Yetunde Ibrahim

Dr. Ibrahim is very sweet and extremely supportive and knowledgeable. She took her time to explain everything and made sure that we had no questions. We never felt as if we were left in the dark about anything and we always knew what to expect. I truly wish every doctor was like her.

Trust her! She knows what she’s doing and her hands are blessed!

We started with birth control pills in order to silence my follicles and prevent a dominant follicle from growing. I had and ultrasound to make sure everything was good and then I started stims. I was originally supposed to stim for 9 days on a low dose of both of my medications. I injected 1 medication in the morning and the other at night. After 6 days we added a 3rd medication to prevent ovulation. I ended up stimming for 15 days instead of 9 in order to get my follicles to the correct size (I believe the extra days also helped with maturity because all of my follicles were mature).I had my retrieval and 17 follicles were retrieved and all were mature. For the transfer portion of treatment, I was started on estradiol 6mg then began progesterone in oil injections 5 days before my first frozen embryo transfer. From my understanding, both medications are used to support a pregnancy.

I believe everything was reasonably priced. The clinic does an excellent job of finding every single medication for the best price possible.

My doctor was very open and honest about what we should and shouldn’t do when it came to PGT, transferring multiple embryos, and using ICSI. We were given the option to do it but were told because of our age and there were no sperm issues, we didn’t really need the extras. I really appreciated the honesty because IVF is expensive enough and we paid for everything upfront and out of pocket. I loved that we weren’t pressured into things that we didn’t need for the clinic to make extra money.

She was very caring, knowledgeable, and thoroughly explained potential issues and our test results. She was sensitive to our emotional state, answered our never ending questions, and helped us make logical treatment choices. She shared resources to help us cope such as a referral to a reproductive psychologist and was supportive in our decision to wait 6 months before starting treatment. I’m excited to begin IVF under Dr. Ibrahim’s care next month!

Make a list of questions before each appointment to make sure you get all the information you need.

Have not started treatment yet so I don’t know what the protocol will be.

I am very proud to have been a patient of Dr. Ibrahim’s. She is very knowledgeable and hardworking. She is very dedicated and committed to her work and patients. She stays informed and updated with the latest developments in her line of work. She always had students with her learning. I appreciated her teaching and mentoring the next set of doctors. She speaks in a very comforting manner even when there are setbacks. She set great expectations throughout the process that are realistic possibilities. She responds and follow up very thoroughly. She is an excellent listener. She is also teachable and willing to learn. There are no weaknesses I have identified during my interactions with her.

I would advise a prospective patient that Dr. Ibrahim is very knowledgeable and will do her best to help if she can. She will include you in your care and be up front with you. She is kind and nonjudgmental.

The overall strategy was ensure my eggs were healthy and retrieve them. Get my eggs tested and use the most healthy ones to implant in my uterus. At the same time take a regime of medication to prepare my body for pregnancy. Monitor each week by taking bloodwork and sonograms. Keeping me informed of all my labs and any procedures that I may need to rule out any thing that could be causing complications. Finally transfer my embryos and follow up with bloodwork to confirm pregnancy or not.

Dr. Ibrahim was absolutely amazing with being welcoming , respectful and supportive with our needs as an LGBTQ couple. She treated us with dignity and kindness throughout the entire process.

All was well with my appointments. Never had a problem.

IVF package to start with $6000 Then genetic testing $1300 plus Storage of embryos $500 every six months Fee for ICIS $1500 Transfer of embryos $1000 Medication 3rd party $ 1500 plus

I appreciated Dr.Ibrahim’s approach which was to start out with a single embryo transfer first. Going forward if pregnancy doesn’t happen the option is there for the patient to decide whether they want to do multiple embryos .

The clinic handled the communication was I gave authorization. It was a smooth process

Dr. Ibrahim is very thorough in her practice, she took time to answer my questions with thoughtful well researched responses. She has great bedside manners and always made me feel comfortable in her care. I have referred many of my friends to her and I am happy to say that we all have had positive outcomes.

Just follow the process. Let her work her magic.

I started taking açaí berry supplements and vitamin D to help improve egg quality about 6-8 months prior to ivf. Dr. Ibrahim added growth hormone to my protocol and I truly believe that helped me get good quality eggs.

$6.500 ivf $5000 medication $600 - embryo storage

Started my egg retrieval journey with Dr Ibrahim back in august 2022. It took some time because i had cysts which had to be taken care of, but finally had a successful retrieval in March 2023. I cant say enough of how grateful i am that she was OBGYN.She is compassionate, kind, understanding, and always checked up on me which was exactly what i needed during that process because of how much of an emotional time that was for me. Not only that, she is very knowledgeable, stays the course with you and tailors your care according to your needs. You can tell fertility medicine/care is her passion and i thank God for putting someone like her in a part of medicine that is not really talked about. Thank you again Dr Ibrahim!!!

you are in great hands.

HCG protocol

Dr. Ibrahim treated my husband and I for recurrent pregnancy loss and chronic endometritis. As her patient, I felt informed, heard, and supported. Throughout our journey together, Dr. Ibrahim was at once professional but personable, frank but sensitive to our thoughts and feelings. I felt confident that Dr. Ibrahim had created a thoughtful, informed plan for our care, and that my husband and I were stakeholders in its creation/execution. I felt assurance that every step brought us closer to our goal of a successful pregnancy, and as though that goal was something obtainable. Any communication I had with Dr. Ibrahim was thoughtful and timely, even after hours. During an isolated interaction I had with one of Dr. Ibrahim’s fellows, that individual was dismissive, insensitive, and accusatory. Not only did I feel comfortable enough to address this incident with Dr. Ibrahim, she also expressed genuine concern when I did so. Dr. Ibrahim was apologetic without offering excuses, and made me feel both heard and validated. Though this could have been a wholly negative experience, it demonstrated Dr. Ibrahim’s commitment to the highest standards of sensitive, accountable, quality patient care and strengthen my confidence in her as a professional. My husband and I felt truly supported by Dr. Ibrahim, from start to finish of our journey together. Even now that we have “graduated” from her direct care, I know that we have her support should we need it on the road ahead.

Ask all your questions, share your concerns, and know you are in good hands.

-My referring OBGYN requested lab work before and after my second pregnancy loss (cardiolipin, lupus anticoagulant, B2 glycoprotein, antibody screening, HIV/RPR/HepB NR, GC/CT). All were normal. Karyotype from my most recent loss was 46XX, though maternal contamination could not be ruled out. -Dr. Ibrahim had my prolactin levels checked and my husband and I completed chromosome analysis: results were normal, with normal female and partner karyotypes. -Saline infusion sonogram was performed to rule out any abnormalities of my uterus: a uterine fibroid was found (not concerning), as well as a possible benign polyp. I was scheduled for uterine hysteroscopy and removal of the polyp. -Polyp removal and hysteroscopy were scheduled. No polyp found, but hysteroscopy revealed chronic endometritis, for which I was treated with a course of levofloxacin and flagyl. -Following completion of antibiotics, dilation and curettage with hysteroscopy were scheduled: revealed chronic endometritis with scar tissue. Dr. Ibrahim prescribed another 21-day course of levofloxacin and flagyl. -Once I completed the course of antibiotics and we could be reasonably certain my uterine infection had cleared, we quickly transitioned to the next stage of treatment: getting pregnant. We discussed options and made a plan. -I was prescribed Clomid. Subsequent ultrasound revealed multiple mature follicles. I was prescribed Ovidrel. -My husband and I completed Zymot testing and IUI. I started on luteal progesterone following IUI. IUI was successful. -Once pregnancy was confirmed, I went in for an ultrasound every 2 weeks. I continued luteal progesterone through 10 or 11 weeks gestation. -I completed NIP testing: results were low risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. -I went in for ultrasounds every 2 weeks until 12 weeks gestation (the point at which I’d lost my longest pregnancy) to monitor as part of the TLC protocol. -I returned to the care of my OBGYN. -I have made it to my 3rd trimester.

I had insurance through my employer and had already met my yearly deductible by the time I began treatment with Dr. Ibrahim. I paid a copay for visits. Zymot sorting and IUI were not covered by my insurance, or perhaps only partially covered. I believe I paid approximately $500. I also paid for Ovidrel, which was (I think) around $150, and luteal progesterone from a specialty pharmacy, which was about $75. As I recall, my insurance covered all other costs associated with my care. I would recommend patients check with their insurance companies and the UT billing department to determine what will be covered/not covered by insurance. I called my insurance company to get a list before my husband and I got started with the process.

None; it was not necessary to utilize either approach in my case.

We are FOREVER grateful for Dr. Ibrahim! She truly made us feel seen, heard and understood. We had previously come from a different fertility clinic from out of state and had already had multiple surgeries to correct my Asherman’s diagnosis. When we showed up with paperwork in hand and the worry that my scar tissue was a concern she got right to work and immediately came up with a plan knowing time was against us. We always felt supported by her and we always felt like she had our best interest at heart. We will FOREVER be grateful for helping us achieve a successful pregnancy!

It’s ok to ask questions, she’s an incredible resource, and she will never make you feel dumb or that your question is insignificant. I never felt rushed with her.

Total costs approx $24,000 (two egg retrievals, 1 implantation, genetic testing, ICSI, sperm sorting, freezing the remaining embryos).

Given my age and situation (the Asherman’s) she was very clear that she would only transfer 1 embryo. Since she was able to give a thorough explanation of her reasoning, we felt comfortable with the decision to only transfer one.

The fact that I drive from Fort Worth to San Antonio to have Dr. Ibrahim as my IVF doctor speaks volumes. Dr. Ibrahim is exceptional in every way. She is extremely smart, professional, kind, thorough, honest, and caring. She truly goes above and beyond as an IVF doctor and ensures I have the best care. She explains everything carefully and is extremely thorough in all her visits and calls. She has discovered issues such as an auto immune disorder that other doctors did not see, she found uterus scar tissue that no other doctor checked for. She is ahead of her time in every way. She is undoubtedly one of the best in her field.

You hit the jackpot of IVF doctors.

My husband and I needed to do IVF due to a male infertility factor. Dr. Ibrahim kindly supplied notes about testing onto my husband’s urologist which allowed us to improve his sperm, count and motility. Thankfully, I have a good amount of follicles so Dr. Ibrahim’s plan for egg retrievals were specific to me so my cycles were slightly shorter. She gave us all the information we needed about genetic testing, which we decided to go ahead with. This was so helpful for us as the sperm quality was not the best and with her treatment plans we were able to end up with six genetically, tested, healthy embryos. After my first miscarriage, Dr. Ibrahim ensured all testing was done to find the root of the problem, she also found my thyroid levels had changed since the miscarriage, and was able to do further testing and discovered an autoimmune issue. She also did a hysteroscopy which found scar tissue. I unfortunately suffered a second miscarriage but again, Dr. Ibrahim has been doing everything she can to find the issue and tackle the problem so we can have a successful pregnancy.

IVF package was around $6-7k, generic testing costs were based on the amount of embryos so usually are $1-3k. Embryo storage is $500 every 6 months I believe. Anesthesia $500 per egg retrieval. ICSO $1500. Medications $2-3k

N/A

This clinic is a learning clinic, so there are a lot of times residents are included in the procedures and processes, however Dr. Ibrahim was usually always present for questions and major procedures. I felt the clinic did a good job at responding in a timely manner and were upfront on addressing risks/expectations. Particularly on policies of single transfers and risks of implanting multiples. They were respectful of my husbands needs as well and we both felt supported during the process

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and stand up for what your needs/expectations are.

Due to our circumstances and outcomes of testing, she anticipated that I would respond well to the medications. However with Letrozole, despite 4 rounds of timed intercourse and 2 rounds of IUI, I was unable to conceive. Then with discussion and request, we pursued IVF with egg retrieval and ICSI. PGT testing was completed and we transferred one embryo that was rated good and normal with testing. I additionally opted for the use of “uterine glue” during transfer to increase the chance of success, which ended in a successful pregnancy and birth.

IVF was discounted, which was helpful. Medications for IVF were bought in the US and costly. All, natural conception was covered by my insurance, though IUI was about $500 per round. And IVF total costs with genetic testing, ICSI and medications was ~$18,000 I believe… not exactly sure the total of all our care

She was very clear on the clinic policy, although I would have initially wanted to try for multiple embryo transfer. However, going through the process and knowing the risks I am glad we did a single embryo transfer

I was very impressed by Dr. Ibrahim. She is very thorough, pays attention to detail and is efficient and gentle. She is very up to date on current evidence based practice and always made sure to keep me updated and answered all of my questions fully. She is patient, kind and compassionate. She kept me as the patient safe all the while delivering an excellent outcome! I 10/10 recommend Dr. Ibrahim!

Everything was first class with Dr. Ibrahim. You can rest assured that you will be well taken care of and trust the process!

IVF Stimulation- July 2022 9 day stim Med plan: FSH 150 Menopur 150, Antagonist, HCG trigger. No ICSI, PGT-A. SD5 E2 1232 - decrease to FSH/Menopur 112.5 SD7 E2 3013 - Continue GF 112.6, decrease MP to 75, start antagonist SD8 E2 3671, P4 0.9 - FSH 75, Menopur 75 SD9 - Triggered with 2000 IU HCG and 4mg Lupron. This was changed from the initial plan of HCG trigger due to risk of ovarian hyper-stimulation. Result 29 oocytes > 14 blasts frozen. I elected not to do genetic testing on embryos. I have a normal ovarian reserve, so I hyperstimulated, which I knew was a risk. It was a mild case and I tolerated it well and had minimal symptoms. Dr. Ibrahim recommended against doing a fresh transfer due to risk of exacerbating OHS. I had a HRT- FET frozen transfer 8/2022 with regimen estrace 3mg BID and PIO IM that was unsuccessful. I was then diagnosed with chronic endometritis and completed a course of doxy/flagyl. I had a second HRT- FET with regimen estrace 3mg BID and PIO IM on 10/22 that was successful! I Continued estradiol 3 mg bid and Progesterone 50 mg IM until 10 week GA. IMP: - Viable singleton intrauterine pregnancy with size consistent with dates. I had a new OB appointment at 10 weeks GA I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl!

$6250- Round of IVF including monitoring, labs, retrieval and one transfer. Around $1750 Frozen Transfer Around $2000-2500 for meds. I bought from a US pharmacy but I had the option to save money and buy from a. Pharmacy from Turkey. I opted for the US pharmacy due to speed or delivery. Frozen embryo storage- unknown

Our plan as discussed with Dr. Ibrahim was for a single healthy pregnancy. We were glad that safety to mother and baby was top priority.

Dr. Ibrahim was exactly what we needed. We had a previous stillbirth due to preeclampsia and our fertility doctor left the clinic so we were especially nervous and emotional. Dr. Ibrahim was empathetic and yet direct in her approach to care. She made sure I made an appointment with a high risk BEFORE starting fertility treatment so as to get a good start prior. Our previous IVF cycle only resulted in 1 embryo so we would have to do a whole new cycle this time. She outlined the risks and benefits of our options and ran tests to make sure my body would best respond to treatments. She was thorough and very well educated. She kept me informed and included in all decisions. I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us and the miracle she helped us create together.

Trust your doctor. This woman knows what she's doing and will give you the stats to understand her protocols. I fought my previous provider in doing things MY way which in the end, didn't fair very well. There's a difference between educating yourself and being controlling. And in retrospect,I wish my previous doctor had been more aggressive and pushed back when I would insist on methods that were not as effective. Dr. Ibrahim wants to get your pregnant, let her do her job

I had hydrosalpinx and as a result, both my tubes were blocked and one had to be removed (the other clipped to prevent spillage). This was done by my previous provider. Dr. Ibrahim performed a pelvic ultrasound and discovered many cervical polyps so she scheduled a surgery to remove them. Once removed, we began a classic IVF cycle(gonal f and menopur) and planned for a fresh transfer. My husband's sperm was also retested since the last time we needed ICSI but we did not this time. After egg retrieval, we ended up with 10 embryos! We did a fresh 5 day transfer that ended in a live birth of a baby boy:)

$12k

Since I had already successfully gotten pregnant the previous time using 1 healthy embryo and I had no other fertility concerns other than my tubes being blocked, Dr. Ibrahim agreed we should only transfer 1 embryo

Dr. Ibrahim was incredibly patient and compassionate in answering my questions and walking through this difficult journey with us. She is knowledgeable about the expected outcomes and can convey those difficult statistics while preserving the hope for creating a family.

If you are employed, open up a conversation with your boss and consider requesting FMLA to protect your employment. The series of appointments and treatments you have to go through occur on very short notice, which makes the IVF process challenging for an employer woman trying to become pregnant.

Dr. Ibrahim was wonderful. She made us feel that we had all the information we needed to make the decisions that were right for us every step of our journey. We felt supported and guided by her and trusted that no matter what happened, we were in good hands. Her goal was to get us pregnant but her priority was my health; and at the age of 41, this was very important to us. Her confidence and recommendations made us feel that no matter the outcome, we were going to be okay. We also valued how she treated us with respect and the utmost dignity. This process was hard enough and she helped to make us feel normal and not that something was wrong because we couldn't have a baby on our own. We are forever grateful for Dr. Ibrahim and her expertise.

Trust the process, follow instructions as accurately as possible, and most importantly, make the decisions and choices that feel right for you. Dr. Ibrahim is one of the best doctors to support you in this.

We tried IUI first before we did eggs harvesting and then IVF. I have hypothyroidism, PCOS, and fibroids. Dr. Ibrahim ran tests and treatments to assess the impact these would have on my chances of getting pregnant as well as harvesting of eggs prior to the start of each process. It allowed us to understand the risks and chances at every step and it was very helpful for our outcomes.

Dr. Ibrahim was only $6,000, the other $9,000 was in drugs for a total of almost $15,000 for all processes and procedures, to include egg retrieval, transfer, care, etc.

I appreciated that she would only do a single embryo and she explained why very thoroughly. I am very glad we did a single transfer because we could have lost both embryos, reducing our chances to try again, or ended up with multiples that we were not mentally or emotionally prepared for.

Dr. Ibrahim gave us straightforward and thorough advice. She never gave us unrealistic expectations, but pursued DuoStim treatment where other doctors would’ve advised us to use donor eggs. We now have a beautiful daughter using my eggs and Dr. Ibrahim to thank!

Trust her advice. She is excellent.

DuoStim was used due to my diminished ovarian reserve.

Approximately $20,000 total

She was extremely kind and open regarding all procedure and possible outcomes. I did not feel like she ever gave me unnecessary hope and was always very real about what the possibility was. She always responded to any message or question that I had very quickly and was very easy to get ahold of. I felt like I could trust her completely and did not worry about anything.

No question is stupid. Be open and always ask what is on your mind. Dr. Ibrahim is wonderful and providing all answers to the questions you may have.

I do not recall. I know that we did fertility meds, then 3 rounds of IUI, and then one round of IVF fresh and one frozen.

In total I probably spent close to $13,000

Dr Ibrahim is an efficient fertility specialist. She took care of my case very well. I had a lot of queries before and during the IVF procedure and Dr. Ibrahim addressed all my questions patiently. She is well informed about the IVF details. Dr. Ibrahim informed me about the benefits and risks of the process. She mentally supported us. She was always ready for the scheduled appointments.

Follow your doctor's advice and have faith.

First 10 days- US, Injections (Menopur, Gonal F, ) last 5 days Cetrolix, last day before egg retrieval HCG injection. Then egg retrieval. Embryo formation and storage.

15000 approx

She preferred one for the first cycle

Dr. Ibrahim worked diligently on my case and provided me with the best care imaginable. She treated me like family and made me feel extremely valued in her care. Even though my outcome wasn't expected, Dr. Ibrahim always had a next plan of attack to reach the end goal. She treated my husband and I with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion.

Gather as much patience and resilience you can, and lean on friends and family as hard as you can.

Very knowledgeable about all things having to do with infertility. Easy to talk to and ask questions. Can tell she really cares about her patients and wants their treatment to be successful. All appointments were very comfortable

Be patient. Infertility is complex and the treatment can be a long process

Doctor recommended single embryo transfer for me. Not sure if she recommends multiple embryo transfer for other patients
