Dr. Martini performed 2 egg retrievals (ER) on me and both times she couldn't retrieve any eggs EVEN though there were several. Her reason was my ovary was inaccessible due to my introverted uterus...45 yr old...wish she was honest with her skillset and declined to perform my ER
CCRM needs to be clear and honest that they do not have qualified doctors...that they cannot do egg retrieval on introverted uterus or ovaries that are not perfect...best thing with this clinic is all the nurses and ultrasound staff were wonderful...Sydney and other nurses were great
How was your experience with Anne Martini at CCRM Northern Virginia?
Dr. Martini performed 2 egg retrievals (ER) on me and both times she couldn't retrieve any eggs EVEN though there were several. Her reason was my ovary was inaccessible due to my introverted uterus!. Well, before I came to CCRM, I had 7 other ER's at different clinics and there was no problem. Obviously, Dr. Martini wasn't well trained for older patients (45 yr old ) like me or someone who doesn't have perfect young ovaries. Imagine doing all the hard work, paying lots of money, spending lots of time for meds injection and monitoring and in the end you get an incompetent, inexperienced doctor that couldn't even get 1 follicle out of you !!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anne Martini at CCRM Northern Virginia?
Stay away from Dr. Martini. Both times in a row, she couldn't retrieve any follicle from my ovary due to my introverted uterus. Other clinics never had a problem, except her. It's clearly she's a pretty junior doctor and never worked on advanced cases or older patients.

Describe the protocols Anne Martini used in your cycles at CCRM Northern Virginia and their degree of success.
Both times I was told by Dr. Martini that my uterus was introverted therefore egg retrieval failed miserably- none was retrieved. But I wish she was honest with her skillset and declined to perform my ER and just let other experienced doctors do it. I felt like she was using me to learn and gain experience. I felt like a number to her. She's clearly not qualified to go ER.

Describe your experience with CCRM Northern Virginia.
CCRM needs to be clear and honest that they do not have qualified doctors. They also need to be clear that they cannot do egg retrieval on introverted uterus or ovaries that are not perfect. The only best thing with this clinic is all the nurses and ultrasound staff were wonderful! I would not do any business with CCRM at all due to how expensive they are.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at CCRM Northern Virginia.
So I have an introverted uterus and I had done many egg retrievals at other fertility clinics in virginia. These clinics were able to retrieve my eggs from both ovaries. When I was 40, I produced 34 eggs for each cycle and did 3 cycles with Shady Grove. They were able to get all the follicles, but they stimulated me too high that killed my eggs. Regardless, other fertility clinics had no problem accessing and retrieving my follicles from both of my ovaries. So after all that, I decided to go to CCRM and my last 2 egg retrievals (ER) with Dr. Martini was a huge disaster!! My first natural IVF Egg Retrieval with her, she said, she pushed my belly and somehow my follicle popped and they couldn’t get the egg and this was beyond awful. Because I wanted to get the lead follicle so bad and that was the point of a Natural IVF! OK, so I said, ok bad luck happens. Then I decided to do a regular IVF with CCRM. So I had 6 good size follicles in both of my ovaries and today she said she couldn’t access my left ovary because it was behind my uterus or whatever. So she couldn’t get any at all where I had all my good mature follicles resided at. I did all this and until the ER, and I was told by Dr. Martini that she couldn’t access my left ovary? Seriously? What if all of my follicles were in my left ovary then I should expect going under anesthesia and get no follicles retrieved or be told that my ovary is not accessible? Clearly, other clinics were able to access my ovaries but just not Dr. Martini. I meant, spending the time, money, health, effort and all went down the drain because of an incompetent, worthless doctor that couldn’t do an Egg Retrieval?
