2020, Unknown Success
[Dr. Terrence Lewis] he greets me with a huge smile and genuine concern about my well-being. He is caring and explains each step of the process and always ends the session asking is there any other questions...After all of my testing was done, we came to the conclusion that I had Unexplained fertility as my factor. He explained the numbers and statistics from using medicated cycles with Timed intercourse as well as medicated cycles paired with and IUI
The Strengths [of BAMC] are that it's a military clinic, so medications are free/discounted. IUI is lower priced/free and IVF is done a few times during the year at discounted rates...IVF and IUI are not done in the same month so if you're trying to do a specific one you have to make sure it isn't the other treatments cycle...

Describe the protocols Terrence Lewis used in your cycles at Brooke Army Medical Center and their degree of success.
After all of my testing was done, we came to the conclusion that I had Unexplained fertility as my factor. He explained the numbers and statistics from using medicated cycles with Timed intercourse as well as medicated cycles paired with and IUI. He did not mention IVF yet as IUI is the starting point for those with Unexplained fertility typically. Due to the pandemic occurring, things have been hectic, but he has still be accessible and helped with my request to do medicated timed intercourse while in clinic infertility treatments are on pause.

Describe your experience with Brooke Army Medical Center.
The Strengths are that it's a military clinic, so medications are free/discounted. IUI is lower priced/free and IVF is done a few times during the year at discounted rates.
Weaknesses are the waiting as it's a military clinic. If you are a dependent and have a certain insurance you don't have the option to be seen at an outside clinic and therefore must wait on the clinic's availability to see you which at times can be months. IVF and IUI are not done in the same month so if you're trying to do a specific one you have to make sure it isn't the other treatments cycle.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Brooke Army Medical Center.
Not the RE clinic, but during my HSG, the doctor performing it (radiology/Same hospital) didn't take pictures of the procedure so there are no documented pictures of the results in the event we move and have to change clinics...I will have to repeat the procedure before any treatment can be given.
