Dr. Shamma did a very poor job of explaining the IVF process and why it was needed. Basically made it sound like it was the only option. When asked about other procedures he said it’s not worth it. Went through IVF with lots of unanswered questions and having it fail in the end. Offered a discount on next IVF cycle but with paying out of pocket it’s likely we will not be able to try again. Going to be meeting with another doctor for second opinion.
