Kristina Hawkins

She was very compassionate and seemed to be very knowledgeable. I did not interact with her more than once or twice. She gave me hope but I haven’t been back since I was referred for IVF after 3 cycles of failed prescription meds.

Ask questions and ask about all options

I do not ovulate and my cycles are long. We tried clomid and letrozole for several cycles, but my follicles did not respond. I was told by the nurse that I would need to choose between injectables or IVF but I was discouraged from injectables because of the risk of too many follicles maturing.

I love Dr. Hawkins! We are about the same age. I have a beautiful love story (i married at age 37) and I genuinely feel that she wants me to be pregnant just like a best friend would. With my last loss we used injectables and I got pregnant on the first cycle. Then I lost the baby and Dr. Hawkins got a little emotional as we went into her office. I truly feel she was hurt by the loss of my pregnancy like a best friend would be.

You will love her. She is personable and very thorough.

Femara 5mg. I had used clomid under the care of another Dr had miscarriages. Femara is supposed to be better than clomid and we were hoping a different medicine would produce a different outcome. I didn't ovulate on the femara. Injectable cycle 9 days of stim with gonal f. I wanted something more aggressive as I am an older woman. Achieved pregnancy but ultimately had a miscarriage.

Co pay for visits with Dr. For monitoring, these visits were covered with no co pay. Meds were covered and only required co pay.

Dr. Hawkins is nothing shy of amazing. She truly cares about her patients. My favorite thing about her is that she lays out all the options for treatment plans and gives percentages of success rate. She also warns about cost which I appreciated.

Be patient with her. She is very busy with them interns but she does have your best interest at heart.

My first 6 mo the seeing Dr. Hawkins we ran many test to see what our issues were. These test included seman analysis, saline ultrasound and blood work. My first medicated cycle we did 50 Mg of clomid to see how I would respond. She monitored the whole first cycle. I responded well, but I did not conceive. My second cycle I did the same medication without monitoring. I conceived. It ended in an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured my left Fallopian tube. Third cycle we did 50 mg of clomid, monitoring, failed round. Fourth we bumped up the dosage to 100 mg and monitoring. Another failed round Fifth round we went to 150 mg and monitoring and plus the trigger shot. Also another failed round. Each time my follicles grew beautifully and I ovulated I just could not conceive. This is when she offered us a referral to an ivf clinic.

My insurance covered 80 percent with my care from dr. Hawkins.

Dr. Hawkins is also a teaching dr, so you only see her when neccessary (for consults and procedures). Which has never bothered me bc for the most part you only go in for blood test and ultrasounds to check your progress. But, she does review all of the results and responds via nurses.

It has nothing to do with Dr. Hawkins, she's absolutely fantastic, but every woman's body is different and things may not always work the way they should or textbook style. Be patient, be cautiously optomistic and be flexible. Also, she does not do IVF, she will refer you to another clinic for that, but she will do the monitoring for the IVF cycles.

About 3 rounds of clomid, different strengths, no results. 2 rounds of ovidrel, increasing dosages, not enough results. Several rounds of Follistem for a natural insemination, varying dosages trying to get the right number of follicles. 1 cycle resulted in trigger shot. Neg preg test. Moved on to IVF. Dr. Hawkins does not do IVF, but will do monitoring for them.

I had insurance for several treatments, fortunately. For noninsurance covered procedures, price could range from $50 to $300 per visit.

Dr. Hawkins doesn't do IVF, but does everything else and works closely with clinics that do IVF. She has been my primary specialist regarding infertility although I went to another clinic for the egg retrieval and transfer. She performed all tests and I've met with her 2 times regarding plans of action. She was very knowlegeable and did a good job explaining every step, option, risk, and success rate. The nursing staff were also fantastic.

To see her first.
