2019, Unsuccessful
I feel like she [Dr. Lila Schmidt] wasn’t very knowledgeable about how to do an egg retrieval...was going to do a fresh transfer with pgs testing. I’ve now done 2 egg retrievals and pgs testing takes 7-10 days, no way she could have done a fresh transfer with pgs testing. She also doesn’t use her own facility, so she has to completely base your egg retrieval around her ability to use that other lab...never went over follicle growth, when I looked my chart later, my follicles weren’t even close to big enough to do an iui.
Strengths [at San Diego Mommy Maker] - [Dr. Lila Schmidt] treats you like a person and not a stat or a number. Cons- she doesn’t know what she’s doing... did one iui...never went over follicle growth, when I looked my chart later, my follicles weren’t even close to big enough to do an iui...doesn’t use her own facility, so she has to completely base your egg retrieval around her ability to use that other lab... she wasn’t very knowledgeable about how to do an egg retrieval.
How was your experience with Lila Schmidt at San Diego Mommy Maker (closed)?
I feel like she wasn’t very knowledgeable about how to do an egg retrieval. Every clinic I went to afterwards did a completely different protocol, she also was going to do a fresh transfer with pgs testing. I’ve now done 2 egg retrievals and pgs testing takes 7-10 days, no way she could have done a fresh transfer with pgs testing.
She also doesn’t use her own facility, so she has to completely base your egg retrieval around her ability to use that other lab. Which, follicles don’t grow on labs schedule, they grow on their own timetable!
