Traveling for OR

Should I have more than one Ovarian Rejuvenation procedure?

For most patients, only one Ovarian Rejuvenation is required. If the desired response does not occur or several months have passed since the initial Ovarian Rejuvenation and the patient has not yet responded as desired, consideration can be given to a second Ovarian Rejuvenation.

What can I expect after treatment...Will I feel any different?

Because the effect of Ovarian Rejuvenation is on the ovaries and not the entire body, the vast majority of women do not feel any different after the treatment. Effects can be seen on hormone values, the number of follicles seen on ultrasound, and/or the quality of the eggs/embryos formed following Ovarian Rejuvenation.

Is this procedure safe? What are some side effects associated with it?

The procedure is done by experienced specialist and is done very carefully under ultrasound guidance. Both patients and staff are able to directly observe the procedure. We are pleased that in hundreds of cases, there have been no complications.

What should I expect at and after my consultation?

Speak With Our Experts: During a remote consultation, with Dr. Wood you will talk to both Dr. Wood and the Ovarian Rejuvenation Specialist to go over your medical history and have your questions answered. During a remote consultation with the Ovarian Rejuvenation Specialist, you will only meet with her, and she will follow up with recommendations from Dr. Wood.

Individualized Recommendations: Dr. Wood will review your medical history, answer questions, and make personalized recommendations.

Logistics & Pricing: The Ovarian Rejuvenation Specialist will help coordinate logistics, discuss pricing, and guide you through the next steps.

When can I do my Ovarian Rejuvenation treatment?

Pre-Treatment & Supplements: After your initial consultation, if you decide to move forward with treatment and pay the initial deposit, you can immediately begin the recommended pre-treatment protocol and supplements.

Scheduling: You can schedule your procedure at the time of your consultation, typically about one month out, allowing enough time for the pre-treatment phase. (some do not need pr-treatment medications, but they still need to wait about a month for procedure, or for period start)

How do I get my lab testing done if I live out of state?

Remote Coordination: Gen 5 Fertility is experienced in helping out-of-state patients with all necessary lab work.

Convenient Lab Locations: We will electronically send in your lab orders to a nearby laboratory that is most convenient for you.

Ongoing Support: Dr. Wood reviews all results, and our clinical team remains in constant communication with you throughout the process.

How long do I need to stay in San Diego for treatment?

Arrival: Most OR patients fly in the evening before the procedure. Procedure Day: The next morning, you come to our office for an initial blood draw, then return in the early afternoon for treatment. Departure: Many patients choose to explore San Diego afterward or even fly out the same day.

Do I need to bring someone to drive me after treatment?

No you do not because Dr. Wood is highly experienced, no anesthesia is required for the Ovarian Rejuvenation procedure. You may drive yourself, enjoy San Diego or fly home after the treatment is complete. Of course, if you decide you do want anesthesia even though it is not necessary, then you will need someone to drive you.

How do I handle post-treatment monitoring?

Remote Follow-Up: All monitoring can be done at a local lab or clinic near your home.

Ongoing Communication: We will provide detailed instructions, send in lab orders, and stay in contact to review your results.

Doctor Review: Dr. Wood will analyze your results and continue to guide you throughout your treatment journey.
