I was put on an antagonist protocol [by Dr. Shaun Williams] for my IVF cycle which resulted in 19 eggs retrieved with 15 mature and 100 percent fertilization rate. Then we only ended up with 2 embryos which were both graded B’s. It was very frustrating to only have 2 embryos in which neither worked. I was having symptoms of OHSS after retrieval so he recommended a freeze all and do a frozen transfer

How was your experience with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Very good bed side manner and very compassionate but I feel as though he was so busy he did not take the time to research our case and get to the bottom of a diagnosis. I understand sometimes it is truly unexplained infertility but we have been trying to conceive for 3 years and we still have no answers. He always remained very positive about us and our future but the outcome was always different.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Make sure you get any and all questions answered along the way.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
There are 6 doctors in the practice so I saw a different one all the time and it was never very personal.

Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Connecticut. (Assigned nurse: Patricia Jones)
The nurses are not very detail oriented and they leave almost everything up the doctors. I feel they do the minimum amount and don’t reach out to you first.
Describe your experience with RMA of Connecticut.
The practice has 6 doctors and 4 offices across the state so if you are looking for a personal experience this is not the place for you. On the other hand they are supposed to have very good success rates so I guess you take the good with the bad.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Connecticut.
Morning monitoring was between 7-8am everyday but sometimes you would wait a long time because it was first come first serve. If you have to be in work at a certain time this could pose a problem.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut.
$17000 for IVF cycle not including cryopreservation
Describe Shaun Williams's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Connecticut.
He was very against transferring more than one embryo with his reasoning being that the chance of a positive is not any greater with 2 but the risks for a multiple pregnancy are much higher.

As a single mom to be I feel like there are definitely things that should've been discussed. As I'm entering my first IVF cycle with donor sperm, it hit me 2 days before my retrieval that I would like to also freeze eggs (in addition to embryos) if I have a good enough response. This was never recommended by my doctor [Dr. Williams]! ..Strengths include a calm, relaxing demeanor. If you're an anxious patient you would do well with him. But he's very impersonal and I felt like just a number.

How was your experience with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Strengths include a calm, relaxing demeanor. If you're an anxious patient you would do well with him. But he's very impersonal and I felt like just a number. I am a single mom to be and did not feel well taken care of on an emotional level.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
If you need a calm, reassuring demeanor, you'll like him. If you want a doctor that treats you as a person with a life and feelings you might want to go with someone else.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
All talk was robotic and clinical. Have seen him for over a year and don't think he even knows what I do professionally. Whereas another doctor knew asked and learned more about me during one monitoring session
Describe the protocols Shaun Williams used in your cycles at RMA of Connecticut and their degree of success.
No "infertility" issues per say. Just a single female that wants a baby. So started with a clomid/trigger IUI. 2nd IUI clomid was upped and follistim added. Resulted in a chemical pregnancy. 3rd IUI was follistim and trigger and was negative. Just had my first egg retrieval for IVF #1 and used follistim, menopur, ganirelix and hCG trigger. Resulted in 20 eggs retrieved.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Connecticut. (Assigned nurse: Linda)
My primary nurse was very knowledgeable and organized. But lacked in tenderness and compassion. The blood draw nurses were sweet. And the nurses in the egg retrieval section were amazing!!
Describe your experience with RMA of Connecticut.
Strengths are that it is a top of the line clinic with it's cleanliness, technology, and capabilities. They also focus on the whole body and offer yoga, acupuncture, and support groups! Weaknesses are with the lack of compassion in some of the staff. I know they do this for a living but I think it's critical for them to remember the patients they are dealing with. Also would say communication is sometimes lacking. If I didn't do research and ask a million questions there are some things that would've never been revealed. I'm also unhappy and disheartened that there was also a mistake when information that I relayed to a doctor was put into the wrong patient's file. This ultimately caused the lab to not freeze the last bit of donor sperm that I had.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Connecticut.
They were pretty organized as long as you got there at 7 am on the dot. The closest office is about 30 minutes away and in order to get seen and get out and get to work on time I needed to be there the minute they opened.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut.
After 3 IUIs using donor sperm I've charged about $7,000 for sperm, deductibles, and meds.
Describe Shaun Williams's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Connecticut.
Doctor originally recommended transferring 2 due to my age (38). After retrieval, he stated that my embryo development was above average for someone my age and he now recommends 1. So I'm confused and overwhelmed at the decision.

How was your experience with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Dr. Williams is a very compassionate and hands on doctor. He took the time to explain everything to me even when I asked the same questions over and over. My diagnosis was hard to process and I felt like he was invested in my care. He shared more than just clinical ideas on how to improve my chances which meant a lot to me considering I like holistic approached to my health as well. He treated me like a person and seemed genuinely happy when I achieved positive results. I felt cared for by him and never questioned his competency which says a lot for me since I have had negative experiences with doctors that shook my trust in the past at prior centers. He is soft and gentle in his care.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Book an appointment with him!
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut?
Dr. Williams always took the time to explain things to me. He related with me and made me feel like my case was unique to him even though I am sure it was not based on his extensive experience. I felt cared for by him, like he was invested in my care.
Describe the protocols Shaun Williams used in your cycles at RMA of Connecticut and their degree of success.
I came to Dr. Williams with a balanced translocation and he uncovered PCOS as well which meant I would have difficulty keeping a pregnancy if I was so lucky as to achieve it to begin with considering I did not ovulate regularly. He didn't push me into IVF and allowed me to make the decision for myself. I could go forward with an IUI armed with the knowledge that I might miscarry or go to IVF with genetic testing of the embryos prior to transfer. I felt supported completely with whatever decision I made and eventually chose to do IVF which I'm so grateful that I did.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Connecticut. (Assigned nurse: Linda )
She was always available to me via email or phone. She was kind, caring, and helped me to coordinate my cycle despite my crazy work schedule!
Describe your experience with RMA of Connecticut.
The clinic had a new office and a clean, modern look. It was quite the upgrade from prior doctors' offices that have the old medical building feel. They treat the whole patient and offer so many services which I utilized! I like the holistic approach and used yoga and acupuncture. I also attended a few free events which helped me through my treatment. They have great rates for my age group. I also found the staff to be very friendly and understanding when I had difficulty scheduling an appointment. Whenever I saw a different doctor for monitoring, I felt like even though they didn't consult with me prior that they cared about me.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Connecticut.
It was first come first serve. I sometimes had to wait 10-20 minutes to be seen but usually only on the busy days like Monday mornings. They were quick, in and out appointments however I never felt rushed if I had additional questions that day.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut.
I compared pricing for the services that I needed since I needed IVF and PGS testing. They were the most reasonably pricing considering I was a self pay patient. They also offered the only self pay IVF packages that included medications, too. Some facilities made me feel like they were the cheaper option because they had a lower quote but what they don't tell you (and I wouldn't have known if I didn't dig deeper) is that they didn't include meds which added thousands! In the end, RMA was the cheapest option.
Describe Shaun Williams's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Connecticut.
Considering I genetically screened my embryos and was 28 during my first transfer, it was strongly recommended to me to transfer one embryo. He thoroughly explained the risks associated with multiples.

Describe the protocols Shaun Williams used in your cycles at RMA of Connecticut and their degree of success.
Dr Williams had me do the 3 IUIs and when those weren't successful move to IVF. One cycle produced a viable embryo that passed chromosome testing but when implanted stopped growing. The second cycle the embryos stopped developing after day 3, Dr Williams was very up front with me about his reservations with doing another IVF with my own eggs. He suggested I could do another IUI if I really wanted to keep trying with my own eggs to reduce costs since I wasn't getting a lot of eggs at retrieval anyways. I did this but was unsuccessful so moved to donor eggs which resulted in a baby!
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Connecticut. (Assigned nurse: Kristen Hennigan)
Kristin was fantastic. Very responsive to calls or emails. Helped determine best place to get meds from for lowest cost too.
Describe your experience with RMA of Connecticut.
They have an incredibly supportive single mothers program which put me at ease, helped me understand the process better, provided emotional support, and led me to meet other single mothers to be.
Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at RMA of Connecticut.
Monitoring was 7-8 every morning. The early you got there the faster it was to get in and out so I was usually the first one there and never had to wait. The nurses drawing blood were great, all kept your spirits up. Then went to ultra sound room to wait for doctor, sometimes this could be a while if issues with a patient.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Shaun Williams at RMA of Connecticut.
Have opportunity plans for a lump sum payment if your insurance doesn't cover, this was around 10k for IVF cycle. Donor eggs were 22k for 2 lots.
Describe Shaun Williams's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at RMA of Connecticut.
Only supported single transfer with my own eggs. By time I got to donor eggs he allowed 2 in the transfer but only 1 took.

The biggest cost was the Ovidrel, which was about $90/cycle (although that came from an outside pharmacy). Most of the in-house costs were covered by insurance.

Describe the protocols Shaun Williams used in your cycles at RMA of Connecticut and their degree of success.
We used an egg donor and a separate gestational carrier. Both were given hormones prior to their procedures to optimize their biology. The egg donor went in for egg retrieval. I provided a sperm sample. After the embryos were created, we waited a few days. Of the best embryos, Dr. Williams chose two. He implanted them into the carrier. This resulted in one baby. The process was repeated again for a second baby two years later.
Describe your experience with your nurse at RMA of Connecticut.
Nurses and Staff are top notch. They are totally experienced and empathetic--the perfect combination for an excellent experience.
