dr. Robin, in the time of Covid, realized the delicate situations, made recommendations for my needs, I followed her instructions and they worked! Just as she said they would! The first consultation was me trying to decide between her clinic and another one for treatment and upon meeting her i immediately knew that New Hope was it for me! I now have a beautiful baby boy because of the way God used this magnificent woman!! Dr. Robin, I just love you!!!

Follow all her advices, recommendations and instructions! She knows what she is saying.

She recommended that I first do a hysterescopy to check for polyps and clear the area of my uterus. She recommended also the temp of one of my folopiam tubes that was blocked because she didn’t want fluid from it draining down during my pregnancy because it could cause a miscarriage. She stimulated my eggs with something to increase the growth of my eggs in my ovaries. Then there was the egg retrieval. My husband provided his sperm and they fertilized the eggs and we got 12 embryos! Because i developed OSS, my embryo transfer date was put off. Transfer later happened. I transferred 2 embryos. I was warned of the risks of multiple pregnancy. My pregnancy was successful on the first try and we were so excited!!

Ultimately invert $10,000

None.

She was quirky and funny she made us laugh and feel comfortable she knew exactly how to deliver our test results and explained them thoroughly. She answered all of our questions she made it feel like a safe space and didn’t judge us or make us feel unimportant

Be prepared for her sense of humor and her direct approach

My initial cost was $300 which would be applied towards my fertility treatment after my testing was completed I was quoted a few different prices for different procedures for the dr and I to look at and decide which would be most beneficial to me everything was labeled and spelled out so that there were no hidden fees

She is a very personable and smart fertility physician. I genuinely believe that she has our best interest at heart. She has always talked through our successes and failures in a way that is easily understood.

Request as many 1 on 1 consult opportunities as possible/needed. The consults have provided me with the best information and she is very knowledgeable in my case.

Antagon protocols were used for both of my egg retrievals. I did have mild OHSS in both of my cases but was followed closely for any worsening symptoms.

Insurance has helped with the costs of my fertility care. I have had 2 egg retrievals and 3 embryo transfers under 8k total.

Single embryo transfers were recommended as opposed to multiple embryo transfers.

She is very thorough and listens to concerns. Adjusting protocols as necessary. Really wants to see you have a happy ending. She is t afraid to stop and give you a hug if things don’t go as planned and I love that about her

Start saving your money now. Write down all the questions you might have

Oh my gosh - so expensive. Almost $20,000 for egg retrieval. Very high storage fees

We haven’t done any transfers yet

Everything with Dr Robin has been great. She has been honest and realistic about expectations. When treatment did not yield desired results she consulted with us and adjusted treatment plan accordingly.

Write down all questions before each appt so that you know what you want addressed and do not forget

Well oiled machine

Self pay. No insurance

Dr. Robin is the SWEETEST lady. She genuinely cares about your overall well being. Her knowledge impresses me every single time. She continuously checks in and makes sure no patient falls through the cracks.

She will answer any and every question you have. They will send a follow up note if needed, but we typed important info on the notes app while talking

Dr. Robin was amazing at pivoting when needed and made sure the protocol was tailor made for us as a couple. We tried various meds for IUI including Pregnyl, Letrozole, and Metformin. For IVF, there are SO many medications, but that is typical for this type of treatment. I don't remember them all off the type of my head.

IVF was mid to upper $20,000's. IUI was $300ish first cycle and $800 the second cycle. The testing varied. Receptiva $600. Hysteroscopy was $740. Appointments have been $50 each this year with insurance.

We have not gotten to this stage yet
