Everything you need to know about becoming an MRMP patient — from your first consultation through postpartum recovery and beyond.
Every patient in the MRMP is assigned a dedicated Patient Navigator — a clinically trained coordinator who will guide you through every phase of the program, from your first appointment to your 12-month postpartum follow-up. You will never navigate this process alone.
A 60-minute meeting with one of our reproductive endocrinologists. We review your medical history, explain the program in full, and answer any questions. There is no charge for this visit and no obligation to proceed.
If you are a candidate, we schedule a full workup: abdominal/pelvic MRI, complete hormone panel, genetic carrier screening, and a psychological readiness assessment with Dr. Lindqvist's team.
Your multidisciplinary team reviews all findings and meets with you to present a personalized care plan. You will choose your insemination pathway (IUI, IVF-ET, or Natural Insemination) and preferred delivery pathway (CE or TAD) at this stage.
An outpatient biopsy collects the cells needed to cultivate your organoid. The 8–12 week development process takes place in the Zhao Laboratory, with weekly updates provided to you and your Navigator.
A 4–6 week hormone protocol prepares your body for implantation. The HUOI procedure is laparoscopic, typically 90 minutes, and most patients go home the next morning.
Following confirmed organoid integration, you proceed to your chosen insemination pathway. Our team monitors you closely throughout the 37–39 week gestation period with biweekly visits.
Delivery is planned with your surgical team and neonatologist. Both CE and TAD deliveries take place at Harrington University Medical Center, with our Level IV NICU available if needed.
Comprehensive postpartum care for 12 months, including hormonal tapering, physical recovery support, lactation consultation (if desired), and ongoing behavioral health services for you and your family.
Every MRMP patient is assigned a dedicated Patient Navigator at enrollment. Your Navigator is available by phone and secure message Monday–Friday and will accompany you to all major clinical milestones.
Meet the Navigator TeamActive MRMP patients have access to a 24-hour clinical advice line staffed by MRMP nurses and on-call physicians throughout the entire program.

The Navigator program was everything. Having someone in my corner who knew every doctor on the team, who could explain every form and every procedure — I honestly don't know how I would have done it without that support.
I was terrified before the HUOI surgery. But Dr. Okonkwo walked me through every step beforehand, and the procedure itself was so much easier than I expected. I was home the next day. The whole pregnancy was surprisingly... manageable.
The psychological support team here is phenomenal. Dr. Lindqvist helped me work through so many things I didn't even realize I was carrying. The postpartum sessions were equally valuable. I felt genuinely cared for as a whole person.
