Kathryn Humm

Catherine [Kathryn Humm] gave me helpful information about the potential outcomes of egg-freezing vs. embryo freezing, known donors vs anonymous donors, financial implications of each choice, and the decline in fertility as one ages. These helped me to decide on the option right for me, and she was careful to present everything objectively. She is competent, charismatic and kind.

This is a small clinic that's part of George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates. It is located in a hospital in downtown DC, and the waiting area lacks the fanciness of other clinics I visited. However, it is more affordable and I feel I've received more kind, personalized, and efficient care ... I have never had trouble making an appointment, and they are pretty much available 24-7.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

I did a lot of research to find her and I'd say she's one of the best in the DMV area. Disclaimer- I haven't begun the egg freezing process yet, so my experience is solely based on the consult and post-fertility testing appointment.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

Catherine is kind, spends time answering my questions with evidence-based information in terminology that I can understand, and has good interpersonal communication skills. I never felt rushed or as though any of my questions were too dumb. My appointments are always on time, and she spent a full hour with me on two occasions- my initial consult and getting the results of my fertility tests. She presented the results in an easy to understand manner and clearly laid out the process and timeline for egg freezing.

I have never had trouble making an appointment, and they are pretty much available 24-7.

Kathryn Humm George Washington University (closed)

She [Dr. Kathryn Humm] has a wonderful bedside manner, is very understanding about each patient's unique journey, and she is super smart! She changed my protocol each time and didn't give up...she was caring but at the same time frank...I'm also incredibly grateful to her because she told us about secondary insurance in Maryland. We never could have afforded 5 egg retrievals and 4 rounds of IVF without it.

Even the front desk [at George Washington University] makes you feel cared for and not like a number. The finance department is incredible - so dedicated to saving you money (very different from the experience we had at a private clinic). I like that the appointments are at 7am so I never had to miss work. I also like that the nurses correspond by email so you have a record of the information and you don't get mixed up about directions.

How was your experience with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

She is an all-star! Compassionate and smart. She made us feel like we were on a team together and we would do everything possible to make a baby. She was very understanding about my work schedule/travel and made suggestions that eased my stress level.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Humm. She has a wonderful bedside manner, is very understanding about each patient's unique journey, and she is super smart! She changed my protocol each time and didn't give up. We always felt like she was caring but at the same time frank. Without Dr. Humm's hard work and creativity, we wouldn't have our baby girl. I'm also incredibly grateful to her because she told us about secondary insurance in Maryland. We never could have afforded 5 egg retrievals and 4 rounds of IVF without it.

Describe the protocols Kathryn Humm used in your cycles at George Washington University (closed) and their degree of success.

Dr. Humm adjusted my protocol for each round. She tried different medications, different ways of administering medications, different timing, etc. I also did a scratch test and receptivity test.

Describe your experience with your nurse at George Washington University (closed). (Assigned nurse: Mia)

Mia is such a special person. She is so warm and caring. She is my favorite nurse at GWU. She drew my blood countless times and was present for many of my procedures. She always made me smile and helped me stay calm when I was stressed out.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at George Washington University (closed).

This was one of the best parts of my experience. It was so easy to come in at 7am. I could get in and out in less than 20 minutes.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed).

Dr. Humm saved us thousands of dollars because she suggested we get secondary insurance through Maryland. It cut the cost at least in half if not more.

Describe Kathryn Humm's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at George Washington University (closed).

She educated us on our options. We transferred 2 embryos during one of the transfers but just one the rest of the time.

Review of

Kathryn Humm George Washington University (closed)

Moving into IUI, she was very candid that our chance of success wouldn't improve much more than timed intercourse. We chose IUI because we felt it would help remove from the of the stress of timed intercourse (and our insurance covered it). Dr. Humm tended to go on the side of conversative when it came to treatment which I really appreciate because I'd like to get pregnant with as little intervention as possible.

She [nurse at George Washington University] was encouraging and offered a little bit of hope during a moment where I was incredibly frustrated, tired, and ready to give up. The nursing staff really goes out of their way to help the patients...if paying out of pocket IUI can run about 1500 per procedure, not including medication costs...The staff runs on a rotation for monitoring and the nurses perform the IUIs.

How was your experience with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

Dr. Humm is very thorough in her consultations and actually writes out and sketches what is going on. This was super helpful to me because I love to know all the details of why we go with a certain treatment. I really love my experience so far with Dr. Humm, my only reservation is I wish that I saw her during my IUI procedures.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

Go in to your appointment with an open mind and trust the process. Ask questions.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

Dr. Humm was very warm and friendly at each visit I had with her. So far in my treatment, I've had two consultations (one for initial diagnosis, and one after treatments with just medication didn't work) and I saw her a handful of times during monitoring. Each visit, Dr. Humm was sure to greet me, ask me how I was doing, and thoroughly explain what was going on. She was the FIRST and so far only doctor to make me feel okay for not being able to lose weight easily (because that's a struggle with PCOS) and the first doctor who really gave me hope when it comes to PCOS and fertility.

Describe the protocols Kathryn Humm used in your cycles at George Washington University (closed) and their degree of success.

Dr. Humm evaluated me and diagnosed me with PCOS. I had all the signs of the PCOS and testing confirmed. However, after reviewing we learned that my insulin and glucose levels didn't really certify a true need for metformin so we stopped that treatment. We did move forward with Letrozole since that has a better response for patients with PCOS vs Clomid and she explained the pros and cons of both medications. Moving into IUI, she was very candid that our chance of success wouldn't improve much more than timed intercourse. We chose IUI because we felt it would help remove from the of the stress of timed intercourse (and our insurance covered it). Dr. Humm tended to go on the side of conversative when it came to treatment which I really appreciate because I'd like to get pregnant with as little intervention as possible.

Describe your experience with your nurse at George Washington University (closed). (Assigned nurse: Jasmine)

My nurse is Jasmine and she is really great! She is always prompt to email me with test results and always there to answer any questions. During my first IUI, my period ended up being delayed by 4 days which was confusing and frustrating. Jasmin was super helpful in explaining that sometimes this happens and shared that I wasn't alone in this struggle. In addition to Jasmin, everyone on staff is super friendly. There was one moment before my first IUI where I thought I wasn't responding to my medication. I was crying as I walked out of the ultrasound room and the head nurse came and gave me a hug. She was encouraging and offered a little bit of hope during a moment where I was incredibly frustrated, tired, and ready to give up. The nursing staff really goes out of their way to help the patients.

Describe your experience with George Washington University (closed).

The GWU is a smaller clinic which means you get to know all of the staff fairly quickly. It is centrally located in the city and the monitoring hours are early in the morning which is very helpful for those who work 9-5 jobs. Overall, I love all of these qualities of the clinic. One weakness is that you may not see your exact doctor at every visit. The staff runs on a rotation for monitoring and the nurses perform the IUIs.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed).

At the present moment, all of my costs were covered by insurance. However, if paying out of pocket IUI can run about 1500 per procedure, not including medication costs.

Kathryn Humm George Washington University (closed)

Dr Humm is open to trying new things if asked. Don't hesitate to ask her questions and reach out if you need anything. She is the right balance of professional and compassionate...We did the antagonist protocol with high doses of gonal F and smaller doses of menopur half way into the cycle. We also did an estrogen priming due to my AMH. The number of eggs collected was better than expected.

Monitoring appointments [at George Washington University] were quick with little waiting time...We bought a package of 2 IVF cycles with the second one at a discount. It cost $17,500. This did not include medications. Medications cost another $6k...is a small clinic and I felt like we knew the staff. Even the financial aid coordinator was excellent and we felt we could personally reach out to him at any time. We were well looked after at GW.

How was your experience with Kathryn Humm at George Washington University (closed)?

We met with 2-3 different fertility docs at all of the major clinics in the DC area and did not feel completely comfortable with anyone until we met Dr Humm. She explained everything in detail with us and we could tell that she would always keep us informed. We felt like we would be in good hands with her.

What specific things went wrong at George Washington University (closed)?

Failed to order appropriate test

Describe the specific things that went wrong at George Washington University (closed).

We decided to leave this clinic primarily due to financial reasons. GW does not offer a shared risk program for people paying out of pocket and we could not afford to have another failure without the assurance of getting some money back. But after leaving, our new Dr and clinic gave us better results. The new Dr recommended a test for my husband based on results from the first cycle with GW. This proved to be beneficial. I was disappointed Dr Humm did not investigate the male side further based on our embryonic development, which stopped after day 3. We also wonder if the new clinic has a better lab or less disturbance of the embryos since our embryos did better in the new lab and all made it to day 5. The new lab houses embryos independent of other patient embryos so that they are not disturbing yours when retrieving or checking on others. GW may have this set up as well but it was never explained to us this way in the orientation. Of course, our better results with embryo development with the new clinic could also be the luck of the cycle.

Dr. Humm is a caring and attentive practitioner. ... We were ready for and needed change to move forward after 3 failed transfers, which was our reason for changing doctors. It had nothing to do with Dr. Humm. ... Dr. Humm always took the time (in person, over the phone and via email) to respond to questions and ensure that I was comfortable and understood the decisions being made.

The team is small- 4 doctors, so you get a personalized experience and all of the doctors get tot know you and are familiar with the details of your case- I appreciated this attention to detail. However, because of the team way they operate, my actual dr. never did one of my 3 transfers or the EFT procedures leading up to my transfers. ... The clinic offered 2 frozen egg banks through which we could purchase frozen eggs. That cost was $18,000.

Describe the protocols Kathryn Humm used in your cycles at George Washington University (closed) and their degree of success.

We first used frozen (anonymous) donor eggs. Prior to doing that, under Dr. Humm's advice, we chose to do an EFT test through Yale. We actually had to repeat the test and we got some good data about my absorption of estrogen and progesterone from this test. We then purchased a cohort of 8 eggs, from which we got 2 embryos, one which we immediately transferred and ended in a chemical pregnancy. The 2nd we froze and transferred a few months later. We adjusted my protocol a bit, adding in prednisone and baby asprin (I have multiple auto-immune issues). This one was a negative test.

Dr Humm provided two hour-long consultations with us to help us understand our particular diagnosis and all of our options. She openly and patiently answered so many of our questions and drew diagrams and provided data we needed to make decisions...She spent a great deal of time explaining all of our options and when she thought we were hesitant about IVF suggested we could try IUI as a way to test the waters.

They are a smaller clinic [GWU] who tend to take a more conservative approach to embryo transfers (I understood it that they prefer single in most cases). They provide individualized attention. Further, when we raised with our doctor the financial difficulty of paying out of pocket (our insurance does not cover any fertility treatments) their admin staff followed up and worked with us to address to the extent that they could our concerns.

She is kind, patient, and compassionate. She spent a great deal of time explaining all of our options and when she thought we were hesitant about IVF suggested we could try IUI as a way to test the waters. We found her to be warm and thoughtful and also direct about what to expect - she gave us a frank assessment of our odds and noted she and the clinic in general are conservative (for example, they transfer multiple eggs less than the average at other clinics).

Dr Humm provided two hour-long consultations with us to help us understand our particular diagnosis and all of our options. She openly and patiently answered so many of our questions and drew diagrams and provided data we needed to make decisions. As things progressed with my initial cycle she was available to answer random questions or concerns I sent to my nurse. Further, she remembered and followed up on a financially-related query I made in one of our consultations; subsequently one of the admin folks provided us the information we needed.

Describe the protocols Kathryn Humm used in your cycles at George Washington University (closed) and their degree of success.

For us she prescribed one cycle of estrace (estrogen priming), then Gonal and Menopur stimulation along with Cetrocide for the latter end of stim with a trigger shot of Ovidrel.

Kathryn Humm George Washington University (closed)

Dr. Humm really wants me to avoid twins, so she will not allow me to do IUI with injectibles. She said IVF was the best course of action for us, but we do not have insurance so would prefer less invasive treatments first...spent lots and lots of time with us. She answered all of our questions and took time to make sure we really understood the pros and cons. She took into account my individual medical history in her recommendations.

Our nurse [at George Washington University] responds to emails within minutes with details responses to questions. Our main interactions with her are to do follow-up stuff (like sign consent forms) after an appointment with Dr. Humm...Coffee/tea available in the lobby. Small facility. I get the impression that they take harder cases and offer hope. I never felt like this was a fertility factory like I hear about from larger clinics.

Kathryn Humm George Washington University (closed)

Dr. Humm is one of those doctors that believe that because she is an MD, she knows what is best. I came to her after my first miscarriage with a suspicion that I had AFS because of the many autoimmune diseases. She dismissed my concerns and four IUI's and three miscarriages later, I find out from my rheumatologist that I had thrombophilia, which was most likely the reason for my reoccurring miscarriages. This doctor was 99% sure this was the issue on our first visit after just reviewing and discussing my medical history. My rheumatologists ran tests, not once but twice to confirm. Both came back as positive for a blood clotting disorder.
