The Lexington Fertility Center

I was very hesitant on which doctor to see when I was first looking around for a fertility specialist. I am glad I ended up where I did. I feel like the staff are all rooting for me to have success. I have been informed of my options and Dr. Veloudis has always supported whichever option my husband and I have chosen. I am not finished with my treatment, but I feel confident he will help it all work out.

Always ask to see him for appointments if you are specifically wanting to see him. They some times will place you with the PA, Amy, if he is busy that day or out of office. Amy is very good, but for infertility issues, she does not always have the answers like Dr. Veloudis has. Go in there with low expectations on your results because I felt like nothing was wrong with me and ended up finding I had a lot going on and was shocked.

I did three IUI's, but that was before finding out I had Tubal disease. If I had known that beforehand, I wouldn't have done the IUI's, but it's just something that no one knew until I had surgery. I was prescribed 50mg. Clomid for two iui cycles and 100mg. Clomid for one. I also used an Ovidrel trigger shot the night before for all three iui's. I had a vaginal ultrasound around CD10-12. I had an HSG test during the months I did IUI. I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and D&C , all preformed on the same day, as well as a dye test to check tubes.

It is expensive but I know all Infertility procedures are expensive if insurance doesn't cover anything, no matter the clinic.

He likes to put two embryos in during the transfer. I have not done IVF with him yet though.

As a patient experiencing the unknown and longing for a child some people want to know everything and others want to know nothing about the treatment plan. I had seen another doctor and was seeing Dr. Veloudis for a second opinion and was very pleased with the amount of time and attention he set aside for me on my initial visit. He combed through my records and explained what he was seeing and provided us with a treatment plan. It was a great first experience. He did bloodwork before leaving that day and he called me the next day with results and told me what prescription he was sending in for me. I thought that was amazing that he took the time to call.

Go in with an open mind and have questions prepared to ask.

Consultation - $300 2 day IUI with meds and trigger shot - $1100 (2 rounds)

Dr.veloudis is very knowledgeable, he will answer any questions you ask him. I was pretty clueless going into the world of infertility treatments so I wasn’t aware of the right questions to ask in order to get the best care with him. I feel like had I been more knowledgeable like I am know I would’ve had a better experience but I also feel as though I should’ve been explained the treatments and procedures I was going through to do maybe I wouldn’t have been so clueless? I also felt like he didn’t pay enough attention to us because we are young, maybe that was not the case but I felt as if ever appointment was brisk and we weren’t aggressive enough at the start. After our first iui I just needed to take a break to heal from everything I had been too and have made appointments back but I just fear not being taken seriously again and am unsure about returning

Be knowledgeable, do your research so you know what questions to ask, he is very brief so you’re going to feel rushed. Don’t. Your time is just as important as anyone else’s, make him listen.

The first three cycles I was on clomid 25mg, I would come in on cycle day 7 we would check the follicle progression, then he would tell us when to trigger and we would have timed intercourse at home. When we did our iui cycle I was taking clomid 25 mg cycle day 3-7 again. Come in on cycle day 7 for a follicle check, then was told to trigger and come back on two days back to back for iui’s. He broke the iui up into two days which I felt was more affective than a traditional iui

Each visit their was a $200 copay My iui was $800 My trigger shot was $114 My clomid was around $10 I was going to do an HSG but opted out it was priced at $1,000

My biggest issue was how much they pushed IVF. Also how they never wanted second testing. My husband also should have been told to get another seen analyst since the first came back poorly. We got a second test with another Dr and again, his results were fine. Like my fallopian tubes at the second test.

Get a second opinion if you do tests that come back in a way that would suggest you can't naturally have children. He is a great Dr other than that and the fact he goes straight to IVF as the answer.

Fertility drugs only then recommended IVF

Reasonable until they revommended IVF then said they wouldn't use insurance even if certain things would normally be covered. I thought that was odd and didn't seem legal.

The PA is wonderful. Dr. Veloudis had a very brisk bedside manner and sometimes I felt a bit rushed and as if things were left unexplained. Dr. Veloudis is a great doctor though.

Do research to ask questions.
