It
brings
me
sadness
as
I
write
this
review.
It
has
taken
me
over
a
year
to
share
my
and
my
husband's
journey.
First,
I
would
like
to
say
that
Cara,
Renee,
Betsy,
and
all
the
MAs
in
the
office
are
truly
amazing.
They
were
so
supportive
throughout
my
entire
journey.
I
am
genuinely
grateful
for
them.
Unfortunately,
I
still
feel
like
my
"care
plan"
was
not
detailed
to
me,
and
I
was
overlooked.
Let's
Begin...
My
husband
and
I
met
with
FCLV
starting
in
Early
2021
with
Dr.
Shapiro.
I
came
with
some
fertility
testing
already,
as
ordered
by
my
OBGYN.
I
knew
I
was
MTHFR
positive
for
two
copies
of
the
C677T,
which
was
the
worst
of
the
two.
My
husband
and
I
had
to
go
through
3
egg
retrievals
to
get
two
genetically
normal
embryos.
That
all
went
great,
but
it
all
went
south
when
it
came
to
transfer.
I
asked
my
provider
multiple
times
if
I
should
be
taking
Aspirin
81mg
because
of
the
MTHFR
lab
result.
I
was
repeatedly
told
not
to;
even
my
coordinator
asked
him,
and
I
was
told
no
again.
I
also
asked
for
testing
for
the
hemophiliac
profile
and
was
told
no.
In
November
2021,
we
transferred
our
first
embryo.
We
asked
for
the
boy
embryo,
but
they
unfroze
the
girl
instead
and
said,
"Sorry."
A
few
weeks
later,
we
were
told
we
were
pregnant.
We
were
so
excited.
Everything
was
going
well
until
the
heartbeat
ultrasound.
We
were
told
that
they
could
see
it
but
could
not
measure
it.
We
were
9
weeks
pregnant
and
said
that
our
pregnancy
had
just
dissolved
itself
and
my
uterus
was
empty.
We
were
devastated.
After
the
dust
settled,
we
talked
about
transferring
our
second
embryo.
After
I
kept
asking
for
a
hysteroscopy
and
was
told
no
again,
he
decided
to
do
it.
This
is
where
we
found
out
that
I
had
severe
inflammation
in
my
uterus.
I
went
on
the
treatment
plan
and
then
had
a
repeat
hysteroscopy.
This
is
when
they
saw
two
micro
polyps.
I
had
them
removed,
and
not
even
a
month
later,
I
was
told
I
had
to
transfer
my
embryo,
or
I
would
have
to
pay
$5,000
since
my
year
package
was
running
out.
I
fought
that
with
the
finance
people,
who
honestly
had
no
heart.
They
didn't
care
that
I
had
literally
done
everything
the
doctor
recommended,
even
going
through
his
surgery
instead
of
going
back
to
my
ob-gyn,
which
was
covered
by
insurance,
to
make
sure
I
followed
his
plan.
It
was
so
sad.
Now,
fast
forward
two
weeks,
and
I
got
a
call
from
another
doctor
in
the
office
to
tell
me
my
Beta
HCG
was
negative.
And
that
was
that.
I
never
heard
from
anyone
else
in
the
office
after
that,
including
Dr.
Shapiro,
whom
I
had
been
with
for
over
a
year.
Fast
forward
to
August
2023,
when
I
went
back
to
my
OBGYN
for
follow-up
after
it
all.
She
listened
to
me
and
ordered
all
the
lab
tests.
I
found
out
that
I
am
positive
for
Factor
V
Leiden
and
ACE
Gene
Polymorphism.
I
was
told
that
with
just
MTHFR
alone,
I
should
be
on
a
baby
aspirin
daily,
and
with
pregnancy,
I
should
be
on
Lovenox.
My
husband
and
I
are
just
sad
that
we
could
have
had
a
baby
girl
with
us
today
if
I
was
listened
to
and
heard.
Unfortunately,
I
wasn't.
So,
advice:
Get
testing
before
going
here
so
you
cover
all
your
bases!
