Describe your experience with your nurse at Conceptions Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: McKinzie)
My care coordinator was sometimes slow to respond and the calendar was sometimes unclear. My assigned IVF coordinator was very kind and helpful.
Describe your experience with Conceptions Fertility Center.
Very willing to work with us, and I had several emergencies that were all handled well. They use an app for your calendar, lab results, billing, and messaging people, and the app was sometimes unclear which was frustrating. I found an inconsistency in a contract and they were open with me about not being sure how to resolve it and that they would ask and get it cleared up for me. I was not given great instructions about who to contact for what and had to figure that out for myself. I wish the website was a little more clear as well, especially with pricing breakdowns and FAQs.
However, we are so glad that we picked them. They were the most affordable place for us and gave us options on how to pay (plan vs upfront). We had a successful egg retrieval and I am five weeks pregnant with the first embryo we transferred. The staff was always happy to help. I always got good answers to my questions. Many of the staff know me and my name, which feels so personal and assuring. It is a smaller, newer clinic, and I think in some ways they're still working out the bugs, but it felt personal and like the staff all cared about us and our journey.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Jamie Peregrine at Conceptions Fertility Center.
$10,500 for egg retrieval with ICSI included as needed, $3,500 per transfer. We received a 10% discount for paying upfront.

Dr. Peregrine is amazing Doctor and person. She not only gives extremely thorough care and explanations to everything but she is a doctor I felt emotionally safe with. She is caring on a level that most doctors are not and she truly is invested in the success of her patients. She is gives you all of the possible/probable outcomes of your care and respects whatever decision you choose to make. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field of practice and makes sure you know everything you need to in order to make informed decisions. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing infertility care.

Dr. Peregrine cares about her patients more then any other Doctor I have interacted with. She made sure we were comfortable with next steps every step of the way for our IUI. When it came time to inseminate or not she let us know our small risk of multiples and what that could mean as well. She not only made sure we were well informed but made sure we felt seen and heard.
Describe the protocols Jamie Peregrine used in your cycles at Conceptions Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We had more mature follicles then expected on our IUI cycle as a result of a slightly higher dose of antagonist medications due to a poor response my first IUI. We were able to get pregnant on this IUI with our twins with a 22% chance of twins and a 15% chance of achieving a pregnancy at all with IUI.

Dr. Peregrine was patient, understanding, answered questions and gave diagnosis and advice clearly.
Describe the protocols Jamie Peregrine used in your cycles at Conceptions Fertility Center and their degree of success.
I don't remember specific protocols used, but she started with lots of testing. I was diagnosed with Asherman syndrome early on and had to have a hysteroscopy to remove wxcessive scar tissue in the uterus. I then had to come in every few days of a while afterward to have a procedure to keep the scar tissue broken up during the healing process, which took 6 weeks. She also found low ovarian reserves and we started with multiple over-the-counter vitamins to improve fertility and combined that with timed and frequent intercourse. After a few months without success, we took another prescribed fertility drug, which worked to get pregnant on the first try. We could have done things faster, but I decided to start with less invasive treatments first and she supported that.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Conceptions Fertility Center.
They were quick to answer questions and proficient with diagnostics and collecting samples. There was a mixup with the lab at one point, but they cleared it up quickly once I called them. They were kind and I felt close to all of them by the end of my treatment.

Describe the protocols Jamie Peregrine used in your cycles at Conceptions Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We tried clomid and then letrozole cycles without iui, then tried medicated letrozole with trigger shots iui cycles. Each cycle we made slight dosage adjustments as needed. We started with the least invasive and inexpensive options and testing first before eventually moving onto ivf once we felt ready. Dr. Peregrine was great to explain the pros and cons of every option and choice.

Our medicated iui cycles were very affordable, usually around $400 including medication. The ivf cycle and retrieval was definitely more costly and harder to afford.

During the whole process she used statistics to help us understand our chances and risks.
