[Dr. John Frattarelli] recommended transferring 2 of the untested embryos which resulted in both implanting but resulted in a vanishing twin. He educated us as to why that may have occured. The other embryo resulted in having trisomy 13 and severe abnormalities resulting in a loss after 18 weeks. My 2nd transfer was with 1 tested embryo but miscarried after 6 weeks. I was pleased with his approach but saddened that it didn’t succeed

Not much empathy when transfers failed or lining wasn’t getting thick enough. Sometimes I felt like he was trying to redirect me to other options, ie surrogacy. ... Dr. Fratteralli is very educated about the ivf process. However sometimes I felt just like a number because all my embryo transferred have failed thus far. ... So far 4 embryo transferred with 1 bfp that resulted in miscarriage. Getting ready for my next cycle.
My coordinator had the wrong transfer dates on my calendar. ... I had no problems with monitoring appointments. Sometimes they were running late but that happens anywhere. ... Staff is very efficient and organized. They also have several offices throughout the state of Hawai’i. They respond via email or phone call. The only “weakness” would be their main clinic is on Oahu, so outer islanders still have to pay for travel expenses. But the clinic will try and accommodate your schedule.

She was really professional she got me a cab in 10mins, told me it’s ok to be late for my appointment. She is always so kind, being just like my sister or mom(I mean she is much younger than that!) .

Describe the protocols John Frattarelli used in your cycles at Fertility Institute of Hawaii and their degree of success.
I did consultation with him at his office. First we tried timed intercourse using an app for fertility. Afterwards I was tested for Tubal blockage and that result was that my right tube is blocked. With that information I scheduled and underwent a surgery to look at my tubes and only one was blocked that was a repairable tubal blockage and that result was that my right tube is blocked. With that information I scheduled and underwent a surgery to look at my tubes and only one was blocked that was not repairable, so it was severed and now I only have one presumably working tube. Subsequently after the surgery, I stopped getting my periods which was concerning, but Dr. Frattarellis said that was most likely my PCOS that was affecting my cycles. That resulted in my need to take ovulation prescriptions for each IUI. So far, I have not conceived.
