Starting your cycle
Starting an IVF cycle is stressful enough, doing it with an out-of-state provider just increases that stress. That is why we have developed an out-of state monitoring program to help women that need ultrasound monitoring without having to travel to their provider. We follow your physicians instructions and with be able to accommodate your schedule. Most all cycles, whether retrievals or transfers, will need 2-3 ultrasounds during that cycle. All reports can be faxed or emailed to your physician within 2-3 hours after the exam is finished.
Please Call True Health Acupuncture at 702-475-0870
You can also book online on the True Health Acupuncture website.

My name is Michelle Aukerman. And I just have to say that Joyce at True Health Acupuncture is probably the best ultrasound technician I have ever had in my life and I’ve been through several. She’s very personal and talks through everything and if something goes wrong, she says OK how do we make this right? What’s the next step we need to take? You don’t hear that from any other ultrasound tech, they're so jaded. The comfort environment at True Health Acupuncture is unmatchable. It does not feel like a doctor's office and everybody is so warm but when it comes to Joyce, she is completely unmatched. It’s like having your own mother right there with you. I highly highly recommend her.
Thank you, the Aukerman’s

This is the second pregnancy that I came to Joyce for my outside monitoring. I have been very nervous about the whole process, but Joyce guided me through each and every ultrasound. Although the monitoring went smoothly, upon achieving pregnancy I developed some bleeding. Of course, I panicked. Joyce explained everything that was going on with my bleeding and helped me through this anxious time. I don’t know what I would have done without Joyce’s calm demeanor. And the added bonus is having acupuncture treatment right there at True Health Acupuncture, the office Joyce works out of. I will always be truly thankful for the amazing experience that I received from both Joyce and True Health to be a part of my fertility journey.
Joyce is an exceptional individual who made a significant impact during my IVF journey. I had the privilege of meeting her when I needed support, and she was able to perform ultrasounds when our IVF Dr was unable to accommodate us. Her ability to confirm our twin pregnancy was incredibly reassuring. Joyce took the time to explain everything she was observing, which not only made the experience more memorable but also helped alleviate my anxiety. Her compassionate approach truly made a difference in my experience.
Choosing the right reproductive endocrinologist (RE) for IVF treatment is one of the most important decisions in your fertility journey. Several key factors can help guide your choice.
Cost and insurance coverage are often the first considerations. IVF can cost $15,000–$25,000 per cycle, and that’s before adding medications, genetic testing, or embryo storage. Always confirm whether your insurance covers diagnostics, medications, or full IVF cycles, and ask the clinic for a detailed cost breakdown—including hidden fees like anesthesia or embryo freezing.
Next, research the clinic’s embryology lab and staff. Success in IVF doesn’t just rely on your doctor—it also depends heavily on the embryologist's skill and the lab’s technology. Ask about the lab’s accreditation (e.g., CAP or CLIA), whether they use time-lapse embryo monitoring, and how often their equipment is updated.
Success rates are important, but dig deeper than just the clinic’s overall rate. Look at age-specific live birth rates and how many embryos they typically transfer. These statistics are reported to the CDC and SART, so you can compare clinics nationwide.
Many clinics batch treatments, meaning they group patients by cycle to match their lab schedule. This can limit flexibility in your timing and may affect outcomes. Ask how many patients are in each batch and whether protocols are customized or standardized.
Finally, consider patient volume. A high-volume clinic may indicate experience, but if it’s too busy, you might not get personalized attention. Look for a balance of strong outcomes, transparency, and a team that treats you like a person—not a number.
