We’re still in the beginning stages but weight loss was discussed [with Dr. Stephen Collins], and doing different procedures to ensure my tubes are clear, and my uterus has no polyps or abnormalities. Blood work has been done and femara has been discussed as a treatment option over clomid...I felt like a human, he had a nice personal folder with all my information and upcoming procedures, but I can tell he has done this many times before. The questions felt rehearsed and there wasn’t much enthusiasm in the consultation. I am happy he was willing to take action right away and start baseline blood work..he also had a treatment plan in place, and lined up an appointment for a sonohystergram
the sperm analysis will be about $360 [at Yale University-New Haven]...I am new to this clinic but they have a nice atmosphere, free coffee, with a knowledgeable staff, who are kind and caring. I am not sure of any weaknesses yet, but their strengths would definitely be experience and knowledge...I had questions and she [nurse] was able to call me back right away and sort it out...We’re still in the beginning stages but weight loss was discussed [with Dr. Stephen Collins], and doing different procedures to ensure my tubes are clear,

How was your experience with Stephen Collins at Yale University?
I just started treatment with Dr. Collins and so far it’s going well. I am waiting on blood work and I go for a sonohystergram tomorrow (9/27) He is my second fertility doctor, as the first one quit his practice half way through treatment. My obgyn tried to take over, but her experience in fertility is limited and I was referred to a reproductive endocrinologist for further treatment. I am excited and hopeful that I will receive the right care with Dr. Collins
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephen Collins at Yale University?
Have your past medical history and test results on hand as it helps for reference at the consultation. Also if you can, don’t go alone..Dr.Collins and his team were great but it would’ve been nice to have some emotional support from my significant other or a friend.
