My husband and I
came to see Dr. Yelian early this year as a last resort after having failed
conventional IVF's in the past. Our problem was embryo quality and none of our
previous embryos reached day 5. We did
acupuncture during that time as well. Our previous doctors have given up on us.
We were feeling hopeless at the time and decided this would be our last attempt
at IVF.
Dr. Yelian is
very compassionate, kind and highly skilled. He is sensitive and caring unlike
the other doctors I have gone to. One thing that I will always remember was the
confidence he exuded when he told me that the problem is not egg quality but
rather the high dosage of fertility meds that affected egg quality. He advised
me to do Mini IVF cycles and very
little and low dosage of fertility meds.
I was pretty
skeptical at first but nevertheless, I did the cycles back to back. A few
months before the procedure, I also prepared my body and did acupuncture and
took freshly brewed herbal tea prescribed by my acupuncturist (Katie) at
Dunamis Acupuncture. This helped tremendously. During the first cycle we were
able to get our very first EVER 5-day good quality embryo. We couldn't believe
it! In the remaining cycles using the same exact protocol, we got a few more
good quality 5-day embryos. We did PGS and miraculously, 3 out of 4 embryos
came back normal. This is truly a gift we did not expect! For those who have
been down this road before, I hope you give Dr. Yelian a chance to prove that
it is still possible! He knows what he's doing.
The staff is
also very kind and helpful. I enjoy
coming to my appointments. There is some
wait time but it is manageable depending on when you schedule your
appointments. I recommend taking at
least a half day off during your appointments so you won't be in a rush. They do have a lot of patients (many out of
state or country) so it's inevitable at times to wait a little longer. But
service issues are handled well in my opinion.
