Describe the protocols Reeva Makhijani used in your cycles at Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (First Fertility Network Clinic) and their degree of success.
I was referred to her because of recurrent losses-I had 1 miscarriage and 2 chemical pregnancies before I was referred. Since I was getting pregnant we started off by doing bloodwork, a semen analysis for my husband, a sonohystogram to ensure I didn’t have any blockages and a genetic screening. All of this came back normal so she started me on clomid with baby aspirin and vaginal progesterone. On the second cycle I had a chemical pregnancy, tested negative on the 3rd and then on the 4th cycle we added in a trigger HCG shot to ensure I would ovulate. I got pregnant this cycle but unfortunately had to TFMR.

Dr Makhijani is extremely quick and thorough when she is performing procedures like the sonohysterogram and the HSG...diagnosed us with unexplained infertility and said in the future we could consider IUI if we don’t get pregnant...very smooth experience and I would definitely go back to her if needed in the future.
[The Center for Advanced Reproductive Services] nurse that called me to schedule my appointments and discuss blood work results was extremely kind and caring...followed up on me and asked me how I was doing/feeling...didn’t make me seem like “just another patient”...very good with keeping up on emails too.
How was your experience with Reeva Makhijani at Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (First Fertility Network Clinic)?
Dr Makhijani is extremely quick and thorough when she is performing procedures like the sonohysterogram and the HSG. She knew about my anxiety in doctors offices so she was kind enough to make sure I was prescribed just enough pain and anxiety medication to help me remain comfortable during both procedures. Google made it seem like both procedures were going to be excruciating so I panicked before the procedure and was more emotional than usual because I didn’t know what to expect. Overall, very smooth experience and I would definitely go back to her if needed in the future.

Describe the protocols Reeva Makhijani used in your cycles at Center for Advanced Reproductive Services (First Fertility Network Clinic) and their degree of success.
I have unexplained infertility and have had a history of some heavy menstrual cycles for years. She recommended that I got blood work done and did the Sono to make sure my uterine cavity was healthy. When everything looked good, I told her I would continue working on getting my progesterone and AMH up with my naturopath through some Egg health/hormonal antioxidant supplements. I wasn’t interested in using any medications due to trying to get pregnancy naturally and I get anxious taking medications . A year went by and she said we could do the HSG. My tubes looked clear and by that time my progesterone and AMH rose. So she diagnosed us with unexplained infertility and said in the future we could consider IUI if we don’t get pregnant.
