Unfortunately, many fertility clinics have started to resemble factories. Patients are shuttled in and out like cattle going down an assembly line. Waiting rooms are littered with patients, and you can go an entire egg freezing cycle without seeing a physician who knows you by name. Before you commit to a specific center, ask around about how the clinic functions and what previous patients who have been treated there have experienced. While it may not change your decision about where you decide to be treated, it will prepare you for what lies ahead. For example, CCRM’s physicians partner with each individual patient to develop custom-tailored analyses and treatments to help ensure the best outcome possible.
Availability
We all have busy lives and schedules. Trying to squeeze in time to chat with your mom can even be a challenge. Therefore, it’s important that you know when both your doctor and fertility clinic will be available not only to speak to you but also to see you. Just like personalities, you want to make sure that your schedule can effectively merge with their schedule.
Honesty is key
Sugarcoating the situation when it comes to your ability to not only freeze eggs, but also have success with those eggs in the future can become a “sour” situation. You need to make sure that the physician you are seeing is honest with your prognosis, the chance of the treatment being successful, and their clinic’s ability to help you not only freeze but also potentially thaw those eggs in the future. When it comes to your fertility you need all the facts!
