How was your experience with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Dr. Reynolds is an outstanding person. While we have not yet had success with IVF, we did a lot of research and felt that Dr. Reynolds most closely fit what we were looking for. Her insight and thoughtfulness made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Even when things did not work out, we never thought of going in another direction.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Be upfront with her and do not be afraid to ask questions if you have them.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Dr. Reynolds was always so kind and welcoming when we were in her office. She knew little facts each time and would recall things I've told her at previous appointments. This was important to me because I felt like she actually remembered me as a human and not just a number. She also was very heartfelt each time things did not work. Always answered communication within 24 hours.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Bethesda Fertility Center. (Assigned nurse: Patty)
My primary nurse, Patty, has been amazing. She did have a knee injury and we were reassigned to another nurse and it was a nightmare. Some of the nurses are really great, others are very out of touch and treat you like a number.
Describe your experience with Bethesda Fertility Center.
Bethesda is a small facility that has a boutique feel. Since we started going back in July 2018, I think they have started taking on more patients and are getting overwhelmed. The nurses can get confused easily and sometimes the protocol they give does not always match what Dr. Reynolds would say. I would make the nurses go back and double check everything. I also found out I was allergic to Lupron, I've literally had to remind them every single time we write up new protocol. I feel like these are things that should be easily seen and documented. Dr. Reynolds has been open to new ideas and is never against trying new things. She answers every single question we come in with and never makes you feel rushed with time.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center.
To this point we have spent $32,000 on our fertility journey. (that includes our next and final transfer) We were able to use WinFertility to help pay for some of the costs. I will say, check all pharmacies for prescriptions, do not just assume the nurses know the best places.

How was your experience with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Dr Reynolds very carefully took her time to explain the aspects of infertility and more specifically what our struggles meant for our chances of conceiving. She gave us all our options and allowed us to make an informed decision on the route we wanted to take. She didn’t try to persuade us to go one way or the other.
She was able to express what we should expect from our first iui cycle but still gave us hope that even if it was not successful she was very confident that we would be able to conceive.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Ask as many questions as you need to in order to fully understand all your options.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?

Describe the protocols Kasey Reynolds used in your cycles at Bethesda Fertility Center and their degree of success.
At my consultation appointment we got right down to business. Dr Reynolds performed a quick transvaginal ultrasound to check out the lining of my uterus and my ovaries. She also ordered bloodwork to check my overall health and hormone levels. The results came back pretty quickly and she was able to order a repeat of one of the labs that she was concerned about.
For my first cycle we decided to try a medicated iui. Based on my labs she started me off on a pretty high dose of clomid (100mg) per day for 5 days starting day 3 of my cycle. Midway she asked that I come in for a SIS ultrasound which was quite painful. My ovaries and eggs were checked at this appointment as well. After the ultrasound we decided that I should do my ovidrel trigger shot because I had several follicles that were ready and was nearing ovulation. 36 hours later I went back in for my iui. It wasn’t very quick and just a little painful because of the position of my uterus.

The nurses were great. Very personable and also very willing to answer any questions I had.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center.

4 rounds of cookie or femera with my OB then 2 IuI with Dr. Reynolds that weren’t successful so we moved directly into IVF. Luprolide protocol didn’t go well so we canceled the cycle. 2nd cycle used antagonist protocol and I got 10 mature follicles with 8 fertilizing. 2 enbryos made it to day 5 so we transferred both. Conceived and misscarried around 6.5 weeks. 3rd round starting soon which we will do endo scratch and levenox injections in addition to the same protocol- praying this one works!
[Bethesda Fertility Center is] Always on time, rarely have to wait. Good to return calls in the amount of time they tell you. Organization with billing and finances are a little chaotic depending on the situation but I hear that’s too common for fertility offices... 1st nurse I was assigned to was very busy and quick to respond though emails but didn’t always answer every question I had. This next round of IVF I am assigned to another nurse who is fantastic! Responds quickly, even calls me to check in before my cycle without prompting. She called in my meds early so I didn’t have to worry about them. Love her!

How was your experience with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
She is extremely knowledgeable and has data and studies to back up each of her treatments suggestions for my particular situation. She explains things well to myself who needs details and comforted and my husband who is factual and wants all the data. She is very upbeat and to the point. She’s excited about what she’s doing and encouraging which is definitely needed on this long hard journey.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
She is the only RE I’ve consulted with. I saw her partner, Dr. Robertshaw who is also fantastic and highly recommended, but Dr. Reynolds just got me right away. She made a plan of attack and encouraged us to make decisions together but was ready to move forward as aggressively as we wanted. Every time we talk she encourages me and tells me this will happen, which is what I need to keep moving forward!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
She just seems to truly care about your journey. She has also experienced some of this and shares this with patients so she connects differently that other drs.

Very blessed to have a specific amount contributed to fertility care through my husbands company and able to run all charges through insurance. We are approaching anther cycle and will soon be completely out of pocket pay. We haven’t received a breakdown of costs yet but that has been requested.

She [Dr. Kasey Reynolds] did an aggressive treatment and really upped my meds (gonal f, menopur, lupron) to try to get as many as we could but even with the increase in meds, they were only seeing around 6 follicles...We reset and did a menopur only cycle and it worked so much better! We got 13 (the most I’ve ever had). 11 fertilized, we did a day 3 transfer bc the majority weren’t looking great. They didn’t take and the rest had arrested by day 5 again.
The nursing staff [at Bethesda Fertility Center] is great. You can tell they all really enjoy their jobs and care about you...Our IVF cycle cost around $10k, which was after a military discount...I don’t have any complaints. The atmosphere is happy and pleasant. Even the way they decorate is homey and not clinical. I loved how they handled retrieval day, it was very seamless and when I did have some high blood pressure afterwards, 3 nurses hung out with me until it came down. Their biggest strength is the people working there.

How was your experience with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
She’s amazing. She’s very good at her job and I would go back to her again and again. My body doesn’t respond as it should, and she very much tackled our case and tried everything she could to get us pregnant.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Trust her! She genuinely cares about you.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
She genuinely cares! She and her whole staff are so welcoming. And they really take the time to know your story.
Describe the protocols Kasey Reynolds used in your cycles at Bethesda Fertility Center and their degree of success.
My body doesn’t respond as it should, so even though my levels were normal, I wasn’t producing many follicles at our old clinic. She did an aggressive treatment and really upped my meds (gonal f, menopur, lupron) to try to get as many as we could but even with the increase in meds, they were only seeing around 6 follicles, which made no sense! She canceled that round (which I’m very thankful for bc I didn’t want to go through a retrieval for only 6 since our embryos always arrest by day 5.) We reset and did a menopur only cycle and it worked so much better! We got 13 (the most I’ve ever had). 11 fertilized, we did a day 3 transfer bc the majority weren’t looking great. They didn’t take and the rest had arrested by day 5 again. By the time we had done this with her we were at the end of our 4th IVF attempt (having done 2 rounds at a different clinic.) So with her advising us, we have decided to stop trying via IVF.

Dr Reynolds has supported our treatment from the start. She worked with us, our schedule, our finances to help us understand the prognosis and what would be next. She never 'did the same' again if it didn't work the first time, she always adjusted the plan of action.... Antagonist protocol. I wasn't as strong of a responder as expected so we had to crank up the drugs and go an extra day- but we ended up with 17 eggs retrieved. For both FETs we did lupron with progresterone - after a body rash during the FET, we added/adjusted meds for the next FET.
I have worked with several nurses [at Bethesda Fertility Center], did have a primary nurse during IVF, but not one prior to that. After the first primary nurse, when we did an FET, we got another nurse. I was okay with that - but I did have to communicate to the practice I felt that nurse could be better with responding/communicating to me and turning around schedules faster.

Describe your experience with Bethesda Fertility Center.
This clinic is great, they are on time most all the time, only have had to wait occasionally. It's private and you feel comfortable going in. They have made it very spa like so you do not feel it's so doc office like. The one weakness, which I understand, is that they are not on an electronic medical record, so you do not get to see your results online, do not have appt reminders electronically - that is something to get used to.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center.
All based on insurance coverage! This is hard to describe, but the IUI were about $350 (plus meds). IVF 'package' was competitively priced and offered small discount for pay in full.
Describe Kasey Reynolds's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Bethesda Fertility Center.

How was your experience with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Very caring and passionate about what she does as a fertility doctor. She takes the time to explain the risks and connected me with a trusted specialty doctor for my damaged tube surgery. Interactions with her can seem impersonal at times when they are busy and she was quick to suggest IVF after my surgeries. This was not the intent or my expectation, per previous discussions, as based on the results of my 1st surgery I was told we would be able to continue with IUI with more success.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
Ask for THEIR practices' success rates not the general medical success rates which are quoted
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kasey Reynolds at Bethesda Fertility Center?
I loved Dr. Kasey Reynolds as my fertility doctor. However, I feel like this clinic may be overwhelmed with too many patients which made me feel more like a number than a human most of the time. I have two surgeries last year to remove scar tissue and one damaged fallopian tube. Afterwards, they seemed too quick to suggest IVF in my opinion. Office staff actually told me I was no longer a patient after taking a 3 month break...
Describe the protocols Kasey Reynolds used in your cycles at Bethesda Fertility Center and their degree of success.
Average dose of Letrozole was prescribed to help me ovulation consistently month-to-month initially. This was bumped up slightly prior to my first IUI. After the surgeries and my two failed IUIs, she wanted to prescribe me clomid over July 4th weekend although my insurance would not pay for it. Later I found out that it would have only been a few bucks out of pocket AFTER countless hours on the phone with the insurance company vs. doctors vs. pharmacy battles and ending up missing that cycle's opportunity. That is when we decided to take our break.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.

Describe your experience with Bethesda Fertility Center.
Weaknesses: can treat you like a number, do not have a support system aligned with the clinic like others in the area do, quote medical success rates instead of their own practices' success rate, some nurses can be rude and cold in their tones and words
Strengths: very passionate doctor Dr. Reynolds, loves what she does, willing to take a few extra minutes to comfort you after hearing bad news, will refer to you the best trusted docs she knows if additional surgeries are needed

She [Dr. Kasey Reynolds] was very kind and warm. Walked me through the whole process and made sure me and my husband understood what was going on...caring bedside manner...She made me feel like we made the right decision and that it is going to work out well for us in the end. She has a very positive attitude...She doesn’t make you feel stupid for asking and she makes sure you understand everything. She’s also extremely flexible with your schedule to make things less stressful.
[Bethesda Fertility Center is a] Small clinic but very well run. [Staff is] helpful and happy to see you. They have their own app that you can communicate with them through and that makes it so much easier instead of playing phone tag all day...Everyone is helpful and returns you questions/messages in a timely manner...We haven’t started the actual cycle beyond clomid which was fairly simple. The rationale for using them was to force the process of ovulation which turned out to not be an issue.

Everyone is helpful and returns you questions/messages in a timely manner

First she [Kasey Reynolds] had me take birth control pills for 4 months to get my estrogen levels up. Then we started Menopur injections. The first round I responded too well and had too many mature eggs. Next we decided to try another round of injections but a lower dosage.... Very energetic and enthusiastic. Talks fast but tries to explan everything thoroughly. Clearly a busy doctor but takes the time to answer questions and be relational. When our first round of treatment was unsuccessful she was helpful in laying out all other possible options.
Great professional staff [at Bethesda Fertility Ctr]. Open on Saturdays which is very helpful. They use an app for sending messages which makes communication easy. Once I sent a message and didn't get an answer for a couple days, but the receptionist was able to see the message I sent to the doctor and she was able to help me.... Once I had to go in for an ultrasound on a Saturday and another doctor, not Dr Reynolds, examined me. She didn't communicate with me after the appointment about how much Menopur to take. The following day she did message me but her instructions were not appropriate and it resulted in my body overstimulating.

been challenging finding days when Dr Reynolds is in for my next appointment...She's very nice. I've only met with her once so far...She's young and energetic. Easy to talk to. Friendly and warm personality. Helpful. Good at explaining things. Talks fast but willing to explain things again....she was honest and hopeful. She told me with my issues it might take time, but it wouldn't be impossible for me to get pregnant. She was recommended to me by my obgyn. Excited to go back to see her.

They also let me wait until all my test results are in to come back for a followup, that way I don't have to pay for extra visits...The day I was there seemed to be a busy hectic day for the office staff. Everyone was running around, but the nurses acted calm when taking my blood.

Dr. Reynolds is friendly and puts you at ease quickly. She is knowledgeable and helps you do understand exactly what the treatment is going to be. She would sit with us to explain what is going on and she had a positive attitude towards our goals.... Dr. Reynolds is efficient and knowledgeable, but also friendly and funny and puts you at ease. I had to leave the clinic because Bethesda does not do frozen donor egg transfers and I miss her!
Strengths: Dr. Reynolds is great, great clinic atmosphere, they conducted a 2 hour IVF class when we were first started IVF, which was so helpful. Weaknesses: The lab [Bethesda Fertility Center] only does fresh donor egg transfers and we wanted to do frozen so we had to move to a new clinic. I was sad to leave them.... The nurses were great! They were friendly and compassionate but also knowledgeable and got back to me quickly.

I do know know Dr. Reynold's approach to multiple embryo transfers. She only did IUI's for me.

Dr. Reynolds was confident that transferring two in our situation was an okay choice because we were okay with having multiples should that happen. We are glad we took her advice and transferred two because 1 implanted and 1 tried but did not progress...always took the time to explain what was going on and answer questions. She seemed excited to see my husband and I each time we went in and was always up-beat. She is very high energy and talks fast/is to the point, but I always felt like she cared... is very knowledgeable and optimistic. She is also super friendly and seems genuinely happy to see you at each visit. Sometimes she seemed rushed because they are busy but never made me feel like I couldn't ask questions (the only reason I could tell she was rushed was because the waiting room would be busy, etc.). She is a fast talker but will always answer questions and explain things for you. We had a very great experience!
The nursing staff [at Bethesda Fertility Center] was very helpful and friendly. They were happy to answer questions through the messaging app on my phone (this also has a very helpful treatment calendar). They were always understanding and excited to see us as well...is a part of the TriHealth network and because we have TriHealth insurance, a significant percentage of the overall IVF costs were covered...The clinic is easy to get to with a lot of parking, clean, nicely decorated and has up-to-date technology. It is a welcoming environment and I always felt comfortable being there. The rooms for blood draws, ultrasounds, and offices for meeting are all right there. The procedure rooms and labs are just down the hall.

Describe the protocols Kasey Reynolds used in your cycles at Bethesda Fertility Center and their degree of success.
I did birth control pills starting on Day 3 of my cycle. On ~Day 20, I started daily 10U Lupron injections to prevent early ovulation. On Day ~28, I started my stimulation shots (follistim and menopur) for 7 days while continuing Lupron. Shortly after this, I had my egg retrieval. We transferred 2 5-day embryos.
