With that info he decided, to just go with injectables only and no femara (I started femara with my OBGYN and continued it with Dr. Propst) to hopefully maximize my chances
There's several locations [Texas Fertility Center] which is great since Austin traffic is horrible. Also, they use CPL for labs which is also convenient as they have a lot of locations. There's no online patient portal or way to email them which can be frustrating. Hopefully they will transition to that one day. Also, my insurance doesn't cover anything related to infertility so it's been a costly process. The injectable medications have been expensive, but I also haven't done any rx shopping due to time constraints with knowing what med to take and when.

How was your experience with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
He is a warm doctor with good bedside manner, but he is very busy! As soon as he's done seeing you, he's right out the door to the next patient. Luckily he sees patients ar 2 different locations. He definitely listens and takes into consideration what you have to say. When trying to decide on how to proceed with my next treatment (I've done 2 IUIs-only 1 with injectables), I told him that this would probably be my last IUI attempt. With that info he decided, to just go with injectables only and no femara (I started femara with my OBGYN and continued it with Dr. Propst) to hopefully maximize my chances
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
Just go with your questions! He will answer them all. I didn't know what to ask in the beginning and I regret not doing more research before our consultation
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
He always came in with a smile and greeted me asking how I was doing instead of just jumping right to business
Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
I "probably" have PCOS per both my OBGYN and Dr. Propst. I have irregular cycles but no cycsts on the ultrasound. I have been using femara (started with just taking this pill with my OB) for about 5 months and then went to see an RE.
Our first IUI was right after our consultation since it was near the right timing of my cycle. All I used was an hcg trigger shot which resulted in a negative pregnancy test.
The next round was femara, gonal f injections and an hcg trigger shot with inseminations on back to back days since he was unsure of my ovulation. This also resulted in a negative pregnancy test.
I am about to start my 3rd round in which we are NOT using femara but just a gonal f injection and hcg trigger shot. So we'll see what happens!
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nurses are very sweet, but coming out of your appointment, they sometimes assume you understand everything. Ask about meds, timing, next appt, etc if you have questions! They're happy to help. Also, it's hard to get a hold of them. You always have to call and leave a message. They get back to you fairly quickly, but I've never once called and got to talk directly to a nurse on that phone call

Describe the costs associated with your care under Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center.
The initial consultation is around $600 and each ultrasound is $220. You do an ultrasound at the start of your cycle and several times throughout to see how your ovaries are progressing. My medications have ranged from $400-800 and they do use a pharmacy that overnights them to you (not sure if this is built into the cost since again I didn't do any price shopping).

Dr. Prospt [Propst] is very educated and you can tell he has a lot of experience. He was able to diagnose my rate genetic birth anomaly in our first visit. I do think he lacks more of the bedside manner that I like to see in doctors. He was quick to give one option only and he seems uncomfortable if the patient cries. When I cried, he handed me a tissue and left the room, whereas the nurse tried to console me and offer help.
There is some confusion amongst staff [Texas Fertility Ctr] in regards to what they will charge. For a new patient appointment, some will say to coordinate it with your baseline ultrasound so that you don’t pay double the fee (consult and ultrasound), but you may be asked to pay that when you arrive because not everyone is on the same page. Also, as you could expect, plan ahead because appointments fill up quickly.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
Please be aware that is style is more blunt than compassionate. I think he means well, but he comes off cold.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
I enjoyed my initial consultation and felt that he truly cared about helping us have a baby. I was diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus during that consultation. When I went in for my follicle scan, the IUI was canceled and I was out hundreds of dollars because the follicle was on the wrong side. I began crying and Dr. Propst handed me a tissue and was quick to leave the room, concluding my apppintment.
Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
We were told to take clomid and do IUI. I was not given any other option. I asked if we could try a cycle of clomid and a trigger shot first and he said it wouldn’t make sense because I already ovulate.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Texas Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Rebecca )
I haven’t met my actual nurse but we have emailed back and forth and she is very prompt. The nursing staff in the facility are all very compassionate and patient.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center.
The consultation was $220 and every ultrasound is $220. We were given the price sheet for IUI even though our cycle was canceled and the sperm wash was around $220 and the IUI itself was around $220.
What specific things went wrong at Texas Fertility Center?
- Provided conflicting information
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Texas Fertility Center.
I described this a few pages back, but I postponed my appointment for a few months to coordinate it with my cycle. A consult is $220 and an ultrasound is $220 so I was told if I coordinated it just right, I would only have to pay $220 and not $440 for the first visit. I finally was able to coordinate it and was asked to pay $440 still. I did explain that I had been talking to someone there and the reason I delayed it for a few months so they wrote the $220 off.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
I have been through 3 different nurses the first nurse treated me like a number, no compassion. My second nurse was awesome I really loved her but she resigned. The third nurse is ok I can never get a hold of her I'm always having to email or leave messages which most time she will call me back later that day or the next day. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't listen to me when I tell her what symptoms I'm having. It seems like the clinic is a rotating door when it comes to the staff.

- Failed to call with results
Describe the specific things that went wrong at Texas Fertility Center.
During the weekends there are different staff and I have had complications happen on the weekend where no one could find file to be able to help me properly so my doctor was called to help figure things out. Also during that desperate time I was waiting for results for over 6 hours when I was told I would get results in2 to 3 hours and when I called the after hours nurse she had no idea what was going on. The previous nurse forget got to leave my information for her to go over and call me.

IVF nurse/coordinator handles every aspect of your cycle.... At Texas Fertility Center, once the doctor leaves the room you are mostly communicating with the nurse....

How was your experience with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
Dr. Propst is extremely intelligent and knows the evidence behind the treatment. Based on the way that our cycle was going, he changed the plan from frozen to fresh embryo transfer hopefully for a better outcome. He explained the reasoning behind all of his decisions and engaged us in the decision making process. I also appreciated that he would provide recommendations. Many doctors will provide with you with the options, but not give a recommendation.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
Ask him for recommendations.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
During our initial consultation, we had a lot of questions due to 3 failed cycles with another clinic. He was able to answer all of our questions and propose a plan for our future cycle. Also recommended additional supplement (DHEA) and increasing CoQ10 dosage. I was surprised that there was much else to do in our case, but we decided to stay with him because he had a good plan that was different than what we were previously doing.
Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
Antagonist protocol with cetrotide. Started with 2 days of clomid to jump start the ovaries and then high doses of Gonal F and menopur as well as omnitrope.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
IVF nurse/coordinator handles every aspect of your cycle. It depends on whether you like this or not. At my previous clinic, after the ultrasound my doctor would go to her computer and put in the plan on the spreadsheet and print it out and hand it to me. At Texas Fertility Center, once the doctor leaves the room you are mostly communicating with the nurse.
Describe your experience with Texas Fertility Center.
Because there are so many doctors, you will most likely not see your doctor on the weekend since they rotate call schedules. Also, there is no in house lab. On the weekend you will have to go to St. David's Main before 8AM to have labs drawn and then on other days you can go to any CPL before 8AM. Also, most of the communication is between you and your IVF nurse. At my previous clinic, I spoke to the doctor directly about everything. It just depends on how important that is to you.
Strengths - nurses are very knowledgeable and can answer a lot of the questions. Well oiled machine with people doing specific jobs. The process was very streamlined.
***our longest wait time was less than 5 minutes*** I cannot even explain how much of my life I have regained from this!!!
Weaknesses - because there are many people involved in the process, each person doing a specific job, things can get dropped along the way. I was told that someone would call me about ordering my meds before the start of the cycle, but I did not and decided to call on my own and they seemed to be surprised by my phone call (even though it was 2-3 days before I would need to start meds).
Describe the costs associated with your care under Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center.
Excluding medications, the cost is about 8k without insurance because they give you a 50% discount on the ultrasounds and egg retrieval (for TFC's part). There is still a fee for the egg retrieval that is charged by the surgery center. The 8k includes the fees paid to their lab (around 4k).
Relatively affordable for someone who has used up insurance benefits.

Dr. Propst is very kind, gentle, and has made an effort to keep us from spending as little as possible. He obviously cares about people. His approach is more slow and steady and he seems to start with the minimum and build from there rather than bombard you with tons of tests and hardcore medication.... I completely trust his expertise however sometimes I wish he would tell me what he's thinking. He's not a big talker, but he provides the necessary information without conveying false hope or over confidence.
It's [Texas Fertility Center] not a big fancy brand new office which I prefer. It's smaller and more laid back and doesn't look like a money grab. They try very hard to help to get your insurance to cover anything they can.i have never felt any pressure to spend money there. They are very straight forward about cost and there have not been any surprise or hidden costs. You are assigned your own nurse you can call anytime, and there is another very nice nurse on call on weekends and evenings.

How was your experience with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
Dr. Propst is pretty straight forward and sometimes a bit serious. I completely trust his expertise however sometimes I wish he would tell me what he's thinking. He's not a big talker, but he provides the necessary information without conveying false hope or over confidence. He is realistic and somewhat optimistic. He has a very good bedside manner and makes me feel at ease. He is patient and does not start with the most drastic testing and protocol. He is very very evidence based and black and white, very intelligent and not airy fairy at all.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
He may seem serious but he's very caring. He's not going to talk your ear off so if you have concerns or questions you have to ask.

Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
I brought Dr. Propst an ultrasound during my first appointment which showed a possible fibroid. Since all my labs and my husband's S.A. came back normal he recommended laparoscopic surgery for me. He suspected endometriosis, wanted to clean out any growths, and would so the dye test on my tubes without having to put me through an HSG. The surgery was smooth, I had no issues with recovery, and had no complications. Unfortunately I still did not get pregnant after surgery. My next step was IUI with clomid. My first cycle was unsuccessful so I'm probably going to complete 1 or 2 more IUI cycles before moving to IVF.

Dr. Propst was matter of fact about treatment and options but he still would talk to me about how other things in my life like school and work were going.

Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
5 cycles of letrozole plus injectibles, one cycle of full injectibles, one ivf cycle. After ovulating early, he added another medication to prevent that. Ovidril trigger was used in all seven cycles. First cycle was negative, second was a miscarriage and Dr. Propst performed my D&C. Third cycle was negative. Fourth cycle I ovulated early. Fifth cycle after an adjustment was negative. Sixth cycle was a chemical pregnancy. Seventh cycle was ivf that yielded no usable embryos. Eighth cycle was my son.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Texas Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Kimberley)
I did not have a great experience with the nursing staff. At one point I was sure that the nurses treated me differently because I am Latina and I didn’t have a lot of money. This was maninly someone trying to arrange my medication during an ivf cycle. I don’t remember her name. My ivf nurse was different from my first nurse Kimberley and when I went back to iui, Kimberley had left and I got someone different and she was fine. There was a time that I really wanted to leave the clinic because the person handling my medication order made a huge mistake and almost cost me thousands of dollars. The technicians that I saw during my regular visits were always friendly and courteous but they didn’t seem to remember me from one visit too the next, maybe because the clinic was too big.

- Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Texas Fertility Center.
Someone gave the pharmacy the wrong phone number for me and I almost didn’t get my medication when I was supposed to. If I hadn’t googled the pharmacy myself and called them to find out what was going on, I might not have gotten my medication. The staff member at the clinic who made the mistake didn’t think it was a big deal but and never admitted her mistake but it could have been devastating.

He’s [Dr. Propst] very compassionate with a professional and comfortable bedside manner. He’s extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in finding the right plan that he thinks will best work for you. He will work with you in regards to what you want, timelines, and even a little based on cost. I truly felt he wanted to help his patients and not just doing it for the paycheck...He was very personable and relatable and I felt he truly cared. Several times he actually called me directly rather than having a nurse do it.
I think they [Texas Fertility Center] are very knowledgeable and have very quality and qualified doctors that are all great and help out each other when needed. They research and offer classes to help patients regularly. They’re located throughout the city (and state) and easy to get quick appts. The only weakness, although not specific to them I imagine is the cost. Without having insurance coverage, it is super expensive!...Be patient and trust they know what they are doing.

I would say this to any patient, not just his. But just because you hear of success doesn’t mean you will get it immediately. Be patient and trust they know what they are doing. Also just because a+b+c worked for you friend, doesn’t mean it will for you. Each diagnosis and treatment is different and therefore may have a different treatment.

Describe the protocols Anthony Propst used in your cycles at Texas Fertility Center and their degree of success.
I used various things depending on which cycle. I know in the beginning I was doing injections with follistim and timed intercourse. Then moved onto an egg retrieval cycle with follistim and menopur. Also using ganirelix and ovidrel for the trigger. For most of the cycles I used crinone progesterone. The last (successful) one I used progesterone in oil.

Dr. Propst for us was not the one that walks in and your super comfortable with. I think because both he and I are pretty awkward.

We are eager to resume treatments with him for Baby number two and wouldn’t want to use anyone else.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Anthony Propst at Texas Fertility Center?
He just took awhile to warm up too. Once he did though he has been great. He was especially wonderful at our baby app when he got to meet our daughter.

He [Dr. Anthony Propst] was willing to answer all questions and asked how we wanted to go about cycle one.Treated us like any other couple and never made us feel less than. Stayed positive throughout and when he realized clomid did not work, he was quick to prescribe something stronger. His staff is amazing and always answer any questions I have no matter time or date.
Nursing staff [at Texas Fertility Center-Round Rock] was amazing and we loved ur nurse Shannon. Always emailed or called me back with any questions or concerns I had.... I started with clomid 50mg and that was because I asked to go the medicated way. Went in for ultrasound and saw it was not working and he switched me to femara 100mg and came back a week later to find three good sized eggs. Came back the next day for iui.

He [Dr. Anthony Propst] took the time to get to know us and what our expectation were in regards to fertility treatment. He did not pressure us in any way to do treatment that we weren't comfortable with. He listened to our concerns...He is very caring and very knowledge in what he does. He has compassion for those going through the treatment process. He helped me through the hard times and the good times. He was always there when I needed a question or concern addressed.
After clomid did not work, we tried one IUI [at Texas Fertility Center]. We were on a time crunch since we were moving overseas due to a military assignment. After the IUI was unsuccessful, we moved right for IVF which produced 3 five 5 embryos which results in a successful fresh transfer, a frozen transfer that ended in a miscarriage and one frozen transfer that was a success.
