Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

There were several times that it seemed like she [Dr. Bosler] did not review my chart prior to walking into the visit...I did get pregnant on my first cycle of Clomid but this resulted in a miscarriage. After the visit with the doctor identifying that we would lose the baby, she never called to follow-up with me...It was challenging to me to never be able to communicate with her directly...she never did a SHG. When I transitioned to my current doctor, this was mandatory before any treatment and, sure enough, I had many polyps and had surgery to remove them. I feel like the one IUI with them was a complete waste of energy, emotion and money due to this not being tested.

Had I known then what I know now (mostly about the SHG), then I would have spoken up [at Froedtert & Medical College] about this being tested right in the beginning of my journey...I had a nurse (I do not remember her name) tell me that my appointments were not as important as IVF patients' appointments which hurt quite a bit...I only interacted with the nurses on the phone (which was a painful phone tag game) and for checking my blood pressure. They were virtually never in the room for any US or treatment. There were several medical students but very rarely were nurses there.

How was your experience with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Dr. Bosler was a very nice doctor - she did treat me with respect overall but I was ready to move on when my insurance actually forced me to switch. It was challenging to me to never be able to communicate with her directly since she (and the RN) were the only ones I ever saw in visits besides check-ins. My biggest disappointment, besides the lack of follow-up post miscarriage appointment by the doctor, was that she never did a SHG. When I transitioned to my current doctor, this was mandatory before any treatment and, sure enough, I had many polyps and had surgery to remove them. I feel like the one IUI with them was a complete waste of energy, emotion and money due to this not being tested.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Make sure you educate yourself if you are new to the entire process. Had I known then what I know now (mostly about the SHG), then I would have spoken up about this being tested right in the beginning of my journey. Although a VERY personal thing to be going through, try not to get worked up about them not remembering who you are...they do have many patients. Not that it makes it right, it just doesn't do you any good getting upset.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

There were several times that it seemed like she did not review my chart prior to walking into the visit. Whenever I called, no one knew who I was - I really did not have much of a relationship with anyone in that office to be honest. I did get pregnant on my first cycle of Clomid but this resulted in a miscarriage. After the visit with the doctor identifying that we would lose the baby, she never called to follow-up with me. At all. This hurt a lot to be honest.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

The first cycle of treatment (which had a positive test but eventual miscarriage) had the baseline ultrasound and then Clomid. At the mid-cycle ultrasound, the follicles were not as big as they wanted so she gave me another dose of Clomid (something my current clinic said they NEVER do). Had another mid-cycle US and then timed intercourse. Then, after my miscarriage, we did 2 more unsuccessful cycles with Clomid + timed intercourse. No mid-cycle extra doses on those. The last cycle of treatment there was Clomid + IUI. No trigger shot - which was entirely unsuccessful.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I only interacted with the nurses on the phone (which was a painful phone tag game) and for checking my blood pressure. They were virtually never in the room for any US or treatment. There were several medical students but very rarely were nurses there. I had a nurse (I do not remember her name) tell me that my appointments were not as important as IVF patients' appointments which hurt quite a bit. The most support I had from them, however, was when I was miscarrying. Even though I had never met half of the nurses, when they would call with my levels (which remained very high for 4 weeks...) they were compassionate and honest about being prepared for what was to come.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The phone tag can be very challenging for patients - especially new patients who have many questions/fears. Also, the scheduling with the doctor can be tough too - usually in the middle of the day, rarely times in the early morning to avoid taking off work, etc. Everyone was always really nice but just make sure to educate yourself the best you can and ask as many questions as you need to in your appointments.

Estil Strawn Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

We saw Dr. Strawn over the course of four years. While we didn't achieve pregnancy, I would still recommend him as a physician...The only time I came away questioning treatment is when our 5th embryo transfer didn't work, we were told to move to donor eggs without any real discussion if there were other medications or procedures we could try first. Maybe there weren't any, but that conversation wasn't had. We wanted to fully understand what was happening and we got a blanket answer.

Wait times were short and the doctors were mostly on time [at Froedtert & Medical College]. I forgave any times they we're running behind because I appreciated that they were taking time to be with other patients just like me. The facility was clean and most if not all procedures could be done right in the office including retrievals and transfers...I could see any of the doctors on staff. They all had different personalities which was refreshing. The nursing staff was outstanding. If I ever had questions, the doctors and nurses would take the time to explain processes, medications, and test results to me in way I could understand.

Dr. Strawn is smart, very smart, and it shows. He is straight forward but has good bedside manner. We saw Dr. Strawn over the course of four years.

Have patience and realize that the road ahead may not go the way you think it will - good or bad.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

At this clinic, I was Dr. Strawn's patient but I could see any of the doctors on staff. They all had different personalities which was refreshing. The nursing staff was outstanding. If I ever had questions, the doctors and nurses would take the time to explain processes, medications, and test results to me in way I could understand.

Describe the protocols Estil Strawn used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

After my initial blood panel, we were told this was unexplained infertility. All of our blood work, semen analysis, and diagnostic tests came back perfect. There was no reason two people at our age and in good health shouldn't be able to get pregnant. Our hopes were up! First step was IUI. I said no to clomid I was on letrozol. First round didn't work. We missed ovulation on the second, tried again the following month and a third time after that. All resulted in negative pregnancy tests. No adjustments to medications. From there we were urged to move to IVF. No other option. More blood tests, everything looked good with the exception of my vitamin D level which was a little low. I started taking over the counter supplements. We agreed to try IVF. This process proved to be very, very expensive for us. The medication doses continuously had to be increased. The first egg retrieval only got 4 eggs, 3 turned into embryos, 1 was discarded. We used one for a fresh transfer and one for a frozen transfer. The first tested negative, the second was positive but turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. I "miscarried" 2 days later. Dr. Strawn and his office said that was hopeful. I could in fact get pregnant. A year or so later we decided to do a second egg retrieval. This time my blood work showed a decrease in my AMH levels so they started me on high doses of injectables. This proved to be even more expensive but we we're hopeful! This time we got more eggs - 10! We got 7 embryos, 3 were discarded, 1 was transferred fresh, 3 were frozen. We followed up with another single frozen transfer and our last transfer was two embryos. All tested negative. All of our embryos were graded A or B. After this heartbreak we couldn't afford to do IVF any longer. Dr. Strawn said we could move on to donor eggs but we just couldn't afford it.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin. (Assigned nurse: Andrea S)

Andrea was amazing during both of my embryo transfers. If she saw me in the office after a negative cycle she would stop and say she was sorry. If I called with questions she knew who I was and what my treatment plan was.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The clinic is beautiful. The reception staff can be busy so have patience. When they help you, they're wonderful. Wait times were short and the doctors were mostly on time. I forgave any times they we're running behind because I appreciated that they were taking time to be with other patients just like me. The facility was clean and most if not all procedures could be done right in the office including retrievals and transfers.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Blood panel after insurance: $502.39 IUI was $1300 per cycle HSG: $1500 For IVF we we're part of the AttainIVF program which gave us a package of retrievals and transfers with guaranteed money back if we were not successful. That package was $27200. The cash price was $12000 without medications. Letrozole was $10 per prescription Crinone progesterone gel: $201.20 for 18 doses, $515.20 for 40.5 doses Gonal-F: $444 for 450units Menopur: $760 for 75 units Leuprolide: $145 qty 1 Chorionic Gonadotropin: $90 qty 1

Describe Estil Strawn's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Dr. Strawn was adamant that we should only do one embryo at a time. It wasn't until we has several unsuccessful transfers that he agreed, semi-reluctantly, to allow us a transfer with 2 embryos.

Review of

Estil Strawn Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

While I didn’t feel a ton of warmth from him [Dr. Strawn], I also didn’t ever feel like a number...My IVF was successful with Dr. Strawn and I’m totally satisfied with that. However from my first appointment with him he really pushed IVF when I wanted to try other options first like IUI or surgeries. And while he was right in the end (IUIs and surgery failed for me) I still would have appreciated a little more understanding that jumping right into IVF is daunting and expensive and just not the first step many couples want to take.

They [Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] recommended a single [embryo transfer] since I had a high number of embryos and I was still young...Everything felt updated and comfortable. Clean, modern, friendly, which wasn’t the case with another fertility clinic I was a patient at. It’s more expensive but worth it in my opinion. It truly felt like I was getting the best care from the best doctors.

Dr. Strawn and his team were all very straightforward and blunt, which was good and bad. While I didn’t feel a ton of warmth from him, I also didn’t ever feel like a number.

Describe the protocols Estil Strawn used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

I did 3 rounds of IUI with letrozole (because of a clomid allergy). The first was completed but didn’t result in a pregnancy, while the other two weren’t completed because the best follicles were on the side where I had a suspected blocked tube. IVF I was on stim injections for 14 days. Before my egg retrieval he told me it would be best if we froze all resulting embryos because i was at high risk of hyper stimulation syndrome. The egg retrieval was super successful - over 20 eggs and 12 embryos that made it to day 5. Dr. Strawn had me rest my body for a cycle, then started me on progesterone for a frozen transfer. The transfer was done, then I waited 10 days for a blood test. It was positive so I continued on progesterone for 6 weeks.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I believe IUI was about $1200 per try. IVF was about $10,000 plus another $6000 or so in drugs.

Estil Strawn Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

We started with a myomecromy [with Dr. Strawn] to remove a uterine polyp and when I was healed, began Clomid...Unfortunately I miscarried before 8 weeks, but Dr. Strawn felt very good that we could achieve a successful pregnancy with that combination, so once the miscarriage was done and I had two normal cycles, we started Femara again and the fourth IUI was a success...was very professional and matter-of-fact in discussing our situation (secondary infertility of unknown cause) at the outset.

I don’t recall having anything negative to say about my experience with the clinic [Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin]. I felt that their communication, availability and compassion were all excellent. I was very grateful to have that team so close to my home...I remember them [nurses] being very efficient and helpful...Dr. Strawn was very professional and matter-of-fact in discussing our situation (secondary infertility of unknown cause) at the outset.

How was your experience with Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

At times I felt a bit rushed at the routine appointments, but I still felt the quality of care was exceptional and I knew I could count on Dr. Strawn and the staff to answer my questions and be available when needed. I’ve recommended Dr. Strawn to several others and their results have also been positive.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

If you don’t understand something, don’t be afraid to ask for more information or a more basic explanation.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Estil Strawn at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Dr. Strawn was very professional and matter-of-fact in discussing our situation (secondary infertility of unknown cause) at the outset. When my third IUI resulted in a long-awaited pregnancy - and then a heartbreaking miscarriage before 8 weeks - he was incredibly compassionate. He consoled me for the loss, but said very frankly that I should not lose hope because we had finally discovered the right combination of things to get me pregnant (Femara & IUI) and he felt very good about being able to achieve a viable pregnancy. I conceived with the next IUI + Femara and it resulted in my little girl!

Describe the protocols Estil Strawn used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

After my regular OB-GYN had conducted the basic tests and couldn’t find a reason for us not conceiving a second child, i went to Dr. Strawn & Dr. Paul Robb to step things up. They repeated a few of the tests, checked other things and ultimately diagnosed secondary infertility of unknown cause. They felt we were good candidates for IUI, and given my age (36), decided to use Clomid. We started with a myomecromy to remove a uterine polyp and when I was healed, began Clomid. I had two cycles of IUI on Clomid that did not result in pregnancy. I had really bad headaches on Clomid and wasn’t fond of how I felt on it, but persevered. The third cycle on Clomid, I ended up developing a rare and disturbing visual side effect midway through and called Dr. Strawn’s office. They immediately had me stop taking Clomid and we opted not to move ahead with IUI that cycle so as to avoid wasting an IUI without the full course of Clomid. As I was then unable to continue on Clomid, we had to look at another option. He suggested Femara, a medication used to treat estrogen-related breast cancer, because it had a strong unintended fertility side effect but a much better side effect profile than Clomid. I took Femara for my third IUI - I felt great on it and it resulted in a pregnancy! Unfortunately I miscarried before 8 weeks, but Dr. Strawn felt very good that we could achieve a successful pregnancy with that combination, so once the miscarriage was done and I had two normal cycles, we started Femara again and the fourth IUI was a success. My daughter is now almost 7 years old!

Dr. Strawn is an intelligent physician and is very attentive to answer any question you may have. His bedside manner is warm and he is never rushed....I felt like Dr. Shawn tried to fit me into a generic protocol instead of making a protocol to fit me and my history....Our first IVF we used the antagonist protocol which we were happy with. Our second IVF we tried the Long Lupron protocol and it yielded four times the embryos.

The clinic[Froedtert] is full of nurses and a great support staff. The downside of that is you rarely see or talk to the same nursing staff and each time you contact the clinic you have to explain your situation and/or they have to read your chart. I wish I had one nurse to contact, even if I had to wait to hear back from them. There is a nurse line you'll wait forever on to get through and return calls and emails can take up to two days.

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

[Dr. Schoyer] was very open and honest about all of the steps that we had to take and the reasoning for each test...She definitely made me feel like a human she talked in a gentle non intimidating manner. She also gave me options throughout the whole way and did not force a decision on me...She did not agree with multiple embryo transfer but after listening to my needs she looked over my health history and decided to let me go ahead with it and giving me the risks of a twin birth or possibly triplets etc. She told me her concerns in a kind way .

The [Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin nurses] taught me the injections privately and made conversation during blood draws...I think the their strengths is them.showing kindness to patients that are in such a vulnerable state...I also think they would benefit from setting up payment plans with established patients..

How was your experience with Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

She was very open and honest about all of the steps that we had to take and the reasoning for each test. At one point I had something pop up and a hystrosonogram so I had to come back for a more extensive one that was much more expensive I was crushed...but when I got there the machine was down so they repeated the hystrosonogram at no cost and it was a huge blessing. When I had 2 miscarriages she listened to my concerns that I wanted a natural transfer cycle so I did not have to be medicated and just took ovulation tests at home and they transfered a few days after a positive. She also listened for our reasoning of transferring our last two embryos because we had completely run out of money and it was our last chance. She is a wonderful doctor.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

To be honest with her as well and open to any of her medical information to help you bring your baby to fruition. She is very capable and open to hearing your needs as well.

She definitely made me feel like a human she talked in a gentle non intimidating manner. She also gave me options throughout the whole way and did not force a decision on me. She personally called me once she heard I had a second miscarriage and was a great comfort and encouragement and even though she did not fully agree with transferring two embryos she listened to my reasoning and was able to let me go ahead with a two embryo transfer which was successful and we have two beautiful girls from that ivf cycle.

Describe the protocols Kate Schoyer used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

We used the agonist protocol . I was on ganirelix, gonal f , menopur and preg/Lupron. I took 75 units of both gonal f and Menopur until trigger which was 1500 preg and 40 Lupron . I had 10 eggs 7 embryos and 4 survived the 5 days. We had one transfer a few days after retrieval and then I was on progesterone injections. I became pregnant but miscarried shortly after. Waited a month had a period then had a natural transfer and that one did not stick. Went right into another natural cycle had the transfer and then used progesterone suppositories and it resulted in my two girls.

I think the their strengths is them.showing kindness to patients that are in such a vulnerable state. Their biggest weakness which I am sure is for most places is that they make you get "retested" which cost thousands if you haven't seen them in a year as someone who has been seeking fertility treatment for 9 years I have had to get retested many times even though we have male factor infertility because we didn't have the means to finish out a cycle at that time or other things going on with life. I also think they would benefit from setting up payment plans with established patients

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I do not recall exact but consult was around 400 . Hystersonogram was 1500 ivf with icsi was 12000 medications were 3000 additional transfers were 3000 and ultrasounds were 200

Describe Kate Schoyer's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

She did not agree with multiple embryo transfer but after listening to my needs she looked over my health history and decided to let me go ahead with it and giving me the risks of a twin birth or possibly triplets etc. She told me her concerns in a kind way .

While there are always some limitations in a setting like this around LGBT and trans competence, we have been pleasantly surprised with how welcoming everyone is and the effort that everyone at the clinic is clearly putting in, from reception staff to doctors.

Review of

Stephanie Gunderson Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

I think she [Dr. Stephanie Gunderson] excels at showing compassion and taking your viewpoint and your wishes into account. She approaches things delicately which I think is needed when going through an incredibly emotional time...I appreciated that the first thing she asked me was what I wanted. She didn't push me into anything and took the time to listen to me and understand.

[Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin is] Great at communicating and keeping you informed. They also offer financial counseling and lay things out clearly as to what to expect financially which is appreciated during an already stressful time...They respond to phone calls and online messages in a prompt manner and are very kind, caring and compassionate.

How was your experience with Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

I think she excels at showing compassion and taking your viewpoint and your wishes into account. She approaches things delicately which I think is needed when going through an incredibly emotional time. As someone who has been diagnosed with unexplained infertility I can become easily frustrated with not having answers and told there is nothing wrong with me yet I have a limited chance of conceiving naturally. I understand that treatment is the next best recommendation but I am still left a bit discouraged that I couldn't find a doctor to help me put all the puzzle pieces together and help us find out why it isn't happening and help us figure out how to get pregnant naturally as that has been the goal.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Don't be afraid to ask any and all questions, she will answer in a kind, informative manner.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

During the initial consult I appreciated that the first thing she asked me was what I wanted. She didn't push me into anything and took the time to listen to me and understand.

Describe the protocols Stephanie Gunderson used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

My husband and I have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. All of the diagnostic tests have come back as "normal." This cycle we are pursuing for the first time Letrozole with timed insemination monitored with ultrasound as our treatment method.

Review of

Jayme Bosler Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

Dr. Bosler was a very good listener. I wanted to do a more "natural" cycle without taking birth control pills and she allowed that. Dr. Bosler was very open to any concerns that I had regarding medications and was able to answer any questions I had regarding the process of the egg retrieval and freezing my embryos...I though Dr. Bosler was really receptive to wanting to try things that maybe weren't part of their "normal" protocol.

I felt like the staff [at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] was compassionate and friendly. Almost all of the doctors were on time to their appointments and if they were a bit late they apologized profusely. I felt really welcome at the clinic...As an LGBTQ person I am not always sure how people are going to treat me or react. I felt that the staff was very welcoming and kind to my wife and I and it may seem like a small action, but there were rainbow flags on some of the desks and rainbow pins on some of the nurses/doctors lanyards.

How was your experience with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

One piece of advice would be to be upfront, honest, and transparent with your hopes/dreams from the start. I though Dr. Bosler was really receptive to wanting to try things that maybe weren't part of their "normal" protocol.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Dr. Bosler was amazing. Although I worked with all 4 doctors at Froedtert, I would highly recommend any of them. Dr. Bosler was very personable. She was kind, caring, and a great listener.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

Call when your next period starts An ultrasound will be scheduled for day two or three of your cycle. Have ultrasound performed Begin stimulation medication/injections: Lupron prevents ovulation: taken on day 2-11 (.2 mL) Gonal F- stimulates ovaries: taken day 5-11 (150 units days 5-7 and 125 units days 8-11) Menopur - stimulates ovaries: taken day 5-11 (150 units) HCG shot- 10,000 units specific time before retrieval

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Overall our experience with the nurses was great. I think that the nursing staff could have done a better job at preparing patients about what they are going to experience throughout the entire journey. I started this process during Covid so a lot was done virtually or over mychart/phone and not in person so that could have played a large role in it.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I felt like the staff was compassionate and friendly. Almost all of the doctors were on time to their appointments and if they were a bit late they apologized profusely. I felt really welcome at the clinic. Infertility is a really scary thing so to have doctors and nurses who I felt like they cared a lot, it made the process easier that it could have been. I think that the nursing staff could do a better job sometimes at communicating regarding "future steps" but again, so much was done not in person that I understand things can get lost in translation.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Consultations: $286, $266 Bloodwork/ultrasound: $1,486.55 Medication cost: $456, $250, $1,434 Egg Retrieval: $11,520 Sperm from California Cryobank: $1275 Estimated Total cost: $15,965.55

Describe Jayme Bosler's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I did not do my transfer yet. I believe the Froedtert policy is transferring one embryo at a time until you are 37. After age 37 they evaluate if they should transfer 1 or 2 embryos at a time.

How competent was Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin at LGBTQ care?

As an LGBTQ person I am not always sure how people are going to treat me or react. I felt that the staff was very welcoming and kind to my wife and I and it may seem like a small action, but there were rainbow flags on some of the desks and rainbow pins on some of the nurses/doctors lanyards.

Describe your experience using 3rd party reproduction (donor eggs, donor sperm, or gestational carrier) at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

My wife and I chose donor sperm from California Cryobank. We had the sperm shipped to the Menomonee Falls Clinic and everything was very effortless. The nurse helped get the sheet filled out and signed by the doctor and everything went according to plan with shipping and arrival dates.

Review of

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

When Dr. Schoyer walks into the room, I instantly felt belittled. The concerns I had about my body were not taken seriously and I felt as though I was the next one up on the assembly line and if I didn't do what she said she would cut me as a patient...I asked doctor Schoyer to help me get to the root cause of my hormonal imbalances. Instead I got prescriptions for medication I never asked for. After asking for help with the root causes she said "she's not sure"...Doctor Schoyer ordered 20 tests at least and never went over a single one...

The clinic [Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] is not afraid to tell you how busy they always are and it makes individual care next to impossible to get...Some nurses were tolerable. Others were the least compassionate people...You’ll feel like a number the second you walk in. Wait times for an appointment are excessively long. There is no wiggle room for anything with “treatment”plans they customize nothing...

How was your experience with Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

She was just alright. After an emotional journey of infertility I was looking for an exceptional doctor that left me feeling good about treatment options and hope for the future. After all of the testing I’ve undergone I can honestly say I’m leaving the clinic feeling less hopeful than ever.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

No treatment plans will be catered to you. You will be simply a number when you step foot in an appointment. If you’re willing to be treated like a number and just want to get pregnant, then she’d be a good fit.

Some nurses were tolerable. Others were the least compassionate people. I think it's particularly rude when you had a child die in pregnancy and instead of reading your file they ask, "have you ever been pregnant?". A simple scan of a file could have avoided an extremely uncomfortable and emotional question.

Review of

Stephanie Gunderson Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

She [Dr. Gunderson] is not a good communicator. I felt like I never knew what the next steps were...when I asked her if I should do fresh or frozen IVF, her response was “what do you want to do?” I was disappointed with that response….I’m paying tens of thousands of dollars for these doctors’ clinical expertise, yet I have to do my own homework to determine whether I should do fresh or frozen?… I had to micromanage everything during my seven months under her care...

They [Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] don’t have an IVF/nurse coordinator, which is odd. You as the patient are responsible for essentially being your own coordinator. Making phone calls to determine insurance coverage, figuring out the financial packages, researching was a “stimulation” means, researching what “egg retrieval” means…the fact that I had to do my own research on what egg retrieval is because no one explained it to me, is really concerning.

How was your experience with Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Although Dr. Gunderson has a very nice demeanor, she is not a very strong clinician. She misses details (forgot to order my genetic screening); when her patients are seen by the other doctors in clinic, she does not follow their treatment course. She is not a good communicator. I felt like I never knew what the next steps were. When I tried my 2nd cycle of IUI and it was unsuccessful, she said “ok so looks like we can’t do it this time. Have a nice weekend”. I had to reel her back into the consult room to ask about what next steps for IVF are. She said “oh you just call with the first day of your period”. Her response was very….”duh, why don’t you know this?” Additionally, when I asked her if I should do fresh or frozen IVF, her response was “what do you want to do?” I was disappointed with that response….I’m paying tens of thousands of dollars for these doctors’ clinical expertise, yet I have to do my own homework to determine whether I should do fresh or frozen?… I had to micromanage everything during my seven months under her care. I eventually transferred clinics.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Change doctors sooner rather than later. You want a doctor who is a strong clinician and can get you pregnant…not a doctor that asks what your plans are this weekend. Don’t waste months and months with her clinic like I did.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

At the Froedtert fertility clinic, you will not only see your primary doctor. You will see one of four doctors. They rotate clinic days, ultrasound days, surgery days, etc. In doing so, they really don’t know the details of their patients well at all. For example, prior to my first IUI cycle, I had a doctor (who was not my primary doctor) doing my ultrasound. I have a problem with my left tube. He said “so the right tube is the one that’s giving us problems”. And my husband and I said ummm no. Additionally, my primary doctor forgot to order a genetic screening test on me. It wasn’t until I was getting a second opinion at a different clinic that was informing me about genetic screening that I realized that my Froedtert doctor never ordered a genetic test. I messaged her to make her aware and she said “yes you should get one”. I was incredibly frustrated that this was missed. They are very sloppy.

Describe the protocols Stephanie Gunderson used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

I had an HSN, then a hysteroscopy with removal of polyps. Followed by two cycles of IUI. Both IUI cycles had a 5 day stim with Letrozole from Day 3-7. Then ultrasound monitoring from day 11-16.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The nursing staff are one of the reasons why I transferred fertility clinics. Whenever I would send a message to my doctor, the nurses would answer without checking their response with the doctor first. (I work in healthcare, and this is actually illegal. Nurses don’t have a license to make treatment decisions). After two incorrect answers from the nursing staff, I informed Dr. Gunderson. She did apologize and say that she would speak to her nursing staff, but I’m not entirely sure that that happened. Had I not double checked a nursing recommendation, I would have been an entire treatment cycle behind. A nurse told me that I had to wait at least one cycle after a procedure that I had. I double checked with the doctor on the day that I had the procedure and he confirmed that that was untrue.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience. The doctors are unorganized, the wait times are VERY long (it takes over 2 months to get an initial consult and then approximately 6 months before you can start IVF because they “don’t have room in the lab”). They don’t have an IVF/nurse coordinator, which is odd. You as the patient are responsible for essentially being your own coordinator. Making phone calls to determine insurance coverage, figuring out the financial packages, researching was a “stimulation” means, researching what “egg retrieval” means…the fact that I had to do my own research on what egg retrieval is because no one explained it to me, is really concerning. The one strength is that the parking at the clinic was convenient. And the building was clean.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Stephanie Gunderson at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

My initial visit was approximately $800 for a one hour virtual consultation. My IUI was about $1300 per cycle.

Describe Stephanie Gunderson's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I transferred to a different fertility clinic before I underwent embryo transfer. However, I was told that the stance of Froedtert fertility clinic is that they absolutely will NOT do multiple embryo transfer because it is more high risk for complications (at least, this is what they told me)

What specific things went wrong at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy
Failed to order appropriate test
Failed to send your chart to another clinic
Failed to inform you of changes in protocol
Provided conflicting information
Failed to convey critical information

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

I had to micromanage everything at this clinic. By the end, I had no trust in the doctors and nurses because I was identifying and correcting all of their mistakes. I understand that everyone makes mistakes but the mistakes kept happening and happening. Even after I spoke with their clinic manager.

Review of

Jayme Bosler Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

At the initial visit Dr Bosler looked over my previous testing and cycles, talked to us about our specific family goals, and then laid out several treatment options...She tailored the testing and medical interventions around what we had already completed and the testing which most closely aligned with our personal goals...We plan to try up to four medicated IUI sessions

Everyone who works [at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] from the front desk on is supportive and 100% invested in growing our family. We appreciated that we could meet with the financial advisor during the consultation...We were not notified of delaying cycles until I called to tell them I was at CD1 and ready for them to call in meds...I feel they should have reached out in the weeks prior with that update

How was your experience with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

We were referred to Dr Bosler by my general ob/gyn (who is also RE board certified), after 1 miscarriage, 1 chemical, and subsequently 8 months of anovulatory cycles. Dr Bosler also came highly recommended by two close friends who have been blessed with babies as a result of Dr Bosler's care. Anyway, back to our experience. At the initial visit Dr Bosler looked over my previous testing and cycles, talked to us about our specific family goals, and then laid out several treatment options. In the end decisions were all left to us, but she was there to thoroughly explain the options and help us understand what each would entail. We did not need to redo the majority of our testing- Dr Bosler just added on a couple extra tests to be performed before our first treatment. We were set to start IUI two months ago, however now we are waiting until the COVID situation has resolved. We plan to try up to four medicated IUI sessions once it is safe to do so.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Get your testing done early so when you go to the initial visit you have those results and can talk through them with Dr Bosler.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Dr. Bosler was very personable in our first meeting. She asked tons of questions related to fertility obviously, but also seemed interested in our pets, hobbies, and jobs. It was like talking to a friend. She tailored the testing and medical interventions around what we had already completed and the testing which most closely aligned with our personal goals.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

At this point we are only doing letrozole 7.5mg with timed intercourse. Once the clinic is reopened we will continue with the letrozole and do a monitored cycle with trigger and IUI.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Most of the contact we have had with the nurses has been via phone or mychart. They have been efficiant and thorough in those communications.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

We do not have any infertility coverage in our insurance. Our diagnostic testing was all covered. The inital consult appointment was around $300. IUI is able to be done with or without US monitoring, and with or without medications so there is a large variance in cost.

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

she [Dr. Kate Schoyer] was absolutely fantastic! So easy to talk to and kind and knowledgeable in her field. She fully explained everything to us while we were going through the whole process and took my questions into consideration. She never made me feel like my PCOS and anovulation is a disease...I met with the doctor at every appointment, all ultrasounds were done with her, some had a student that was taught in the field. She treated me like a girlfriend and was so easy to talk to. She took my feelings into account but also didn't beat around the bush.

The whole team [at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] was fantastic, I feel like they knew me as a person and not a number. They were always helpful and responsive. My husband and I were airways greeted at the door and always felt welcome, we were never rushed while there. If we had questions we never left without having answered all of them. Everyone always took the time to measure us feel comfortable.

She knew that I work in the field as a nurse so I know the medical jargon and understood pretty much everything. She would make my husband feel good during appointments too.

Describe the protocols Kate Schoyer used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

I believe I was in the agonist protocol. I chose to be on follistim (due to cost, we were self pay for everything), menopur, ganirelix; I triggered with Lupton. I was on meds for 9 days, never had any dose changes, I went to clinic every other day for 3 appointments and then daily. Egg retrieval went as expected, we retrieved 29 eggs, 23 were mature and 22 fertilized. We had 18 frozen between day 5 and 6. Per embryology 14 were A quality and 4 were B. The only thing I was not expecting was to have a frozen cycle, due to my pcos i was at a very high risk of ohss and after discussing with my doctor we made the decision to do a freeze all cycle to allow my hormones to get back to someone normal. I waited 1 cycle and then did a frozen cycle with estradiol oral tabs and progesterone im injections. That cycle was not successful, wet proceeded immediately into another cycle with same provo and was successful. Our daughter was born at 36 weeks due to predisposition Pre-eclampsia. I spontaneously got pregnant naturally 4 months postpartum and our second daughter was born at 38 em weeks due to Pre-eclampsia 2 weeks after her sister turned 1 year old.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Fantastic, she checked me on for every skintight and called me by the end of every visit with an update and how the plan was going. If I evert carried in with a question I always got a response back she day.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The whole team was fantastic, I feel like they knew me as a person and not a number. They were always helpful and responsive. My husband and I were airways greeted at the door and always felt welcome, we were never rushed while there. If we had questions we never left without having answered all of them. Everyone always took the time to measure us feel comfortable.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Hsg $500 Ivf guarantee program $23,000 (this covered ask appointments, ultrasounds, blood work, everything related to retrieval like sedation and icsi this was standard for all patients, transfers, ultrasounds and bloodwork.) Ivf meds $4000

Describe Kate Schoyer's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

my doctor was not comfortable doing transfers with more than one embryo for my situation, my amh was very high and the quality of embryos that we got with being almost 35 at the time a twin pregnancy would have been a risk she was not willing to do and to be honest my husband and I never had the intention of trying to transfer more than 1. We were in a guarantee program that we paid a higher amount for and were given the opportunity to have up to 3 retrievals and unlimited transfers. I was not expecting the first cycle to be successful. I heard so many ditties and take to many people that it took more than one try. I completely understand her reasoning and knowing and going through 2 emergency deliveries i could not imagine that with a twin pregnancy. I do have a friend that went to my same doctor and based on her and her husband history she did have a transfer with 2 embryos and had a triplet pregnancy. So I know that she goes far by case and looks at the individual situating and has a recommendation.

Review of

Jay Sandlow Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

Dr. Sandlow was thorough in his explanation of our situation. I liked that he was straight-forward and explained why he did or did not want to do additional testing. He explained our situation, his thoughts, and what our next steps would be. I felt like he was very knowledgeable and had our best interests in mind...he gave me the information I needed and referred me to the appropriate doctor

It's a very nice, clean and private clinic [at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin]. They responded to questions very quickly. We had some issues with them receiving imaging results, but that wasn't their fault. Overall we liked the clinic, however it felt a bit impersonal at times...I only had a couple visits with Dr. Sandlow, his resident was really good, and the nurses were friendly as well.

Describe the protocols Jay Sandlow used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

Dr. Sandlow referred me to an endocrinologist to start me on a medication to help with low-t. He explained that we would see how the medication helped, and if IUI worked, before we would potentially look into further testing. He ordered some additional testing, but it was pretty basic. We haven't had luck yet but I think we investigated my issues enough.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

They had issues receiving some imaging results, and we never did get a full follow-up on the results. But they were working to get the complete results sent to them. It was an issue because the imaging was coming from a different medical provider, so I don't think it was their fault.

She was not my doctor for the IUI’s, but she took the time to understand what happened and set a new course.

The clinic [Froedtert & Medical College of WI] is great. Most, if not all, tests can be completed onsite (including male tests).

From the moment I first had my consultation, I felt listened to. The consultation took place in an office room setting verse an examine room. After tests we didn’t discuss them on the phone.

Dr. Bosler ordered some of the same tests I had done with my previous Gyno, but in addition she added two more.

I had previously tried IUI with my Gyno. We tried two cycles but my follicles never became eggs. His honesty was welcoming. He said he didn’t know enough about better drugs to get me to ovulate so he recommended I see a specialist. Dr. Bosler ordered some of the same tests I had done with my previous Gyno, but in addition she added two more. The two she added were my egg quality and amount and an in-depth hormone saliva test.

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

Dr. Schoyer was wonderful to work with. We felt that she was very respectful, while still delivering honest feedback. While we suffered negative results and setbacks, she constantly reassured us and adjusted our treatment plan to achieve better results. She was great with responding to our questions and concerns, even over the weekends through their online messaging. We felt like we were in great hands with Dr. Schoyer and would recommend her to anyone.

The great thing about the facility [Froedtert & Med College of WI] is that all procedures can be performed in the same office. So from ultrasound monitoring to egg retrieval, we were comfortable and familiar with the settings. ... Her [Dr. Schoyer] clinic is a strong proponent of single embryo transfer and has a lot of research and data that they presented to back this up.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

She really took the time to talk with us and get to know us as we went through treatment.

Describe the protocols Kate Schoyer used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

After a full workup, we decided to attempt IUI. The first was done in a natural cycle and was unsuccessful. The following three were completed in a medicated cycle with clomid and HCG trigger shots. All three were unsuccessful and we then made the decision to switch to IVF. Our first IVF cycle utilized the most basic protocol. We were disappointed in our outcome with only 2 viable day 5 embryos. We attempted one fresh and one frozen transfer, both unsuccessful. For our second round of IVF, we escalated to a Lupron protocol with hopes of getting more, high quality embryos. This protocol yielded more than double the amount of day 5 embryos. We transferred one fresh (negative outcome) and one frozen to achieve pregnancy.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The nurses we dealt with were all extremely knowledgable and empathetic. We felt they genuinely cared about us and were rooting for our success.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

I had four cycles with IUI using Clomid. The first cycle and fourth cycles I required dose adjustments and multiple ultrasounds. I had an hcg injection for my first cycle. After a pregnancy and miscarriage with my fourth cycle we agreed to try up to 3 more Luis. For my fifth cycle I was changed to Letrezole and produced good follicles and received another hcg injection. My sixth cycle was not completed due to multiple new onset cysts.

Dr. Bosler listened to my concerns and questions. She made me feel like she wanted the best outcome for my husband and I, and she helped us to understand our treatment options.... Dr. Bosler did a great job of making me feel comfortable as a patient. She explained the diagnosis that my husband received, which was CBAVD. She helped us to understand how we could still do IVF to get pregnant, and she explained what this entailed and the risks. Every time we meet with her she is always very empathetic and provides us with great information to help us as we move forward with the IVF process.

The clinic [Froedtert & Medical College] is very easy to contact, and we have always been able to schedule appointments within a reasonable amount of time. One struggle is that I have to be at work early before the clinic is open, so when we begin IVF I will need to come in late to work because of the appointment times for bloodworm and ultrasounds during my egg retrieval cycle... The nursing staff is always welcoming and friendly. They are knowledgeable and have been able to answer all of my questions.

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

I feel like when I do see the doctor [Dr. Schoyer] it seems so rushed that she's hardly taken the time to get to know myself or my husband as people. I know her job is mainly to get us pregnant but I feel that she could be a little more personal as this is a very personal and difficult journey. She is always polite and nice to us just lacking on the understanding of getting to know us. I wish our appointments weren't always so abrupt.

Some of the nurses I have spoken to on the phone [at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] have been absolutely wonderful! Some of the nurses seemed to be lacking in compassion when it comes to such a sensitive treatment plan. Some of the nurses will really take the time to listen to my questions and answer bit others can be cold an abrupt. It seems to be hit or miss, however, I feel like more often I have gotten compassionate nurses on the phone.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Be firm on what you want. Don't be afraid to ask her to elaborate or explain something again. I know she can talk kind of quickly and sometimes seems like she's rushing but don't be afraid to ask her to be in the moment with you. This is an incredibly personal journey and you need to feel confident in the doctor you are working with.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Everytime I go to the office they are very busy and usually running behind. I typically will get in about 5-15 minutes later than my scheduled appointment. When I do finally see the doctor it is so brief that I hardly have time to think of the questions I have prepared and asked them.

Describe the protocols Kate Schoyer used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

We first did one cycle of Femara with time intercourse, ultrasound monitoring, and a trigger shot. I had on mature follicle. This did not result in a pregnancy. Second, we did an IUI with Femara, ultrasound monitoring, and a trigger shot. The NP did the IUI, not Dr Schoyer. I had one mature follicle. She also did a follow-up progesterone level 1 week after the IUI. This IUI did not result in a pregnancy. Third, we did a second IUI with Femara (we upped my dose from 2.5mg to 5mg), ultrasound monitoring, and a trigger shot. I had two mature follicles. I am currently 1 week into my two week wait to see if IUI #2 was a success.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

It is a very busy clinic so sometimes it's hard to feel like your experience is personal. I know at times I have gone to make an appointment and literally only one time slot is available, and then the clinic runs late anyways. It can be very frustrating at times because they are not super flexible. However, some of the staff does try to be accommodating and helpful.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

Our insurance is a 25,000 lifetime max and our coverage is usually pretty good. Lab work was very minimal if we had to pay anything at all. My HSG was pretty pricey, I don't remember the exact cost but I think it was in the $350-550 range. We pay $135 per ultrasound, the ultrasound with the HCG trigger shot is about $175. Our total for IUI #1 with 1 ultrasound was about $385. We did two ultrasounds for IUI #2 so I'm estimating the cost to be closer to $450-500.

Describe Kate Schoyer's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

We have not talked much about IUI but from what little we have discusses it sounds like Dr Schoyer is typically in favor of single embryo transfer.

Review of

Jayme Bosler Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

My treatment protocol [with Dr. Jayme Boslie] was the long Lupron protocol which included a birth control down regulation. I was stimulated with Menopur and Gonal F and triggered with HCG. I ended up with 30+ follicles and 14 mature eggs from that. Because of my response they did a great job of monitoring me close and adjusting meds as needed.... Dr. Bosler took the time that we needed to always answer all questions. She was direct like when we no longer could do a fresh transfer and had to switch to a freeze all. She explained the reasoning and took the time to make sure that we felt good about that decision. She always came into our appointments positively and was able to given us very reasonable expectations which I appreciated.

They [Froedert & Medical College of WI] offered Attain packages as well as their own package pricing of 12,000 which includes monitoring ultrasound and blood work, egg retrieval, anesthesia, ICSI, embryo transfer fees and freezing of embryos (doesn’t include medication). If cancelled before retrieval you get refunded 8,700 and if cancelled before transfer you get a 1,550 refund or credit. Their freeze all IvF package is 10,450 + 3,000 for the frozen transfer (again includes monitoring for both). Refund of 7,150 prior to egg retrieval and 2,150 if cancelled prior to embryo transfer. Different charges if you had your monitoring elsewhere. Like we did since we lived over an hour away. We received a financial booklet that laid out all the costs. We also paid extra for some genetic screening which was $349 without insurance

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

My treatment protocol was the long Lupron protocol which included a birth control down regulation. I was stimulated with Menopur and Gonal F and triggered with HCG. I ended up with 30+ follicles and 14 mature eggs from that. Because of my response they did a great job of monitoring me close and adjusting meds as needed.

The nursing staff was amazing. They were the ones that were calling me to adjust meds, explaining things thoroughly, and providing compassion throughout the process. Loved them all!

Jayme Bosler Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

She [Dr. Jayme Bosler] will tell you the truth even if its hard to hear. She ensured we were well informed as to our options and the pros and cons of each so we could make a well informed decision. She was respectful of our decisions and we never felt she was pushing her own personal bias on us....She is very passionate about Reproductive Medicine and has been for most of her adult life, she was an egg donor herself, and left an engineering career to pursue a Medical Degree in order to commit her life to helping other create the family they dream of. I can not say enough great things about Dr. Bosler as a medical professional and a person.

Whenever I speak with Heather [nurse at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin] I feel like she is my best friend. She always knows who I am and communicates professionally...per Egg Retreival Cycle - $12,000; Medications $4,000 per FET - $3,000; Medications- $260...They are very organized. Of course people have days off and there are times when I have spoken to someone I don't know, or haven't met before. But, everyone I have spoke with has been professional, and taken the time to look up my case and respond appropriately or refer me to someone else.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

I realize the Doctors see many patients daily and weekly in various stages of TTC. I always felt they were prepared and knew exactly where I was at in my cycle and stage of TTC at every appointment.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

We used 2 different protocols for each of my egg retrieval cycles. I was very hesitant at first because we were lucky enough to be successful with having a child from our initial IVF cycle. Dr Bosler called me herself and explained to me the reasoning for the change was to attempt to create better egg quality verses quantity. I had 28 eggs retrieved my first cycle and 5 made it to freeze. My second cycle, 22 eggs were retrieved and again 5 made it to freeze. So her planned worked, the retrieval to freeze ratio was better the 2nd round.

Yes. Dr Bosler explained the odds of successful pregnancy and the odds for multiple births to me. I have found this is a controversial topic as there are many studies that support both sides. Ultimately, it comes down to deciding whether or not a multiple pregnancy is right for us.

Kate Schoyer Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

She [Dr. Schoyer] did not make us feel rushed, listened to our concerns, and did a day 3 transfer related to our history of embryos arresting. We appreciated her attention to detail as well. She is a very intelligent women.... She used birth control for a few weeks, Menopur 75 and Follistim 125 adding Ganirelex closer to retrieval. They grew my eggs slow and steady since last round I stimmed too quickly. Dr Shoyer monitored me closly throughout the cycle and was very observant.

Strengths- [Froedtert & Medical College of WI] research based, time management (didn’t feel rushed ever) compassion, the package pricing, my husband said their male room is better then our previous clinic haha Weakness-not clinics fault but financial burden of IVF... nurse line goes to voicemail a lot (but they always return the call in the same business day)... Andrea, Bridgett, and Heather were angels. They remembered our journey and previous conversations.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kate Schoyer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

To bring a notebook as this process is so overwhelming, let the small things go (as infertility is a roller coaster of emotions), and trust the process because Dr Shoyer has a lot of wisdom and experience.

Describe Kate Schoyer's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

She definitely wanted us to go the single route based off research. But because of our history and the fact it was a day 3 (less info on which would survive to day 5) she was open to let us make that decision. We did decide to do 2 because of those reasons.

Review of

Jayme Bosler Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin

Dr. Bosler was wonderful to work with. She not only understood my goals and took the time to learn my health history, but she also took into account my personal circumstances (such as finances and insurance coverage) and helped me factor that into my decision making. She clearly laid out my chances and risks with each course of treatment, and when I didn't conceive within the first few tries, she consulted with other doctors both within and outside the practice to help determine what further testing might be wise and which approach might be best for next steps.

The nursing staff at the clinic [Froedert Fertility] was really on top of things. I worked with a variety of nurses over the course of my treatment, and they always had quick access to all the information they needed. They were always able to respond to my questions quickly and explained things clearly. They were also very compassionate and professional regarding failed cycles.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - the doctor is willing to spend time to help you understand your best options.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin?

Dr. Bosler always took as much time as necessary to listen and answer questions. At this particular clinic, IUIs and ultrasounds are handled by the available doctors, so I didn't always see Dr. Bosler, but it was very clear that they consulted about me before I saw other doctors in the practice for procedures and they discussed my case. My care was very consistent and personalized.

Describe the protocols Jayme Bosler used in your cycles at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin and their degree of success.

I did six cycles of IUIs with donor sperm. My test results showed no expected fertility problems and were very good for my age, but my long and slightly irregular cycles prompted Dr. Bosler to suggest using Clomid to increase the chances of ovulation. Cycles 1 and 2 involved 50 mg clomid days 3-7, monitoring ultrasounds to track follicle growth, a trigger shot administered when lead follicle was at least 18 mm, with IUI the next day (days 17 and 18). Both cycles resulted in negative HPT. Cycles 3 and 4 still used 50 mg clomid on days 3-7, but ovulation was tracked using ovulation predictor kits at home (at my request). These cycles had later IUIs (days 20 and 21). Both resulted in negative HPT. At this point, I had another consult with Dr. Bosler, who, after speaking with another doctor in the practice, Dr. Strawn, ordered some additional tests to look at cortisone and testosterone levels. Due to some slightly high results, I was referred to an endocrinologist outside the practice, eventually getting a PCOS diagnosis. After that diagnosis, Dr. Bosler met with me again to discuss options, looking at both my test results and what was financially feasible for me. We decided to continue with IUIs. Cycles 5 and 6 were on 5 mg Letrozole, which produced more follicles for me than clomid. There were monitoring ultrasounds for both rounds and a trigger shot with the IUI the next day. Cycle 5 was a negative HPT, but cycle 6 was a success, with a positive HPT followed by doubling beta tests.

Describe your experience with Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

This clinic is a well-oiled machine. I was very worried going into fertility treatments about the amount of information, the financial aspect of it, insurance coverage, privacy, etc. But the clinic had everything covered. From the front desk staff to the schedulers to the financial coordinator to the nurses -- they are in sync. They are professional yet compassionate, and I felt very supported by the entire team.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Jayme Bosler at Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin.

The clinic provided a complete overview of all costs, from testing to procedures, with prices for insured and uninsured patients. My testing costs were covered by insurance, so I do not know the totals for those. My IUIs were $800 each, not including monitoring or the trigger shot, which were covered by insurance.
