Alabama Fertility Specialists (formerly ART Fertility Program of Alabama)

He is willing to answer any questions we might have. I love that he gives us more than one option. He always lets us know what to expect next. He only wanted us to try IUI twice before reevaluating and deciding on our next steps. He gave us the option on whether or not to move on to injectables. He sees us himself at least every other month.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions!

Felt like he rushed through the embryo transfer. Made me very nervous. My transfer was delayed an hour Due to another surgery. He always gives us plenty of information and options based on what we can afford. He seems to be knowledgeable about my problems and what we can do for them.

Be sure to ask what your other options are before making decisions.

I was on the antagonist protocol With my first cycle, it wasn’t as hoped for. I’m going to do the Lupron flare with my second cycle.

IVF $12,000, other Monitoring and tests $10,000

Dr. Long has been incredible. He makes us feel like we're the only patients he sees. He is compassionate, caring, and really spoke to us more like friends than patients. He has done everything possible to accommodate us and help us on this journey.

Be prepared. Ask questions.

For IVF, TESA, Laser Assisted hatching, ICSI, we payed close to $13,000 per cycle. So, right at $40,000 total.

He was great and listened to me well. He was open to my feedback and adjusted the treatment plan according to what I wanted. I will say I only saw him for the initial consultation and for procedures, but otherwise saw nurse practitioners (who were also wonderful). No complaints.

You are in good hands

We have probably paid around 1,000 for medications, ultrasound, procedures, and office visits.

I appreciate all of her help & everything she did for us in the midst of 2+ years. She prayed w/ us & always ensured that we understood everything that she was explaining to us. When providing us with bad news there was no sugar coating it was bluntly given to us which is what we asked of her. Thank you, Dr. Honea!

Be patient, keep faith alive & always write down questions to bring with you.

$1000+ for IVF w/ insurance $200+ for each IUI $400+ for IVF medication $40 for male testing

She answered all of our questions and explained things very well to the both of us. During the hsg test she was gentle and comforting. She also experienced infertility so I think she truly has a heart for her job.

When in doubt ask questions

Letrozole was our drug of choice. US were done for my first cycle 3 times a week. Monitoring follicles. Hcg trigger shot was done and progesterone was checked a week after ovulation. Labs were drawn with every visit.

He is very detailed in his speaking. Takes time to answer questions. He was open to listening about what we thought we wanted. He took our concerns seriously. During surgery to remove endo there was a complication (scraped ovary). He said it wasn’t a big deal and moved on but I wish more details would have been given.

Don’t be hesitant to ask questions

Iui- a cycle of clomid, global f, leterozole, progesterone, trigger shot. No resulted pregnancies

All infertility is expensive. I would say they are right on board with all other clinics

N/a

Dr. Long is one of few doctors with no arrogance to his demeanor. He is pleasant, conversational, interested to get to know you, your spouse, and you situation. He has a calming spirit and he can talk to you in a way that puts you at ease. I am in the medical field and he entertained all of my questions and concerns. I couldn't have been happier to have been referred to him. Dr Long is one of the most laid back physicians I've ever been around. You can talk to him about anything and it's like talking to an old friend. When going through something as stressful as Fertility Trx, having a doctor that can put you at ease is everything! I've recommended him to many friends and acquaintances and Everyone has felt the same I way about their experience with Dr. Long as my husband and I did. He's a scientist and will explain as much as you need him to.

Trust him and the staff. They do genuinely care about you!

He was exactly what we were looking for. He never gave up on us. He took you back to his office to discuss what happened and what the next treatment was going to be. He is a very compassionate man.

Trust him.

He tried a high dose of follistim first with my body only producing 1 follicle. Then he tried follistim with menopur and still I only produced 1 follicle. He increase the dosage everything but my body just hasn't responded well to the meds. Now we have to decide if using donor eggs is right for us.

My insurance covered 80% of everything except injections. Their office works with you if you do not have insurance. It is very affordable for what you get. IUI was out of pocket of course but wasn't an arm and a leg.

Dr Long came in after I had already had an full ivf cycle from a “CENTER OF EXCELLENCE “ that ended up depressing me with the low quality experience being that I had a retrieval(15eggs), 3 transfers, and still no baby and I was tired of driving out of state just to be even broker and even more devastated so I decided to go back to Dr Long who immediately did test and found hydrosalpinx in my right tube and immediate removed and clearly stated that I would’ve never gotten pregnant with that fluid dripping in my uterus fast forward a month he did and hsg and found that everything is fine now and I got pregnant the same month and I’ve been trying since 2015 of course it ended in miscarriage and then We got set up for invocell the newest accomplishment for us fertility patients that don’t want to keep spending all of their life savings and he I am currently starting meds and waiting for my chance I’m so 100% guaranteed that he and Karen will make this happen for me because they have done more for me in 3 months than my previous RE did in almost 2 years

Don’t doubt his options they really work

Im currently on mini ivf cycle also known as invocell cycle and good is it a blessing because it’s makes ivf affordable for all women

Everything covered by Insurance but definitely everyone can afford the affordable ivf on 3500 for all patients now that’s a milestone that

They explain all risks and let you decide which is how it should all work

He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in people terms. He explains the pros and cons of every treatment in a way I understand and is understanding not everyone can afford all options. His staff is fantastic in Montgomery

He is very to the point. I enjoy that. Go in with an open mind and its OK to cry it out. His staff will hug you.

I did letrozol for all rounds. I did base line labs and an ultrasound on day 1 of my cycle and started meditation day 5 I believe. I would come back for more labs and ultrasound then decide when to start next injections. The results would determine when we would do iui as well. Its a lot of time in the office and the staff is wonderful and explains every step in a precise manor. For me my eggs like to stay in my ovaries. The stimulating medicine wasn't the answer for now but that's what we were shooting for.

It was not cheap but was cheaper than more aggressive options

I have never felt so cared for by a physician before. She explained things on such a low level we felt so much more at peace because of how in depth she was at explaining our diagnosis and prognosis with treatment.

Don’t wait! Go see her! She’s fantastic.

We have not been through the entire process of IVF yet, but we have started the process. I have been diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis. My chances with IUI are very low but my chances with IVF are much more promising. We have egg retrieval in one month.

Around $14,000 for egg retrieval, transfer, and genetic testing.

Dr. Mann is very clear in her approach with eSET. She is not opposed to 2 embryos but told us we would have to have a very in depth conversation discussing all the very serious side effects with it.

Dr. Honey has excellent bedside manner and makes sure you understand every aspect of the infertility process. She shows such caring and support especially during those times I couldn’t help but cry. She has truly been the best physician I have dealt with thus far. Love her and highly recommend!!!

Go in with and open heart and open mind. As hard as your situation may be, know that you are in good hands!

I have done fertility medication and also had a lap procedure to try and open everything up but it did not work so IVF is the only option for more.

Doctor Houseman was very understanding she explained everything to me each time that I went in she always called me and my Husband by name we felt like family to her She made me feel like she was going through this with me she and she staff were extremely supportive

She is very concerned and very aware of what your going through because she has been there she is one of the Best

The cost was a little high

She told me all the details about my embryo and even made sure was sure on my transfer before she set up my transfer Day

I wasn't a number. I was La Toya the patient. He was very candid and upfront. He reassured me that I would get pregnant and that he would be there every step to help me and my husband. He has a smaller practice which means he knows his patients more intimately than he would have in a bigger practice

Be open! Ask questions and relax

I have secondary infertility. I have a period every month but I'm not producing an egg that will fertilize. Therefore, I require medication, trigger shots and other assistance

I have insurance for doctor's visit However, the cost of IUI is $3500

she is very personal and caring with treatments and decisions to be made with each cycle/retrieval/transfer. she always assured us she was acting with our best interests in mind. she personally checked on us after each failed cycle

be honest in what you want and don’t hold back

we transferred one the first two transfers and then she allowed us to transfer two the next cycle bc one embryo wasn’t graded as high as the rest.

Honest and always upfront with information, will answer all questions and always made us feel very comfortable. He went over treatment and options with us. Very understanding, compassionate person, trust his opinions and options.

Trust the process and be open minded. Stay strong!

He was great. He really took his time listening to our concerns and answered every question that we had. We both came up with a game plan and he kept us informed on everything every step of the way. I really appreciate everything that he did for us and our little girl.

Just listen. He knows what he is talking about.

The clinic cost was not bad at all.
