Describe the protocols Angela Leung used in your cycles at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey and their degree of success.
3 rounds IUI-don’t remeber any details
1 egg retrieval- 150iu of follistim ( which was lowered to 75 after 3 days) cetrotide, menopur and leuoprolide trigger. Retrieved 34 eggs only 10 fertilized and only 3 genetically normal
Round 2- started follistim at 75iu, the idea was to not over stimulate me like the 1st time in hopes for better quality. Only retrieved 12 and only 3 fertilized. 0 genetically normal
Round 3- set to over stimulate again
FET- medicated cycle- resulted in miscarriage at 10 weeks
FET2- medicated cycle - resulted in chemical pregnancy ( thought was ectopic. For a while)

To remember that while the doctors do what they can to produce a child, but this process is still considered young and new facts develop everyday about how to treat women. Allow science to take over understand that science is trial and error. Make peace with the process that is being controlled by the knowledgeable doctors.

How was your experience with Angela Leung at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
I was immensely grateful to have Dr. Leung as my specialist from our very first meeting. She was of course knowledgable about the IVF process and what it would mean for my husband and I, emotionally, financially, and physically - but she was able to speak to the process in a way that was both relatable and easier to understand. She gave us comfort in times of stress, and her bedside manner honestly felt like I was going in to see a friend.

She took the time to answer my husband and my questions from our first consultation, right through my last visit, no matter how trivial the question was. She always made me feel secure and was sensitive to my nervousness throughout the process. Dr. Leung, even took the time during her vacation to check in with me after egg retrieval and explain next steps. I appreciate how thoughtful she was in creating a bond with me during my time at RMA, I truly believe her easing my nerves helped us be successful in our embryo transfer.

Weaknesses: Some doctor's and nurses do not show empathy and/or are very cut and dry in their delivery of results (preference of bedside manner)
Dr. Leung was incredibly informative, and left us feeling empowered throughout the process...Dr. Leung ended up adjusting my medication types and amounts during the egg retrieval process because I ended up being very sensitive to the medication. She absolutely did the right thing by making those changes, because my egg retrieval was hugely successful and I won't have to repeat it. Using the ICSI method and doing PGT & other testing also allowed us to get top quality embryos, that clearly will stick when transferred. She's an expert...
When you first start at RMA, you might feel like one of many people simply because the morning monitoring process is quick, you might not see your doc every time and there's lots of other people there. But once you start communicating with your nurse and get a rapport going with your team, that will get better as you get used to the appointments...We felt taken care of through the whole process! And that's super important considering how much time you end up communicating with your nurse vs anyone else at the clinic....
How was your experience with Angela Leung at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey?
To put it simply, Dr. Leung expertly created a medication plan that resulted in a highly successful egg retrieval, multiple embryos for future transfer, and most importantly, a top-quality embryo that stuck on the first transfer, and we're now expecting our first child. Dr. Leung was incredibly informative, and left us feeling empowered throughout the process. We can't thank her enough for keeping us confident, comforted, and ultimately getting us to exactly where we wanted to be at the end of the summer: headed into our second trimester. I don't have enough great things to say about our experience with her.

Describe Angela Leung's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
At first I'll admit I was a little bummed that having twins was not a possibility with IVF (I wasn't eligible for IUI because we needed to do single gene testing on our embryos) but honestly, being pregnant with ONE baby is simpler and less risky than being pregnant with multiples...so ultimately I completely agree with RMA's motto of birthing 1 healthy baby at a time. It does make sense.
Dr. Leung made me and my husband feel so comfortable and cared for. She took her time with us during the initial appointment. We never felt rushed, she answered our questions honestly and always provided us with hope. Working with Dr. Leung from start to finish made me feel like I was always in good hands...She gives off great energy; she's calm, informative, patient and genuine.
The clinic was great. The portal is so convenient and the staff was very quick to either answer your questions, or get back to you right away.

Chinue was assigned to me after my initial nurse went on leave. From the beginning, Chinue was educated on my case, and always called/left messages to keep me updated and informed on my treatment. She was so attentive, so warm, and I felt like she genuinely cared and wanted the best for me. In times I was anxious or stressed, I would reach out to her and her response time was always quick, and she communicated in such a warm, compassionate way. I trusted in Chinue and she helped relieve a lot of my anxiety during this process.I was very grateful to work with Chinue.

I felt like I was her only patient (which Obviously I was not) and that she always had time for me...
My nurse Alyssa [at RMA of New Jersey] is amazing. She would always call me the MINUTE results were in so I never had to worry.

Starting with our very first consultation with her, she explained every step, every option, and every alternative we faced in a clear and easy-to-understand way.

From the nurses to the phlebotomists, ultrasound technicians, financial coordinators, and receptionists, everyone was warm, welcoming, and supportive.

Be it a phone call or an email, she made sure we knew she was rooting for us and there to answer any questions.
With our first little one on the way, we have nothing but positive things to say about the entire RMA team. And when we're ready for baby #2, we know exactly who we'll be turning to.

You should absolutely feel empowered to ask questions. If you don't understand something, just say so and she'll make sure she explains it in a different way so that you do.

Given my husband's infertility, we needed donor sperm. After having weighed out the physical, emotional, and monetary differences between IUI and IVF — and accounting for the fact that I am still in my early 30s with healthy and clear ovaries, we decided to start with IUI. The plan was to do 3-4 rounds before jumping to IVF. Luckily, we got pregnant from the second round of IUI.

She wasn't one to sugar coat (which I appreciated as I'm all about managing expectations) nor did she have a dooms-day attitude by any means. Instead, she explained the facts and the figures as she knew them. She never made us feel like our questions were stupid or too small to address — many of which I know I asked multiple times. And while she offered her expert guidance and kind support, she always made it feel like my husband and I were in control of our journey. When we wanted to start treatment, how many rounds of IUI we'd be able to stomach before perhaps turning to IVF, etc. I felt heard and I very much appreciated that.
Throughout our fertility journey, we were supported by a wonderful team at both the RMA Basking Ridge and West Orange locations. From the nurses to the phlebotomists, ultrasound technicians, financial coordinators, and receptionists, everyone was warm, welcoming, and supportive. While I didn't see Dr. Leung much outside the consultations and IUI procedures, she always checked in. Be it a phone call or an email, she made sure we knew she was rooting for us and there to answer any questions.
With our first little one on the way, we have nothing but positive things to say about the entire RMA team. And when we're ready for baby #2, we know exactly who we'll be turning to.

Angela recommended IVF due to my DOR. This was because we wanted multiple children. It made sense to me and my husband. However with our insurance, we needed to do 3 IUIs prior in order to qualify for some IVF coverage.
We ended up getting pregnant with our second IUI with letrozole and a trigger.
