When my husband and I first met Dr Parry, he was thoughtful and understanding of our situation. No question that we had was a dumb question to ask. Before we finished our consult, he gave us his business card with his personal phone number on the back and said to call him day or night if we had any questions. We believe Dr Parry has a large customer base, yet he always knew who we were and our situation...After each IUI that did not take, Not only were my husband and I disappointed, but Dr Parry was too. He is so invested with your process just as you are. Dr Parry explained to us the reason for why we were not getting pregnant and it was due to male infertility issues.

As an example, on certain testing that requires up front payment, when we had maxed out our budget he offered to bill us “down the road”.

Dr Parry is a very straight forward person and can explain things to where you will understand them.

Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
Since we found out that my husband has a male infertility issue, Dr Parry wanted me to do his Parryscope procedure. Last April we went in and did the scope and everything came back “text book perfect” according to him. In May we did the first IUI procedure. He had me take 1 pill (Letrozole) 3 days after my cycle for 5 days. We then went in for an ultrasound and I had 1 egg to drop that month. We proceeded with the insemination. Unfortually, I did not make it to the 14 day waiting period. He realized that I have a short Luteal phase. He started me on taking 2 pills for 6 days. When we went in for the ultrasound, I had 1 egg again. My husband and I decided to hold off on the insemination that month. Once I stared my cycle, Dr Parry bumped my medicine up to 3 pills and take for 7 days. That following ultrasound showed 2 eggs! We were very excited and proceeded with the insemination. I made it to the 14 day waiting period but my cycle came. We had 1 more chance at IUI so he kept my medicine the same for that month. The ultrasound showed 2 eggs again so we agreed to do it that month. 14 days later, my cycle started. We were all disappointed, even Dr Parry. We met with him again to get a new game plan and have decided to do IVF. He believes that our chance of bringing home a baby is very high. He believes that IVF will work for us.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Positive Steps Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Vickie Butler and Brittany.)
Vickie was very sweet, calm, and understanding. She answered our questions to the best of her ability. If we happened to ask a question that she did not know the answer, she had no problem asking Dr Parry. Every time we called and left a message for her, she returned our call before she left for the day.

He also gave me his cell phone number if I had any questions and concerns.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
As always, do your own research, but I trust Dr. Parry and his opinion.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Dr. Parry is very kind and knowledgeable. He explains every detail in terms that are easy to understand. He also encourages his patients to ask questions. He told me to come in with a list of questions and he would answer each one. He also gives patients his cell phone number and says to call with any questions or concerns. The nurses are also incredible. They call you by first name, and one of them even called me on their cell phone to give me test results after hours.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
After the first consultation, which took about 30-45 minutes, he determined that an ultrasound and the Parryscope procedure was the first course of action. This procedure is similar to a hysteroscope, but was pain-free for me. They fill your uterus with saline (no dyes), and use a camera to look at your uterus and use air bubbles to see if your tubes are opened or blocked.

Describe your experience with Positive Steps Fertility.
The clinic is very comfortable and modern looking. Very clean. The lady who works the front desk is very nice. They have drinks and snacks available in the lobby. Everyone I have encountered at the clinic is super friendly. They do not schedule lots of patients at once, so usually we are the only ones in the waiting room, maybe one other patient.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
The cost of the Parryscope was $900. Three rounds of IUI was $1,100, not each, but for a package of three. My hcg shot was $100 each time. Femara is less than $15 a cycle.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Dr. Parry and his staff was so involved in everything that went on with me during my IVF cycle. They would call and check on me as well as calm me down during the procedures. I even had the staff hold my husband and I hands to pray with us. I hated the result and I’m still trying to get back to normal in my life but I would try IVF again with Positive Steps Fertility.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
During my cycle, I took Lupron 10 units for 14 days, then I added 150 units of Menopur in the morning, lowered my Lupron to 5 units, and took Follistim 300 units all for 14 days until it was time for my trigger shot HCG.The trigger shot came before the retrieval of my eggs. After the retrieval I took different pills and continued my prenatal vitamins. Once it was time for the transfer I took started taking progesterone oil up until I got the results of my blood work 10 days later.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
The cost of a consultation was between $100-$300. Sorry can’t remember the exact cost.

How was your experience with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Dr. Parry is an incredibly smart doctor. He studies and researches ALL the time. Dr. Parry is the second RE that I have seen and I hate that he wasn't the first! I am so thankful to have found him and his clinic. The first meeting that my husband and I had with Dr. Parry was so informative and really gave me a sense of direction and clarity. I know exactly what we are doing in each procedure and he walks you through everything.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Ask lots of questions and he will explain everything! He won't make you feel rushed so make sure you take your time to really understand everything he is telling you and if you don't understand, he will always explain it in a different way. Also, do your research and be active in the process.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Parry. He takes however much time with you that you need for him to explain things. He even explains things in a way that you can actually understand. He makes statements like "if you were my wife" or "if I were in this situation" and that makes me feel like he truly cares.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Parry developed a new technique called Parryscope Fertility Testing. Before Dr. Parry, I saw another RE who put me on Letrozole and did monthly follicular monitoring and one round of IUI. None of that worked and I wasn't really getting any answers as to why and what to do. So, I found Dr. Parry and he did the Parryscope. The Parryscope gives you an actual look inside the uterus and evaluates the fallopian tubes. It is not an ultrasound. It is an actual camera view. Through the Parryscope I found out that I had two uterine polyps and that my left fallopian tube (the only one I have because of an ectopic pregnancy in the right) is blocked. So, after the Parryscope, I had a procedure to remove the polyps and a tubal cannulation to see if the left tube could be opened- which it couldn't. I am now on Dr. Parry's schedule for IVF in July.

He has a set rate for IVF and has already given us a paper with the cost upfront.

Dr. Parry is very soft spoken and friendly. He brings you into his office and pulls up a chair beside you to talk. He makes you feel very comfortable and I have no problem asking him questions. Before leaving he always asks if there are any questions or concerns that we need to talk about. He doesn't let you leave feeling confused. His motto is "WHEN you get pregnant..., not IF you get pregnant."
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
To make him be your first infertility doctor. Don't go to anyone else, start with the best.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
When you come through the door, each person there (including the receptionist, the nurses, the doctor) all know you and your spouse by name. They are all so friendly. One of the nurses says she was supposed to be in charge of setting up an email between the patients and nurses but did not do it because she wants to at least speak on the phone to us. She says she can't hear our voices or emotions through an email and wants to have more of a personal relationship with us.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
I am currently waiting to be placed in the May group for our first round of IVF. I have had the Parryscope done by him to make sure everything on my end is still working and open. He actually developed the Parryscope to replace the painful HSG procedure. Let me tell you, it is a complete difference between the two. The Parryscope does not hurt at all and you get to watch what he is doing on a big tv screen in the room while its happening. It's very informative.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Positive Steps Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Brittany and Vicki are the two nurses we see.)
I'll start by saying they are the kindest nurses. They understand what you're going through and make you feel like family. Brittany even cried with me on our first visit while I was explaining our infertility journey (7 years). They each have their own conference room where they sit down with you and go over everything. They make sure you understand each process that you're about to go through. They are both very organized and don't make you feel rushed or like they need to hurry to the next patient.
Describe your experience with Positive Steps Fertility.
I honestly haven't found a weakness yet. And that's coming from a nurse who expects the best from other nurses. They are all so polite and make sure you have everything you need. Their biggest strength is everyone seems to actually care that you are a patient there and they want the results that you want just as bad as you do.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
Dr. Parry likes to be cost-effective. He actually does a bundle deal with IUI's. He does 3 IUIs for $1200 and that includes meds and ultrasound. He has a set rate for IVF and has already given us a paper with the cost upfront. There's no hidden fees I have to worry about and they let us know when each payment would be due by so we can plan ahead.

I have felt supported and cared for by Dr Parry throughout our fertility struggle. He has been there for us emotional as well as giving us advice for being able to hopefully have our miracle.... I had two previous laparoscopic surgeries due to stage 4 endometriosis. After a thorough review of my medical history, Dr Parry advised IVF as he felt IUI would not be successful due to the severe damage to my tubes. He provided a scope to assess uterus and ovaries and then gave us the all clear to proceed.
Strengths [of Positive Steps]- maintain low patient caseload to allow personalized care, always accessible 24/7 via phone, very educated Dr and staff with high success rates. Weakness- not exactly a weakness but if you are in a hurry you may have to wait a few months for IVF. They got me in right away for consultation but I have to wait several months for an opening to begin IVF process due to Dr Parry only performing a limited number of IVF cycles each month!

How was your experience with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
I have felt supported and cared for by Dr Parry throughout our fertility struggle. He has been there for us emotional as well as giving us advice for being able to hopefully have our miracle. We couldn’t afford IVF on our own and he provided us with contact information during our consult to a bank that thankfully provided us a loan to cover our procedure and medications which came in over $18,000. When I was was out of town and had a question on a Saturday evening he called back within the hour. We have had a wonderful experience with Dr Parry.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
I would advise anyone seeing Dr Parry to just be honest with him! He will spend all the time you need answering questions , and after battling infertility there is no greater feeling than hope after your initial consultation.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
After trying to conceive for two years, surgery, all of the possible medications, and two heartbreaking miscarriages, my husband and I were both at the point of feeling hopeless. After meeting with Dr Parry and his team we both felt hope for the first time in years. He spent an hour answering any and all questions and providing us with honesty and compassion. He even issued his personal cell phone for us to contact him at any time during our cycle with him. He also informed us that he limits his IVF clients each month to around 10 that way he could provide the best personalized care. We left feeling hopeful and cared for. I cannot praise Dr Parry and his team enough!
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
I had two previous laparoscopic surgeries due to stage 4 endometriosis. After a thorough review of my medical history, Dr Parry advised IVF as he felt IUI would not be successful due to the severe damage to my tubes. He provided a scope to assess uterus and ovaries and then gave us the all clear to proceed. We did a month of birth control pills to prepare my body for IVF follows by two weeks of Lupron injections. We then went for a basline ultrasound and bloodwork as well as a “trial transfer” to ensure he would be able to properly access the uterus for embryo transfer. That was successful which resulted in a recommendation to do a morning dose of Menopur and an evening dose of Follistim and Lupron for our stimulation protocol. During the two weeks of stim meds we went to the clinic every other day for ultrasound. Going to the clinic that frequently provided reassurance that everything was going as needed and allowed Dr Parry to closely monitor the IVF cycle. I also took oral medications to prevent OHSS and infection. Dr Parry was very proactive!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Dr Parry has two primary nurses that equally provide care. Both of them provided their personal cell phones to be contacted at any time. One Sunday I had an issue with a medication and the nurse answered right away! On days we did not have ultrasounds during our stim medications they would call and check in as well as calling to check in after egg retrieval surgery and transfer. They answered any and all questions just like Dr Parry and were very knowledgeable about the IVF process.
Describe your experience with Positive Steps Fertility.
Strengths- maintain low patient caseload to allow personalized care, always accessible 24/7 via phone, very educated Dr and staff with high success rates.
Weakness- not exactly a weakness but if you are in a hurry you may have to wait a few months for IVF. They got me in right away for consultation but I have to wait several months for an opening to begin IVF process due to Dr Parry only performing a limited number of IVF cycles each month! (Which is wonderful once it’s your turn!)
Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
The initial consultation was $150. He performed the scope which was an additional $900. We received two ultrasounds at $125 each. IVF and medications cost us a little over $17,000 initially but we have had to order some refills which have been an additional cost. All of this has been out of pocket (which we had to take a loan out for) as insurance in Mississippi does not cover infertility.
Describe Preston Parry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Positive Steps Fertility.
Dr Parry believed that the absence of functional tubes and stage 4 endometriosis was the reason we were having miscarriages and unable to successfully concieve. Due to the presence of healthy eggs and my husband having healthy sperm he felt that one embryo would be a great starting point for us. He stated that it was of course up to us, but that he was providing his best evidence based recommendation based on our specific case.

Dr. Parry is a very calm, well-spoken doctor. He always asks if you have any questions or concerns. His bedside manner is superb. At every appointment, he made sure I understand what the treatment plan was going forward and what expectations were.... He immediately started us on IUIs, and we did a total of 6 with him. We used Letrozole to grow multiple follicles during the IUIs and trigger shots to time ovulation after ultrasound monitoring. After the 6th failed IUI, we moved on to IVF.
This clinic's strengths are definitely their compassion and knowledge. Their weaknesses are that scheduling can sometimes be inconvenient, especially if you are having to travel to the clinic. They [Positive Steps] try to work with you as best they can.... Vicki and Brittney are Dr. Parry's two nurses. They were both fantastic. They were very knowledgeable and answered any questions or concerns I had. They never made me feel stupid for being nervous or having questions.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Dr. Parry and his nurses were amazing. They were always a phone call or text away if I had any questions or concerns. They never brushed me off and really made me feel like they cared about me.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
We began seeing Dr. Parry after unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for a year. He immediately started us on IUIs, and we did a total of 6 with him. We used Letrozole to grow multiple follicles during the IUIs and trigger shots to time ovulation after ultrasound monitoring. After the 6th failed IUI, we moved on to IVF. I did birth control and Lupron for about 3-4 weeks. Then I was on 5 units Lupron, 75IU Menopur, and 225IU Follistim daily until we did our trigger shot after 4 monitoring appointments.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
We paid $2,100 for 6 IUIs with Dr. Parry. This included one ultrasound per IUI. Our medications for 6 IUIs totalled around $600. Our IVF package cost $14,000 and included one egg retrieval and 4 transfers plus monitoring ultrasounds and labwork. It also included their fee to biopsy our Day 5 embryos. We also paid approximately $1,500 to the testing company for PGS testing and approximately $2,500 for all of our medications.
Describe Preston Parry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Positive Steps Fertility.
If you are less than 35 years old, Dr. Parry prefers to only transfer a single embryo at a time. If you are older than 35, he is willing to transfer more than one.

He is very Friendly and Always has a smile on his face! I truly believe he loves what he does and that is helping create families!
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
You will not Regret going to Positive Steps Fertility! John Parry is the best in my opinion!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
From the moment I walked into the doors of Positive Steps Fertility I felt like I was a Friend not a patient who is struggling with InFertility. Every employee I encountered was so heart warmingly friendly. They talked to my husband I as though We had known them for years. With the constant reassurance that they were on our side we felt more at home than we could have ever imagined and we felt more relaxed when it came to talking with Dr. Parry. Every time we have been in the office we have never felt more than welcome Dr. Parry just constantly make sure we have never left with questions and has made us always feel like family just like his Staff!
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
We started with my OB sending my Husband to Dr. Parry to have his Semen analysis done. Within an hour maybe two Dr. Parry himself called my husband with the results! (Which I was very pleased with) We then scheduled our consultation to talk about how his results did not turn out quite like we had hoped! During that consultation Dr. Parry laid out a plan of action. We scheduled me to have a Parryscope done (Dr. Parry invented this) the scope is done in office and you get to watch as he travels to your uterus and checks to
Make sure it looks great and the releases saline which goes through tube to discover blockage!
During my scope we realized my tubes were not letting anything I do Dr. Parry assured me it could have just been a bad day for my uterus!
So at this point we chose to go forth with the plan of IUI we chose to do one round of IUI Dr. Parry had me Day letrazal 5.5 for 5 days I went back in and I had 1 Beautiful Folical so we did insemination the next day and since that did not work then I had to schedule laparoscopic procedure with my OB to further investigate possible tubal blockage. Well my left tube was block once my OB was inside and he was Thankfully able to unblock. I am currently recovering from this procedure and can not wait to go back and proceed with my 2nd round of IUI

I love how thorough he [Dr. Parry] is. We go over every possibility before it happens so I know what to expect. He told me at my last appt what he would do if I was his wife and that made me feel much better about having to have my tubes removed. I felt that he was as sorry about having to tell me about having to have the procedure as I was sad I was being told....He’s also a numbers guy and presents me with percentages and I like that!!
The lady at the desk [Positive Steps] is great! Always very friendly!! Very prompt on calling back and I always get in in a timely manner!! I only wish they offered a payment plan because fertility treatments are so expensive it I’m sure none really do. That’s the only really negative thing I can think of....I did a scope test that was 850. I’ve had 2 ultrasounds at 215 a piece. I’ve had 2 consultations for 250 a piece

We first started with letrozole. Did it for 3 months. He then was ready to move onto IUI. It was the holidays though so my husband and I decided to wait until after. When we got ready for IUI, we did another ultrasound and found out I had cysts on one ovary and both tubes. Had all 3 removed and now we are looking into IVF.

Dr. Parry is very detailed in his explanations for absolutely everything. He does so in such an honest and factual manner while maintaining a good bedside manner. Any questions you have, he either knows the answers or find the answer for you. He is very research oriented, so I never feel as though he will lead me astray.... After 20 pain-free minutes, the Parryscope was complete - with me seeing the entire procedure - and I had the answers I needed (there actually was a blockage).
This clinic [Positive Steps Fertility] is very rare. Employees are quick to respond to you - same day, every time. With the amount of trips you make to a fertility clinic in one month, you could normally come up with a ton of negatives, but in my 3 years of treatment, this place is the exception.... Dr. Parry and his staff spend as much time with you as you need and I have never felt rushed with any of them.

Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
First, Dr. Parry performed his Parryscope procedure to check tubal patency and any other abnormalities that may be present. (I had recently undergone a painful surgery with a different physician to learn the same information. I recovered from the previous surgery but was left with no explanation for infertility and was also informed my tubes were open.) After 20 pain-free minutes, the Parryscope was complete - with me seeing the entire procedure - and I had the answers I needed (there actually was a blockage).
Dr. Parry has been progressive with my treatment, but not too much. If something is not necessary, it does not happen.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Positive Steps Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Vicki and Brittany)
The nursing staff here, especially Brittany and Vicki, are nothing short of amazing. They work so many hours but treat you as if they have all the time in the day to spend with you. They will call you back at any hour to ensure you hear from them. At such a hard and sensitive time in someone's life, they make the biggest difference!

$900 for the Parryscope and (I believe) about $1300 for 3 rounds of IUI with 3 ultrasounds. Each additional ultrasound was $175.

I can't imagine not having Dr. Parry as my doctor. I've had doctors in the past treat me like I was less than capable of understanding, brush me and concerns off, or even refuse to answer questions I've had. Dr. Parry does not do that. If you do struggle to understand something, he has no problem breaking it down for you... The very first thing we did was test my tubes for blockages. Dr. Parry has his own, patent pending, method (Parryscope) for this that does not use dyes.
Every test, with the exception of a few blood tests, are done in-house. All of my exams, my tests, have been done right there in the clinic [Positive Steps Fertility]. Everything that the doctor sees via ultrasound or sonogram, the patient sees as well via flat screen t.v.s in every room. Privacy is a huge concern, and their rooms are all designed with that in mind, so there are no accidental walk ins during your procedure. Mrs. Tracy occupies the front desk and will likely be the one to check you in, and she is still a welcoming sight to this day.

How was your experience with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
I can't imagine not having Dr. Parry as my doctor. I've had doctors in the past treat me like I was less than capable of understanding, brush me and concerns off, or even refuse to answer questions I've had. Dr. Parry does not do that. If you do struggle to understand something, he has no problem breaking it down for you, and it is never done in a demeaning or demoralizing way. He understands that it's a lot to take in at times, and doesn't mind slowing things down or breaking the information up into chunks, or however the patient is better able to understand. If you're concerned about something, he will listen to your concern, hear why you're concerned, and then be open to discussing it. I've obsessed over OPKs, basal body temperature, altering diets, and so on. He has heard every concern, and thoroughly discussed it with me. And not only that, he's up to date on his literature and research. If he tells you something probably isn't that big of factor or to not worry because this doesn't affect that as much as we think it does, or to do that instead of this, he has the current, peer-reviewed research to back it up. As far as asking questions, I have literally walked in with a list, on more than one occasion, and when I left, every one of those questions was answered. He utilizes his network of colleagues and peers, as well. If he *doesn't* have an answer for something, he will find it by accessing that network, because it's not a competition to him. It's not a business of making money or a name for himself. It's a business of building families.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Don't be afraid to ask questions, but more importantly than that, don't be afraid to let him fly the plane. That's the analogy he gave me during my consultation. Yes, passengers on a flight have certain responsibilities and things they can do to make the flight better, but it ultimately depends on the pilot. Relax, and let him fly. You are in amazing hands. And stay off of the forums when you do have a question. Even if you aren't an established patient of his, you can call with any question, any question whatsoever, and he will answer it for you. Online forums can cause more distress. Asking Dr. Parry puts you right at ease.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
What makes a human a human? Without going too deeply into the question, a name. I met Dr. Parry and his staff at the opening ceremony of their new clinic. A month later, when I went in for a full consultation, they still remembered my name. Even on the phone, I can hear it in their voices, that I'm just another number dialed. They will call you by your name. They will remember details about you, like what name you have picked out or if you've changed your hair even the slightest, something my husband struggles to do, haha. The nurses are going to hug you or put an arm around you (if you're comfortable with that) and genuinely ask how you've been every time they see you. And when you get upsetting news or are disappointed, they're not going to rush you out the door. They're going to hold your hand, and answer your questions. They're going to stay on the phone with you while you cry. You don't do that for numbers. You do that for people.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
The very first thing we did was test my tubes for blockages. Dr. Parry has his own, patent pending, method (Parryscope) for this that does not use dyes. If you tend to have allergies to things like me, this method is a god send. First, he examines your pelvis, cervix, uterus, and ovaries via trans-vaginal ultrasound. After that, a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. It was not nearly as uncomfortable as I had anticipated. I was able to stay relaxed throughout the entire procedure. After the camera is inserted, saline (rather than dye) is used to expand the uterus. The next step is to release air bubbles to see if they travel through the Fallopian tubes, indicating whether or not there is a blockage. The entire procedure takes maybe 15-20 minutes, and results are immediate; no waiting. The procedure is done in-house, and virtually pain free. I say that as someone with severe Endometriosis who usually has pain reactions to a typical pap smear.
After we determined that my tubes were clear, he set up a medication schedule. Since my right ovary was not working on its own, he gave me directions for taking Femara 2.5, which were 4 tablets on days 2 through 7 of my cycle. Then I was to come in for an ultrasound on day 9 or 10 to check my follicles. My very first checkup after starting the medication, I had two big, healthy follicles ready to go, even on my right ovary. While I did not conceive during that cycle, we were excited to know that we are on the right track.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Positive Steps Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Vickie Butler)
Mrs. Vicki is not just a nurse. She is your mother, your sister, your coach, your pastor, and that list can go on and on. But most of all, she is your friend. She genuinely cares about your well-being, and goes beyond meeting the standard for patient care. Mrs. Vicki returns all calls, even returning one of mine when she was on the other side of the country! She breaks things down for you, will let you cry as much as you need to, and most importantly, in my opinion, will not tell you what you want to hear just to avoid bad news. It's not easy looking into the face of a hopeful couple and giving less than awesome news, but she manages to do it in such a way that, even though you're disappointed, you understand and are thankful for having her to be the one to tell you. She's up front about options and chances, and if you're like me, you enjoy having hope, but not false hope. As your friend, Mrs. Vicki isn't going to give you false hope. She wants you to have faith, sure, but she also wants you to know exactly what you're up against. I cannot imagine fighting this uphill battle with stage IV Endometriosis with diminished ovarian reserve at 33 without her. Because I know she's going to be honest with me, while also still rooting for me and supporting my decisions.

Mrs. Tracy occupies the front desk and will likely be the one to check you in, and she is still a welcoming sight to this day. She greets you with a smile, and will most likely already have you pulled up on her computer before you get done telling her how you've been. She will also remind you that you are free to grab yourself a bottled water or have a cup of coffee while you wait, though your wait will likely never be longer than 5-10 minutes.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility.
A full consult for a new patient was (at the time I started using this clinic) $150. A consult typically lasts about an hour or more. The Parryscope test was/is $850. My fertility medication (Femara) at my local, independent pharmacy is roughly $12, and there's enough left over for the next month. Ultrasounds are $175. For 3 rounds of IUI (insemination) and 3 ultrasounds was/is $1,000. In vitro, including monitoring anesthesia, retrieval, and up to 4 transfers was/is $9,9950. They also work closely with credit unions/banks for those that may need to take out a loan to pay for treatment.

Dr. Parry has always treated me and my husband as if we are his only patients. He always takes his time with us, has gotten to know us and takes an interest in our personal lives. He explains everything to great detail and it’s obvious he really cares for his patients as well as has a passion for reproductive medicine.... He was very optimistic about our chances with IUI. We did IUI with Femara and Pregnyl six times, increasing dosages here and there, but to no avail.
This clinics strengths are definitely it’s staff! They are amazing! The only weakness I can think of is that they [Positive Steps Fertility] are in transition right now as they build a new clinic. Their temporary office isn’t built for their needs.... Mrs. Vicki makes me feel like a part of her family every time I see her. She is so warm and kind. She is also incredibly intelligent and has had so much experience with reproductive medicine. Britney is so sweet and really organized! I wish I could pay her to organize my life! She is very passionate about the goals of the clinic.

How was your experience with Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Dr. Parry is an amazing doctor! I’ve been a nurse for several years and I know how some in the healthcare field can talk to patients. He had always shown us empathy and compassion. He also is an avid economist and takes our pocket book into consideration. He’s not trying to make us “break the bank” on fertility treatments. He has a fantastic practice and I would (and have) recommend him to anyone.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Preston Parry at Positive Steps Fertility?
Be aware that no matter how optimistic you feel, there is only so much he can do. The rest is up to God.

He explains everything to great detail and it’s obvious he really cares for his patients as well as has a passion for reproductive medicine.
Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Parry started seeing us after we had been trying to conceive for a little over a year. He was very optimistic about our chances with IUI. We did IUI with Femara and Pregnyl six times, increasing dosages here and there, but to no avail. We are planning on doing IVF after we save up the money.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Positive Steps Fertility. (Assigned nurse: Britney and Vicki)
Mrs. Vicki makes me feel like a part of her family every time I see her. She is so warm and kind. She is also incredibly intelligent and has had so much experience with reproductive medicine. Britney is so sweet and really organized! I wish I could pay her to organize my life! She is very passionate about the goals of the clinic.
Describe your experience with Positive Steps Fertility.
This clinics strengths are definitely it’s staff! They are amazing! The only weakness I can think of is that they are in transition right now as they build a new clinic. Their temporary office isn’t built for their needs.

Describe Preston Parry's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Positive Steps Fertility.

Dr. Parry is very knowledgeable about his practice. When he performed the hysteroscopy, he displayed the procedure on a TV screen in the room so that we could watch. He explained every step of the process and told me what we were seeing as he went on with the procedure. He answered any questions or concerns that we had.... Instead of the dye, he used saline solution and air bubbles to assess the quality of my Fallopian tubes. The air bubbles will secrecy any tubal blockages. I experienced no pain at all during this procedure and only a small amount of cramping.
All the employees I have been in contact with have always been quick to answer emails or return phone calls before their day is finished. It is rare that a doctor’s office returns calls or emails the same day, but this clinic does it. They have been such a joy for me to under their care.... Vickie is the nurse that has seen me throughout my time at Positive Steps Fertilify. She is always available to answer any questions I have. She always has a smile on her face and is so warm and welcoming.

Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
Dr. Parry did an ultrasound to check my o Arian reserve. He explained what was being shown on the screen. He uses hysteroscopy as the procedure in place of the HSG. His method is called the Parryscope. Instead of the dye, he used saline solution and air bubbles to assess the quality of my Fallopian tubes. The air bubbles will secrecy any tubal blockages. I experienced no pain at all during this procedure and only a small amount of cramping.
Because I was shown the entire procedure, I was able to have a better understanding of my reproductive system.

Dr Parry is a hand down amazing doctor that truly takes the time to figure out what is going on with you and trying to find the perfect treatment. It's been hard for my husband and I but he has been there and listened to what I've told him about my body and has made adjustments he thinks will help...He increased my dosage by 2.5 mg of Femera for my last 3 cycles. I was monitored every cycle and had good speed nunbers it just never worked.
I honestly have nothing bad to say [about Positive Steps Fertility]. From the day I walked in until my last iui everything was perfect and went smoothly. I felt great walking out with a second opinion and having a new treatment plan to try. The staff was so warm and welcoming and made you feel right at home. Even though I didn't get the outcome I dreamed of... I'm hoping to do IVF soon with this amazing group of healthcare professionals

But I did not want to go through hysterosalpingogram/HSG--as I have heard its uncomfortable/painful procedure...we decided to give IUI a try though likelihood of pregnancy would be very low due to tubal blockage --but as I did not do HSG we were hopeful that may be I just had spasm at time of sonohysterograph. we tried 2 IUIs with no pregnancy--and decided not to go further. now we are starting IVF

Dr. Parry took time to explain in detail every situation possible as to why I’m categorized as “unexplained”. He also didn’t force any treatments on us and is letting us be in charge of how aggressive we want our treatments to be.... Femara- (days 5-9) to aid in egg maturation. (2-4 eggs per cycle) Pregnyl- to induce ovulation IUI- 24-36 hours after pregnyl. (No pregnancies)
All the nurses and staff at PSF are AMAZING! They are so compassionate, welcoming, and loving. They greet everyone with a smile and a hug. This makes a HUGE difference when you’re the patient.... Parryscope, 3 IUI package, 1 follicular ultrasound $2300... The clinic is beautiful and so peaceful. Everyone works well with one another. They do seem very busy so sometimes it takes a little while to hear back from them, but it’s usually the same day. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for labs that you want drawn. They are there for whatever you want, but you are ultimately your own advocate.

All the nurses and staff at PSF are AMAZING! They are so compassionate, welcoming, and loving. They greet everyone with a smile and a hug. This makes a HUGE difference when you’re the patient.
Describe your experience with Positive Steps Fertility.
The clinic is beautiful and so peaceful. Everyone works well with one another. They do seem very busy so sometimes it takes a little while to hear back from them, but it’s usually the same day. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for labs that you want drawn. They are there for whatever you want, but you are ultimately your own advocate.

Dr. Party made us feel so comfortable. He made sure that we understood everything that he talked about and made sure to give us time to ask questions. ... He explained the Parryscope and that will be out next step. He is interested in finding the exact source of the problem. ... He made sure to let us know that he and his staff [Positive Steps Fertility] were there for us and that we could come to then with anything. I can not say enough good things about him and his staff.
Everyone that I came in contact with at this clinic made feel like I mattered. They talked to me like I was family or a friend and not in a ‘stuffy’ manner. I absolutely fell in love with everyone at this practice. ... Beautiful building and very accommodating. Easy to find and maneuver around the clinic. Felt like a swanky hotel and not like your normal clinic setting. I can not say enough good things about this facility.

Dr. Parry is very kind and extremely knowledgeable. He is so knowledgeable that sometimes things go completely over our heads- that's what his nurse is for. She jumps right in to Assure that we completely understand the information he has just given us....He's very gentle with the both of us (husband included). He always greets us with a smile, is factual, and asks if we have questions just as the appointment is over.
There's a great amount of privacy [at Positive Steps]. Plenty rooms, large areas, innever really see the other patients. Visits are rather short. I wish I had more time to spend with Dr Parry. However he does give us his cell so that's pretty awesome.... Brittany has an amazing personality and is extremely knowledgeable. I always look For her face whenever we have an appointment.

Dr. Parry has a wonderful manner. He is very easy to talk to, answers any questions you may have, and always smiles. He makes you feel very comfortable in what could be a very uncomfortable situation. Dr. Parry is relentlessly positive, a thing I much appreciated as I felt increasingly pessimistic after IUI failures. He really makes you believe you are able to get pregnant when you have lost that belief yourself.
Positive Steps Fertility will never make you feel afraid or uncertain. The staff is positive and friendly. The office itself feels comfortable and safe. Dr Parry is warm, always smiling, and always willing to answer any questions you may have. The relentless positivity they exude can be extremely reassuring when you are feeling down.

Dr. Parry loves his patients and wants to help bring their dreams to a reality. He will explain things to you so you can understand it and guides me as he would his own wife...he is very warm and understanding...he did a scope of my uterus and shot air bubbles to go through my uterus and they would not go through. He also found live infection in my uterus. He gave me antibiotics to treat it. We used my wife’s eggs because she had a much higher egg count than I did. We started the shots during the summer. They retrieved her eggs in July. We did our first transfer following that with me carrying. We had a negative.
The clinic [Positive Steps Fertility] is amazing. No weaknesses. Everyone there is so kind and loving. Everyone there has the same mission and that is to help everyone have a family.

Describe the protocols Preston Parry used in your cycles at Positive Steps Fertility and their degree of success.
In December 2016, I had surgery to have endometriosis removed. My OBGYN did the surgery and tested my tubes by shooting dye through them and they were both blocked. She believed it was due to a muscle spasm, but still referred me to Dr. Parry. We went in April 2018, he did a scope of my uterus and shot air bubbles to go through my uterus and they would not go through. He also found live infection in my uterus. He gave me antibiotics to treat it. We used my wife’s eggs because she had a much higher egg count than I did. We started the shots during the summer. They retrieved her eggs in July. We did our first transfer following that with me carrying. We had a negative. I had a period and we started over. We did another transfer and got another fail. At that we had our remaining eggs PGS tested and I had another scope done in my uterus. He found more polyps and inflammation. In November 18 I had a surgery to clean out my uterus. I had a transfer on January 21st and now in the two week wait.

Dr Parry is wonderful. While I’ve only had my consultation with him I feel confident that he will be the answer to our unexplained infertility. He explained everything to me and was very compassionate. The last doctor I saw wanted to jump straight to extensive and expensive treatments before doing tests that could potentially be my problem, like a blocked tube(s). However, this was one of the first things Dr. Parry said would part of my treatment and that made me feel much better...answered all of my questions without rushing me or making me feel like my questions were dumb.
The nurse I saw [at Positive Steps Fertility] was so sweet and just overall amazing! Talked to me like we’d known each other forever but was still professional. Made me feel so much more relaxed...The clinic is amazing. Since I’ve only had my consultation so far I’ve only seen the waiting room, a consultation room, and what I assume was Dr. Parry’s office. I did not see any of the treatment rooms. But the clinic was updated beautifully and was very inviting...Dr Parry is wonderful.
