John Norian

Dr. Norian is very kind and is a good communicator. He likes to use drawings to explain things which is very helpful especially to someone like me because I am a visual learner. He is always in a good mood. He is compassionate but also straight forward and easy to understand. I have never felt pressured or afraid to ask questions. I feel that he welcomes questions and truly listens to understand me. He is not a pushy doctor which I appreciate although I do feel that sometimes it is necessary to be a little more aggressive. Every visit is personal to him and he takes time to get to know his clients. I have always felt like he genuinely cares about my concerns and he tailors his solutions to me personally.

Do not be afraid to ask questions. Infertility and all that comes with it can be confusing and it is okay to feel like you need more information or clarification. Dr Norian does not shy away from the difficult or repeat questions.

When I met Dr. Norian I let him know that I could not afford IVF just yet and that I was most concerned with learning why I was struggling to conceive. He took my concerns to heart and started with blood work, ultrasounds, hsg, along with semen analysis for my husband. He diagnosed me with mild pcos, anovulatory cycles, and some male factor infertility (low motility and low morphology). I was happy to learn after HSG that I did not have Fallopian tube blockages. He first suggested a healthy diet change and adding vitamins to help with hormone balances for my husband and I. After changing our diets the semen analysis was much better than before although still a little low on morphology and motility, but good enough to start with a medicated IUI. I was prescribed Menopur, Pregnyl, Clomid, to make sure that I would ovulate and Progesterone, for after the IUI. I had multiple vaginal ultrasounds to monitor while on pills and injections. I was thankful for the ultrasounds to monitor because he checks for progress and makes sure you are not overreacting to the medication. When I had good sized follicles, we scheduled IUI. He completed another ultrasound and then the IUI, which was very quick and painless. I then started the progesterone and was told to take well into pregnancy if successful or to stop it if I got my period. Unfortunately right at the 28th day of my cycle I got my period, which meant my IUI failed. Dr. Norian scheduled a follow up with me to discuss our next steps. Since I did react positively to the treatment and the SA showed strong count and improvement in morphology and motility, Dr. Norian recommended we continue with a few more rounds of IUI before moving on to IVF.

Dr Norian is a very personable and quirky man. Right off the bat, we hit it off. We knew very little coming into this and after talking to him the first time, we felt like we understood the path we would be taking. He is very knowledgable and listens very well. He even came to our appointment with visuals and easy to understand information. He tried to get to know us more on a personal level and remember little tid bits that we discussed from our last appointments. He would explain everything before he did anything and would ease into any procedure. He made me feel very comfortable when at our appointments and would try to explain everything in terms that we could understand. When we had a financial issue, he worked with us the best that he could and I couldn’t thank him more for that!

Write down all of your questions/concerns before your appointments. Sometimes you’ll forget everything when you’re in the actual appointment. Don’t be afraid to ask “dumb” questions. He understands and doesn’t make you feel like these are dumb questions. He will answer to the best of his ability and will answer any clarifying questions. Trust the process.

We did a very basic and simple approach with regards to protocols due to male factor infertility, my age, and no female pre existing conditions. Our first fresh transfer was a success with my daughter! We transferred two embryos each time. Progesterone in oil, estradiol, endometrium, Delestrogen, Medrol were all used for my transfers. The frozen transfers after my singleton was born, were fairly easy and straightforward, but they concluded with one miscarriage and one negative pregnancy. For the 2nd transfer that concluded in a miscarriage, the only thing changed was a endo scratch.

The costs are pretty average with regards to fertility treatments. Our personal cost was on the lower end due to it being a basic protocol. Cost of IVF procedure, egg retrieval, anesthesia, ICSI, standard labs, one pregnancy test were all in one price and meds were a separate fee.

Our doctor was very weary of transferring more than one embryo. Two was the absolute max he would transfer for us. Our last frozen transfer, we had 3 embryos left and we opted to choose the best two embryos after that thaw to transfer. That transfer ended in a unexplained miscarriage.

Dr. Norian is everything you could hope for in a doctor. He is personable, involved, caring, and highly intelligent. He is very "hands on" and performs every procedure personally. He cares about his patients and uses his expertise to assist them with their reproductive needs. On a more personal level, I came to Dr. Norian with high hopes, despite my age. After researching, reading reviews, and even several consultations with different doctors, I decided Dr. Norian was my best chance of conceiving. I am so pleased to report that my trust was not misplaced, because I am currently pregnant after one egg retrieval, and one embryo transfer. I highly recommend Dr. John Norian and HRC.

Do your research, but ultimately, listen to Dr. Norian. This is his life's work, and he knows what he is doing.

For my egg retrieval, I had 5-6 follicles at baseline. I started out with 225iu of both Follistim and Menopur. On the third day, I added .25mL of Omnitrope. After my second monitoring ultrasound on day six, my dosage of Menopur was increased to 300iu. I believe I started Ganirelix on day six. All meds continued until day 11, and I triggered with HCG on day 12, with my ER the following day. I had ten follicles at my last monitoring appointment on day eight. However, I was pleasantly surprised when 14 eggs were retrieved. Nine eggs were mature, six were fertilized successfully with ICSI, and five made it to blast by day seven. After a short wait of about a week, I received the phone call saying that one of my blastocysts was normal and approved for transfer! Because I only had one chance, I opted to do an ERA cycle prior to my embryo transfer. Dr. Norian routinely does six days of PIO, when many other doctors only do five. Even with this extra day of medication, my ERA revealed that I was slightly pre-receptive and required another 12 hours of PIO - 6.5 days, total. The very next cycle was my embryo transfer, and despite my high anxiety, it went very smoothly. After four days, I had a positive home pregnancy test! My official beta at HRC was positive, too, and my HCG rose adequately.

I requested a pricing list from their financial advisors and I received very detailed cost breakdowns of the different packages and payment options that they had available. The overall cost is more expensive than some other clinics, but the care provided by Dr. Norian is more than worth it.

Personally, since I had only one normal blastocyst, I did not have the option of transferring multiple embryos, but Dr. Norian did say that I was a candidate for multiple embryo transfer because of my age and history.

Dr. Norian is great at communicating sensitive news. I felt that he was always careful in how he said things. I also felt that at time because he was trying to be sensitive to your feelings he wasn’t being absolutely honest just how bad things might be. Overall, he is great Dr and makes you feel so hopeful and wants to help you achieve pregnancy and eventually a live birth.

One major word of advice is to seek all the “what if’s” we went into this so hopeful and then when we faced loss we did not know how to handle it.

My first cycle treatment was pretty much standard. I used progesterone and estrogen shots. After the 1st miscarriage because I had a lot of blood cots. He tested and was a little more aggressive with medication. I was even placed on blood thinners to help ease any clots.

The total cost in the office was 16,800 and medications were another 4,000 dollars. Then after my first transfer Ended in a miscarriage the second transfer resulted in another cost of almost 4,000 with medication. So, overall we spent about $25,000 on treatments.

Dr. Norian was very open about single vs. multiple births. He went through the risks and informed you. He ultimately gives you the choice of what you want to transfer.

He was the first doctor to get a positive result. During our treatment we had to cancel and start another protocol. While I was upset at first about this he took the time to explain the why behind the decision. He did give me he choice as a patient to continue the treatment without change but made sure I knew why he recommended the new protocol. His bedside manner was nothing but great. I truly believe he treated me on an individual case. There was noting cookie cutter about his treatment plan. I’ve never felt that way with previous doctors.

Dr. Norian has a large client base and it can take some time to be seen. Allow yourself extra time when visiting the clinic.

Unsure

About $1500 out of pocket because of insurance coverage.

Because of our prior IVF’s he was comfortable doing a multiple embryo transfer. He did explain that isn’t the norm for him but he does take in account your age and prior treatments.

Dr. Norian from my experience would usually say like over all I’m pleased with the result when he checked my blood works, follicles. I also had a couple of blood work results that were a bit abnormal and he would point it out to me and prescribed me a medication and coach me on lifestyle changes that I needed to do. He would give feedbacks like that. Sometimes or some tests he failed to give me feedback so that’s when I have to initiate and ask him things like what do you think of my husband’s sperm analysis result, how are my follicles responding to the treatment. I am still half way through my IVF process but I am pleased in general with how Dr. Noraian is managing my treatment.

Do your research in advance if you can because Dr. Norian or even most doctors I think, don’t really give a detailed explanation of everything in the process and if they do you will most probably be overwhelmed while in the clinic. Also make make a list of the questions you might have for Dr. Norian and his team.

Birth control pills for about 2 weeks, then injections for about 10 days. Follistim, menopur. Ganirelix was added in the last few days. Trigger shot was lupron. Mood swings, fatigue and mild OHSS towards egg retrieval day and after were the side effects that I experienced.

Their monitoring is in the mornings. Weekend monitoring is in another branch about about 30 miles away

$17,000+ including PGS ,ICSI but not including meds and mock IVF

Dr. Norian is very honest and will definitely let you know how things are going. During my cycle leading to a retrieval I had to call him on weekends and at night and he was always there to pick up the phone. After I was confirmed pregnant, I called him for a concern I had at 8pm on his vacation and he was quick to answer the phone and help. I would say one of his weaknesses is running late in the office. He has started to get more popular and the office seems more busy now, which causes him to run late with appointments. I still think it’s a good thing, because that means he doesn’t just rush you out of his office when you have questions or concerns.

Ask a lot of questions. Make sure to write down answers if you need it or have them email you information so that it is in writing.

Dosages were adjusted as I went through the retrieval process. He was very careful not to over stimulate. I expressed my concerns regarding that matter. A previous doctor had over stimulated and then cancelled my treatment. He knew I was very worried about this happening and he always kept me up to date with dosages and provided reasoning as to why he was decreasing or increasing meds.

Scheduling was a bit of a nightmare because you had to go in before 11:00 am to get blood results that afternoon. Ultrasounds were all done around the same time. If the time wasn’t available in afternoon you have to take off work and come during not so favorable hours.

I went in months before my treatment and prices were going to go up. I ended up paying for treatment 3 months before. I paid a total of 18,800 to the clinic. Then another 3,200 for medication. Now the prices have been raised. I will be going back for more treatments.

Dr. Norian is not a fan of transferring more than one embryo. He will of course do what you want, but does provide you with information why transferring more than one embryo is considered a high risk.

Dr. Norian has great bed side manners and spends every appointment with you. He does every ultrasound and reviews results with you every time you go in. He answers questions in a knowledgeable but patient friendly way. He is blunt and to the point, so he does not sugar coat anything which can be emotional but I appreciated so I did not ever have too high of hopes/positivity for things. I always had a realistic view of everything that was going to happen and what the possibly outcomes could be.

Ask ALL the questions and do not be afraid to speak your mind.

Aggressive IUI, hoping to turn into IVF since I started with only 1 follicle and a low estrogen and AMH level. My protocol was Menopur 225 (3) and Gonal F 225 for the first 10 days. Was supposed to add Centrotide on day 6 if I had been responding well, which I wasn’t so we continued with the original dosage until day 8, but I am still not responding well. Continuing until day 10 and then deciding if we will continue with IUI or cancel the cycle.

I came in already having been treated elsewhere so my diagnosis was done outside of this clinic. I don’t feel that I learned anything new being under his care. He seemed to be a very skilled doctor from the times we met with him. The medical treatment was not unlike our other experiences.

Make sure to have your questions written so that when you get time to talk to the doctor you will not forget what you wanted to ask.

We did Gonal F 225mg and Menopur 225mg-300mg for 9 days. Novarel on day 10 and Cetrotide for 5 days. Doxycline a day before the retrieval for 5 days. We started a few meds a day after egg retrieval that included progesterone in oil, endometrin, estradiol, Medrol dose pack. I would have liked a rationale for using this protocol from the doctor but mostly the nurse would just tell me what we were doing with not too much explanation.

Procedure was like $12k. Medication was about $6k.

At first I was extremely nervous about what to expect from a fertility specialist and honestly expecting the worst outcome, that being that I won’t be able to have children with and without treatment. Dr Norian and his team put all those fears and worries to rest. The nurses are very comforting and friendly. Dr Norian was also comforting along with delivering the truth about my condition and treatments that would help us conceive. I really appreciate the empathic approach they have especially when infertility is a complete roller coaster of emotions.

Don’t be shy. If you have questions make sure to write them down before the consultation. The information given at the appointment can be extremely overwhelming and you might forget some of the important questions you have. He’s very open and understanding so don’t be afraid to ask about anything on your mind.

My Fallopian tubes are no longer connected after a surgery. Dr Norian suggested FET IVF and gave us all the statistics relating to it and said I’d be a great candidate but being that I’m going to be 35 soon we need to start right away. He gave me an ultrasound which we found a small polyp and soo I was referred back to my OB to get that removed before we could move forward. We were able to remove it but unable to go back for treatment due to the fact my husband is military and was sent to Korea for a year.

We have insurance that cover consultation and some fertility medications. I’m unsure of the costs.

Dr. Norian has been very helpful. Although our IUI attempts haven't been successful, we continue to go to him because we're confident in his work. He is always very friendly and when he says he'll call us, he does, which makes us feel very comfortable with him. The one negative thing I can say about Dr. Norian is that he is always VERY busy. So sometimes when we are seeing him he is trying to get off to another patient, which makes it a little uncomfortable when you're asking a lot of questions, since my husband and I are fertility newbies. Overall, I really like Dr. Norian, which is why we continue to see him.

Be prepared to wait past the time of your appointment.

Dr. Norian recommended two IUI attempts. If neither was successful, we would do IVF, which is what we are currently doing.

IUI attempt -- $2000 IUI meds -- ~$500 IVF attempt (insurance coverage included) -- ~$4000 IVF Medications (some medication covered by insurance) -- ~$5000 PGS -- $5500

Dr. Norian is always on the side for Singleton births, it seems. But always discusses with his patients their thoughts.

Dr. Norian is kind and smart and was easy to talk to. He always addressed all of our questions with detail and patience. Dr. Norian explained all the options -- risks and gave his opinion on best course of treatment. In the operating room he was warm and made me feel comfortable even during a D&C. When any results become available Dr. Norian called himself and explained everything and made himself available for questions. He remained positive and was always optimistic. We have decided to switch Doctors/ clinics because in the end I did feel like he could have been more thorough and I believe things will missed and mismanaged.

I don't think I would recommend his practice -- if someone was set on going there I would advise them to ask lots of questions and push for more tests.

We did multiple embryo transfer and after the second miscarriage he suggested we leave the frozen embryo from the that retrieval and do a new retrieval with testing. I wish we did the testing from the start and wish that was suggested.

We have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Norian. My favorite is that he is very intelligent, well educated, and up to date on evidence based practice and research. It’s important to me that I feel my doctor knows what he’s doing and is up to date on the best options. Next, he is caring. He takes plenty of time with us at each visit to answer questions. We feel that he is truly warm, compassionate, and cares about our success with fertility!

Go to him!!! He is excellent and we trust him completely. Their office, staff, and nurses are great as well!

We are still in the process of our treatment - but are remaining hopeful and positive with the plan Dr Norian has layed out. We have both changed our diets and added specific vitamins. We have both received lab draws, an SA by my husband, and a U/S on me showing a threshold for PCOS. Metformin may possibly be added later. We have SGH scheduled followed by IUI depending on our results from above.

I do not know the specific costs of many items yet - but the staff is VERY understanding of financial concerns and help in any way possible. I am very thankful for that.

Not applicable

My dr is good with being analytical and to the point. Not very good with bedside manner. It’s a sensitive subject and sometimes you need to read your patients. When you are about to tell them they will not have a child on their own, it breaks them. This is regardless if ivf is the cure. We don’t look a ourselves as women anymore

Make sure you have support from your SO. Do not expect it from them and make sure you ask a lot of questions, it for st matter how weird it sounds coming out of your mouth

At first we tried letrezole for the IU I, then clomid for the next one. Then we tried femera, my pinning wasn’t thick enough so that cycle was canceled. Then we went to ivf and under went the stimming process, then went to injectable progesterone and vaginal progesterone, I was also on levothyroxine during the enmities process. Slowly that was increased

The IUis were around $900 each, we did 2, medication was about $300. The ivf cycle was $21000, and the medication after transfer was $1800

Both transfers felt the same, the second transfer was with 2 embryos

Dr. Norian pays great attention to detail and is very thorough. His office is very busy, but he is very informative. I rarely had questions when I left. If medication needed to be altered, he would make sure the correct dose was prescribe even if it was just a tiny alteration.

Listen to everything he has to say before you ask questions.

Dr. Norian strongly recommended transferring one embryo in my situation. We decided to transfer two, and I could tell he didn't agree with it, but he didn't push the subject too much.

Dr. Norian was very patient each time he seen me. He knew my test results and what to do to improve my numbers at each visit. Explained things in details and answered all our questions. He did all my ultrasounds and explained my process. The appointment after my negative pregnancy test result he was very informative on the next step and the possibilities of what may have gone wrong. He was very honest with us in explaining that he too was shocked at the negative pregnancy test as well as the team.

Do not go through their financing person Jessica O.

I was on Hormone injections to produce multiple Eggs and grow them to the right size for a egg retrieval. I was on suppositories towards the end and the 2 weeks after egg transfer. Dr. Norian had diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and put me on medication for that.

Clinic was very organized and never too crowded and never had to wait to long in the lobby

Roughly $25,000.00

Dr. Norian is strict about only transferring two embryos at a time and I think it’s wise

I loved that he was very clear in my chances, he told me the percentages of a pregnancy at my age and was very realistic. He is very knowledgeable and answered every question we had. Always recommended what was best for us in the end, we had some set backs and he was very thorough in explaining why things happened the way they did and would change my medications accordingly.

Trust is most important, we always felt he was very knowledgeable and very clear that this was not 100%. He is going to develop best plan for you, the rest is up to your body.

My first transfer was canceled after my blood draw, he recommended we cancel and said I was ovulating, sure enough the morning I was supposed to have my transfer I started my cycle. I was very greatful he cancelled in the end. The next cycle he started me on lupron and prepared me for my transfer and it worked!

He will counsel you on what is best and what he recommends but ultimately listens to you and your choice

Dr Norian has been a wonderful doctor. I see him every visit and he does every procedure himself. His dedication to his job and helping others is evident. Every morning he arrives at the Pasadena location to do surgery, egg retrieval's, and transfers. Directly after he leaves and makes it to the office by 8 AM in the morning. He works long hours and I have even had him call me after 6 PM. When I had many questions he either scheduled me for an appointment or spoke with me over the phone to answer all my questions. Unfortunately when I had a miscarriage, I was glad to have Dr Norian in my corner. He and his staff scheduled me for a D&C the next morning so I wouldn't have to wait the weekend. Dr Norian is my second RE I have seen for IVF and I wish he was the first stop I made in my journey. Hands down I'm in the right place at HRC.

Ask questions, anything on your mind. Dr Norian will put you at ease through this process.

For my first fresh cycle I was on bcp followed by stim protocol of menopur and follistim. I stopped ovulation with ganirelix and triggered with pregnyl. Great cycle 16 retrieved, 12 mature, 8 fertilized, and 6 made it to blasts. After retrieval I was on progesterone in ethyl olate- which I LOVE because it doesn't cause knots along with delestrogen injections and endometrin suppositories. For FET I was on estrogen suppositories, delestrogen, progesterone in ethyl olate, and endometrin.

Dr. Norian was very compassionate and explained everything every step of the way. After our first visit we left with a clear list of what we needed to do along with information on my diagnosis and possible ways for improvement and what procedures we could possibly do. Dr. Norian was never pushy and always left the decisions up to us, he even called me personally after hours to discuss some concerns and questions I had. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely be going back for baby #2!

You'll never be treated like something is wrong with you. Dr. Norian will make you feel part of the family and will really take the time getting to know you and your situation.

With Dr. Norian I was given letrozole on a monitored cycle. Once Dr. Norian confirmed my cycle was progressing I was given a trigger shot in which I went in for 2 back to back IUIs. Once pregnancy was confirmed I was placed on progesterone for my first trimester. Also to treat the PCOS I was placed on metformin, I also took prenatals (every day before the procedure for 2 months) and vitamin D.

My insurance did cover alot as the clinic was in my medical network. I believe our out of pocket cost for everything ended up being somewhere around $2500

Did not preform.

Dr.Norian is very direct while still being compassionate. He reviews everything you would need to know while not overwhelming you with information that could only cause worry and stress. He has always been available in times of need and has never made us feel like we were a number. We truly feel that he cares about us starting a family. During times of loss he prioritized my mental health, which I am extremely appreciative of.

Our first egg retrieval was an antagonist protocol- I stimmed for about 10 days. We used ICSI and PGS which resulted in 5 embryos. We transferred one embryo, but it was not successful. Our FET was 4 months later and I was on estrogen and progesterone. We transferred two embryos and we became pregnant with a singleton. We unfortunately lost our baby in the second trimester. Our second FET was 5 months after delivery and we transferred one embryo and were unsuccessful.

$17,000 for the IVF cycle including PGS testing, ICSI, the retrieval and freezing of embryos.

Dr.Norian educated us on one embryo versus two. He gave a recommendation of one embryo for our first transfer and two for our second. He was open to our decision for transferring two embryos and made sure we had discussed the options.

I was 24 years old when I met doctor Norman, during consult he told me I was young and I was putting too much pressure on myself. He recommended we do a ultrasound to check my follicle count. After he quickly diagnosed me with unexplained infertility I was disappointed and explained to him I know my body and I know I need help. He pretty much sent me on my way with brochures and paperwork on what I could try at home or pay the full price for In Vitro. I left the office feeling hopeless and even more confused. I doubted myself thinking perhaps I was putting a lot of pressure on myself. As a one income household, the $20,000 surgery was not in the cards for us. I am now 29 years old and still no baby and still having issues with my infertility. I would not come back to this office after my experience there.

Age doesn’t matter to anyone wanting a family. Don’t discourage women based on their age. Please be more compassionate and help families looking for help.

There was no strategy for my case, besides going home and relax when trying to convince and don’t stress.

I was given paperwork on In Vitro, from what I remember the cost was $20,000 +

Dr. Norian was the only doctor I saw while a patient at HRC. He knew everything about my treatment and was always ready to adjust our plan as needed. He was also friendly, gentle, and caring. He never made me feel uncomfortable or rushed through at any appointment

Be patient! He is the only doctor at his office but he will treat you kindly and spend as much time with you as needed. The one thing I will say is he does start with a sort of blanket treatment based on what he thinks your odds are and will move from there depending on how you react to treatment. My wife often got slightly annoyed by this, but it’s understandable. While treating me, he noticed I responded exceptionally well to mess and he worried about hyperstimulation a lot and tried not to be too aggressive in his approaches. So I’d say patience is needed because he is a bit cautious.

1st IUI we did the lowest does of clomid because I was young, and had a great uterus/cervix and Dr. Norian wanted to be calm in his approach if I didn’t need aggressive treatment. we also used a trigger shot to release eggs and then 2 rounds of insemination a day apart. Cycle 2 was the next lowest does of clomid so more drugs basically and then no trigger or insemination because I responded ok, but he couldn’t pinpoint a specific ovulation date and I seemed to ovulate in weird parts. Last IUI was a drug that treats breast cancer but is also good for fertility (forgot the name! Sorry!) this time it was slightly easier to find the ovulation And then inseminate. Again failing. A few months later we did IVF because Dr. Norian was worried about my ovulation disorder and so we we did a round of birth control and then we did Gonal-f, Menopur, and another drug over the course of 2 weeks, gonal-f and menopur for one week and then both and the other injection the second week. We then did the trigger shot and I had egg retrieval. Dr. Norian then had me do one more round of birth control to essentially start me over “fresh” as he said and then we did hormone therapy for 2 weeks with suppository endometrin 4 Times a day, (after a build up period) and then lozenges the week before actual transfer, methylpreslidone, and estrogen patches that I changed every three days. After transfer I did lozenges for a week and then when I got my positive test Dr. Norian had me begin taking progesterone in oil injection in my muscle because I had very low progesterone. We did that for I believe 4 weeks until the placenta had formed nicely and then he stopped me on oils and I just did endometrin for a few more days and then we tapered off to no progesterone!

Ultrasounds were $270 each The 2 day insemination was $900 I don’t remember the all inclusive IVF price but I believe it was ~$15,000 that included ultrasounds, bloodwork, pregnancy tests, the retrieval and the transfer as well as all of the egg insemination and one year of egg storage. Egg storage is $800 a year. I have 14 embryos in storage still since im a WARRIOR who will be doing this again soon!

Dr. Norian let us pick. We chose to do 2 embryos because we wanted to increase our chances and my wife reeeeeaally wanted twins

Dr. Norian actually had good bedside manner. He was very respectful when speaking with me although actually seeing him was scarce. The actual procedure itself yielded poor results than expected with no explanation. The most concerning part was that he stated he did not know what happened

Follistim, menopur, ganirilex for retrieval Progesterone injection and Endometrin suppositories for transfer

Spent upwards of 25k-30k total for 1 egg retrieval and 1 transfer

He is very knowledgable and very personable. I felt very comfortable with him. I had some complications related to my egg retrieval and he dropped everything and was there to help me without even needing an appointment. I'll never forget that. We did not ultimately get the result we had hoped for, but he never made me feel like he was giving up on us. He presented us with a plan to adjust for the next try, but my husband and I needed to take a break to reassess.

He can come across as a bit quirky, but he is very skilled!

I can't remember the details.

About $22,000 out of pocket

He highly recommended since embryo transfer if it was PGS tested, since multiple embryos increases risk to the fetuses.

My experience with Dr Norian was pleasant. His office is very busy. He is nice though. I believe him to have a high level of skill and education. You do have to go to a different office for procedures. However that office is beautiful and it’s nice not to have to drive far for everything. Your routine appointments will all be done at the Rancho office.

Make sure you think about any questions you have ahead of time and make sure to get them answered. Don’t let the flow of the office overwhelm you.

I don’t exactly recall. They have a very cookie cutter approach to how they like to do their cycles. If you like what they offer great. If you don’t. Go somewhere else.

Around 6-7k for an embryo transfer

Dr Norian will choose what’s best for you. He is agreeable to listen to your thoughts on it too however.
