"I Feel Extremely Blessed to Have Found Dr. K and Her Staff."
Caroline Sheehan
2020
Dr K and her entire staff are a GOD SEND! I worked with Blanca and Mayra and they are both angels. I’ve had two miscarriages back to back and when i came to see Dr K i was extremely distraught and just wanted to find out what was wrong with me. She worked very closely with me to find out the root cause of my miscarriages. We ended up doing a medicated cycle and it worked the first round and in currently 7 weeks pregnant and have just graduated from her office to my regular OB’s. I feel extremely blessed to have found Dr K and her staff. I pray anyone reading this has the courage to seek help and treatment because it’s worth it!!! Thanks you Dr k! Thank you Blanca! Thank you Mayra! May god always bless you and your families.

Dr. Kristiansen and her staff are amazing! If I could give more stars, I would. For my first appointment, I went by myself and Dr. Kristiansen was so warmly, and non judgmental on every question I’ve asked her. Every visit since then, my fiancé have gone with me and everytime, the staff would hold conversations with us and answer any and every question we’ve had. All of her staff is lovely and amazing, but there’s two women I have to give credit to. Mayra and the phlebotomist. I don’t remember her name and I’m so sorry lol but those two ladies are heaven sent and I’m glad Dr. Kristiansen hired them. Her treatment plans work fast and she’s very affordable. I’m glad I’ve found her. Thank you❤️

Qualifying for IVF Treatment
In order to qualify for this treatment, the doctors at our Houston, Texas, fertility center will look at a number of factors:
Age
Age plays a major role in the potential for success with IVF. As you age, the success rate decreases but remains above that of natural methods.
Months Spent Trying to Conceive
We typically recommend a fertility evaluation for patients under the age of 35 who have been trying to conceive for six to 12 months. If you are over 35, that time period is shortened to four to six months.
Previous Attempts
Dr. Kristiansen and her team rarely recommend this treatment as the first option for dealing with infertility. However, if you have tried other methods, such as artificial insemination and fertility medication, our Houston practice may recommend IVF.
Type of Fertility Issue
Not every patient can benefit from in vitro fertilization. We will recommend the most promising course of treatment for you based on your fertility evaluation.

Understanding
IVF Success Rates
Our effective in vitro fertilization treatments have resulted in very high fertility success rates. It is important that our patients in Houston and surrounding Texas regions understand how IVF centers measure success:
Average Success
Dr. Kristiansen's overall success compares very well nationally, particularly with patients over 35. It is important to note that the average patient without reproductive problems has only a 20 percent chance of pregnancy per cycle under ideal circumstances.
Why Statistics Alone are Misleading
Most patients understandably want to know the success rate for each doctor and facility. However, the statistics on IVF cycle success can be confusing and misleading at times. A very good facility and doctor may have average to good numbers compared to another’s excellent numbers. Some facilities and doctors prescreen patients and select only those with a high probability of reproductive success. While this allows certain clinics to maintain an excellent success rate, they may not necessarily be the best practice.
Why Our Success is Different
Our practice takes a wider range of patients with complicated reproductive issues such as previous failures, prolonged unexplained infertility, abnormal testing, and being over age 38. We strive to help patients who may have a lower chance of conceiving their own biological child achieve the family of their dreams. Our success is not just a reflection of our numbers, but also of our inclusivity and desire to serve patients who need our help the most.
You can afford IVF at Houston Fertility Center...
Cost of an IVF Cycle
Several factors can influence the number of IVF or INVOcell rounds hopeful parents require, including age, specific fertility issues, and the use of donor sperm or eggs.
To make in vitro fertilization treatment more accessible to our patients, we offer special pricing for standard IVF. We also offer INVOcell™, a variation on the standard IVF procedure, for $9,400 with PGT. Schedule an appointment to take advantage of our current cycle rate before time runs out.
In addition to our already low standard pricing, the Houston Fertility Center offers discounted price packages for patients without in vitro fertilization insurance coverage, and we can bundle services at discounted rates. During a private consultation at our office serving Houston and surrounding areas, Dr. Kristiansen can explain IVF cost and what you can expect to pay for fertility treatment.
