Courtney Failor

Dr. Failor is a great doctor. She is empathetic and informative and relays information very well. She is easy to contact and talk to and explains each step of the procedures and plans very well. The only negative is that the clinic is often busy so some of my appointments were very quick.

ASK QUESTIONS!

With my GYN I tried clomid, and when I came to Dr. Failor she had stated after testing that IVF seemed to be my highest percentage of conceiving. First we had to have surgery for uterine polyps, then we began IVF. My dosage was low as she thought we would be successful on a low dose (due to being 26 with no sign of anovulation or dimished ovarian reserve). For my egg retrieval I was on Gonal F, Menopur, and ganirelix. We retrieved 26 eggs, 19 fertilized, and 10 made it to day 5 blastocyst. We were about to start prepping for my FET however due to coronavirus this has been postponed.

I loved Dr Failor. She was very gentle, never judgemental and always took the time to answer my questions when I didn’t exactly understand. She never tried to push me into any treatment when I wasn’t ready to start.

I would tell them to be themselves and ask questions about anything you don’t understand.

I did one cycle of invocell with dr Failor. I cannot remember the prescription names used but it was a low dose cycle. We used clomid, and stimmed for 9 days, I think. 8 eggs retrieved and inserted into invocell device. At removal we had 2 healthy embryos that we fresh transferred. And one embryo that didn’t grow past day 4. My transfer resulted in a positive pregnancy test, both embryos implanted but only one progressed. Had a healthy baby boy exactly 8 months to the date after transfer. Delivered early due to preeclampsia.

I paid 8k for one cycle of invocell not including some testing before cycle began, and pregnancy ultrasounds

I do wish we had discussed this topic more in depth. I did not want a multiple pregnancy but it was only discussed on the day of transfer how many we would want to transfer. I would have liked to have been told more in detail about the dangers of multiple embryo transfer before having to make that decision in somewhat of a hurry.

I had to go over my story with insurance with her staff and they still didn’t get it I started with them in feb got my appt in late March and then I became eligible another insurance right before a cycle and they wouldn’t do the cycle so I had to skip it . That was may 3rd so since it was so close to my cycle date they did nothing but kept me on esterace . On may 20th I sent an email asking if they had verified my insurance and got no not yet. I emailed may 31 st that my cycle started and they said well your Insurance hasn’t been verified to stay on esterace and we will try next cycle . So I sent an email to their coordinator and she says well sorry we went from internally doing benefits to someone or something else doing it and we pulled it today 06/02/2021 and your coordination of benefits isn’t set up (which I did the first day I got the insurances BECAUSE I work for an insurance company so I know whAt to do ) . Sorry is not enough for them not caring about something that means the world to someone else . I have been beyond patient I have wasted 4 months on them and I gave them all my tests all my Info so I didn’t have to re do anything and I am in the same place I started with nothing to even show for this time . It’s one thing to have a cycle stopped because of an issue but it’s a whole different type of feeling when it had nothing to do with me but their staff.

To be honest I do not trust someone I have to repeat repeatedly the same information in different calls . I also explained I did not want my time wasted and it seems they wanted to show me and they did . They didn’t care I’m just another woman trying to have a baby and their bottom line is money .

I did not get a rational . My first fertility dr wasn’t going to give me birth control because I don’t ovulate and a higher dose of fertility meds but dr failor wanted to put me on birth control and a lower dose of the fertility meds . Talk about different approaches drs take .

There was the medications and the one televisit that I had to wait a whole month to do . No other visits

I don’t never got to it their staff made sure of that

Dr. Failor has been a wonderful doctor so far. Like expressed before she is great at presenting information and answering all questions. She is also a great at providing outside resources to look over. She is kind, gentle and understanding when she speaks.

Come prepared with questions you would like to ask. Ask about methods of treatment and what she would do differently if complications were to occur.

She always reviewed all options with me. Always discussed everything even when I did my own research. Hugged me when we went for sono and there was no baby. Talked me through my D&C. Not always the warmest but there were times I was very quiet too. When I had to get a D&C, I saw more of her wariness. I would recommend her!

Always do your research, and ask questions

First cycle IUI was with clomid, 2nd IUI we used Letrazole. I got ovidrel trigger shot before each time. Lots of cramping from the clomid tight before IUI, none with Letrazole. Baby asa during whole process. Lovenox after positive pregnancy test due to my clotting disorder.

Copays for the sono, medications and iui

Dr. Failor is great. I do recommend asking any questions that you have a long the way. She is thorough and empathetic. I would recommend her and have full trust in her for my treatments. She is knowledgeable on the processes and immediately gains trust.

Ask questions as well as make her aware of your expectations from the start and along the way.

We love dr. Failor, she was honest and compassionate. We didn’t get the results we were expecting but she let us know very quickly what we could do or try for our next round of IVF and continued to check in on us

Be open and ask all the questions you want!

We did Invocell after meds, all the pre op blood work we spent about 14,000$

We did not have any fertilized eggs make it to embryo stage
