Michelle A.
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.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) serves as a powerful tool within the realm of in vitro fertilization (IVF), offering prospective parents the opportunity to gain crucial insights into the genetic health of their embryos before implantation. Its general use revolves around improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby, particularly for individuals or couples facing specific reproductive challenges.
One of the primary reasons women opt for PGT is to identify chromosomal abnormalities, such as aneuploidy (an incorrect number of chromosomes), which are a leading cause of miscarriage and IVF failure. By screening embryos for these issues, PGT helps in selecting the most chromosomally normal embryos for transfer, thereby increasing implantation rates and reducing the risk of early pregnancy loss. This is especially relevant for women of advanced maternal age, who have a higher incidence of aneuploid embryos.
Beyond chromosomal screening, PGT is also utilized to detect specific genetic disorders. Couples who are known carriers of a single gene disorder (like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia) or who have a family history of such conditions can use PGT to ensure that only embryos free from these inherited diseases are transferred. This proactive approach empowers families to prevent the transmission of serious genetic conditions to their children, offering peace of mind and a healthier start to a healthy future.
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.
