Puerto Rico Fertility Center, 미국

Thanks to Dr. Lawrence and his entire team, we have a wonderful son who has already celebrated his first birthday. Highly recommended!

During our year here, we learned a great deal about what a fertility clinic should not be. A fertility clinic should not be open only four days a week for patients undergoing IVF or IUI (insemination). Because timing is not optional but critical to a successful outcome, as doctors know, a functioning fertility clinic must be open seven days a week. For IUI, insemination must occur on the day of ovulation or immediately afterward. Because the clinic was closed the day after I ovulated, I was forced to undergo insemination two days after ovulation, when the egg was likely no longer viable. During IVF, the most successful clinics in the United States grow blastocysts to day 5 because most fertilized eggs stop developing between days 1 and 5. This clinic wanted to transfer a day-3 morula, which had a 50% to 70% chance of stopping development inside me. They also froze underdeveloped morulas/embryos, which good clinics do not do because they have little chance of developing into a fetus. We spent over $20,000 here on 3 IUIs, 2 IVF cycles, and 2 embryo transfers because we trusted that there would be a good outcome. Unfortunately, we instead learned a great deal about the difference between good and poor clinics. We later tried again in the United States and became pregnant after the first embryo transfer because that clinic ensured that only high-quality day-5 blastocysts were transferred. Before visiting any clinic, go to SART.org and research it. Review its statistics. You can search for any clinic in the United States, including this one, and I would only use a SART-affiliated clinic. Excellent clinics can have live birth rates of 65% or higher. Also, the statistics booklet provided by PRFC is outdated, from around 2014. Review the latest statistics.

Take your hopes somewhere that puts you first, not money. I have never seen so much improvisation and so many process changes just to make you spend money. It is shameful that they play with every woman's greatest wish this way. 🥲🥲💔💔

Thank you to my doctor and the team for helping me achieve my second miracle of life 💛 Grateful 🙏❤️
