Reproductive Biology Associates - Atlanta (Prelude Network Clinic)

I found Dr. Straub to be very smart and able to explain my options effectively. He is a little bit blunt and to the point, but not to the point of being rude. I had four failed IUIs before moving on to IVF, three of which were natural/unmedicated, and I wish that I had a better understanding of the reasons to choose a medicated cycle beforehand. To Dr. Straub's credit, he did explain what was involved with each, but I didn't fully comprehend the differences that monitoring timing and using a trigger shot could make. My first IVF cycle and transfer were successful, and I have gone back to him for my second transfer for baby #2.

Don't be afraid to ask him questions. He may seem a little short at times, but I promise he welcomes questions and likes to answer them for you.

My one medicated IUI cycle was using clomid and a trigger shot. Then I moved to IVF and started with birth control pills before beginning injections of Follistim. I can't remember the exact amount, but I do recall that Dr. Straub said that it was on the upper end of the spectrum. He said that I "responded modestly" to the medication. I had 18 follicles at baseline, 12 follicles grew, 9 eggs retrieved, 8 were mature, 7 fertilized with ICSI, 3 grew to blasts, and all 3 were PGT normal. My first FET was successful with my son. For the FET, I was on Lupron injections for approximately 4 weeks before starting Estrogen patches, and then PIO injections a few days before transfer. I am repeating the same transfer protocol beginning the end of Oct to try for baby #2 in mid Dec.

Since I was going to the office close to me and not the main location, they were super flexible with scheduling. They just required it be before the lab pickup so that they could get the bloodwork results back in time.

I believe that an IUI was ~$400, egg retrieval cycle was ~$14,000, and I just paid for an FET cycle, so that was $4,600.

Dr. Straub only recommended a single embryo transfer to me and never even brought up multiples

I was very pleased with Dr. Straub and the nursing team at RBA. I felt taken care of each step of the way. All of my questioned were answered and they were always available. I was very nervous and unaware of what to expect and they went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.

It's okay to not know. Go in and have your questions ready to be answered.

We used a traditional IVF with ICSI. My protocol included Gonal F and Ganirelix. We had a very successful cycle resulting in 19 eggs and in the end we ended up with 7 healthy embryos.

We paid for about $15,000 up front because our insurance did not cover anything and then another $3500 in medications

Dr Straub has taken the time to explain every step of the process, all our options, and providing guidance with our selected next steps. He's direct with his information and interpreting our diagnosis, but compassionate to our emotions when talking things through.

Come informed: Cycle dates, dates of any procedures/GYN visits, family history.

My husband and I tried 3 cycles with letrozole, unsure on the dosage. We then tried 2 cycles with a trigger shot and timed intercourse. Due to my diagnosis, Dr Straub advised that IVF will give us the highest chance of success, but was open to us trying less invasive treatment first. Both letrozole and the timed intercourse was not successful, so we're currently moving on to IVF.

We're currently going through treatment. I would estimate that we've currently spent ~$2000 for testing, ultrasounds, medication. We have not yet gotten to the 'expensive' part.

Dr Straub said the clinic prefers to do a single embryo transfer, but I cannot remember the logic nor have I done further research on my preference.

He was very straight to the point and helped us make the most realistic decision that would best fit what we were wanting to achieve. He was very informative and was clear on the plan. I had surgery to remove a polyp in my uterus and he did a great job. He does a great job of comforting during this emotional time.

Bring a note pad to write info discussed down because he tends to talk fast.

We first tried IUI which I started on 100mg of clomid daily and triggered with HCG on day 12 and underwent IUI 36 hours later. After the failed attempt, we embarked on our IVF journey. We started on a high dose of Gonal-F for my age due to my AMH being low. I started with 300units twice daily. On day 7 it was determined my ovaries were not responding and we cancelled egg retrieval. So the next protocol is called a "flare" protocol and Ill will be the max dose of Gonal -F 600units twice daily with Lupron. Have not started yet, if this doesnt work we will try max dose of other protocols

$14,100 for monitoring, transfer and PSG testing. This does NOT include $5700 that was paid twice due to one cancelled round.

He recommended single embryo transfer with PSG testing

Dr. Straub is very knowledgeable and explains treatment thoroughly, but can come off as dry. I can’t say I imagine him to have the best bedside manner, but I would say he’s trustworthy and takes his patient’s care seriously.

Don’t take it personally when you first meet him and he doesn’t seem thrilled to see you. Be patient and you’ll see that he draws out your entire care plan and explains your history to you. You’ll appreciate his knowledge and personality in the end.

I had already been prescribed clomid and letrozole at my OB. But I had not yet done an HSG. And my OB didn’t think I needed metformin. The first thing Dr. Straub did was order the metformin 1500mg and HSG. It was clear. I took the metformin for a month and a half before we started a new cycle with a doubled dose of letrozole (5MG) and an IUI. We are waiting to see the results. But the actual IUI procedure was done by another doctor in the practice who was fantastic. Great experience. We feel heard and we feel this was the appropriate protocol for the moment.

$1200 self pay for an IUI cycle. $250 for consultation.

After 18 months with my OB including PCOS, 5 negative cycles with Femara, and a laparoscopy to remove severe endometriosis, I finally saw Dr. Straub. He was no nonsense which I appreciated. He outlined why IUIs would not work for us and we're on the same page to move forward with IVF. I thought it was great that he recognized we should pursue frozen transfers. I've felt comfortable asking direct questions and getting a clear answer. While I did a ton of research prior to seeing Dr. Straub, my husband did not and he felt Dr. Straub did a good job of explaining our issues, potential courses of treatment, why he recommends IVF, and how it would work. Dr. Straub is visual and lays it all out on paper for you. When he feels like the conversation gets de-railed, he brought it back. I'm a structure person and he seems to be as well so that works out.

Know your health history. Ask direct questions. While the process can be very emotional, go in to appointments with the goal of answers and plans.

Dr. Straub was very clear to recommend a single embryo transfer for my age and first IVF cycle.

I have a long history with Dr. Straub and from the very beginning I have had an amazing experience with him. He takes time to really make sure you understand everything he is going over. He has a habit of drawing pictures to help demonstrate exactly what he is talking about. When I experienced a ruptured ectopic pregnancy he gave me his personal cell phone number and fought with the ER staff on my behalf to make sure I had the best possible care and in order to have me transferred to a hospital that he worked with. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Straub.

Bring your questions. He has no trouble answering them, no matter how crazy they might be. He actually asked me one time what other crazy wives tales are going around in the infertility community.

I do not remember all the specifics in protocol.

As a young, otherwise healthy woman, Dr. Straub was conservative with the amount of embryos he wanted to transfer. He always suggested one but allowed my husband and I to make the final decision on whether or not we wanted to transfer 1 or 2. Both of my kids were conceived from a single embryo transfer.

I didn’t see Dr Straub as much as I saw his nurse and nurse practitioner. The office always answered my calls and called me back in a timely manner. I did experience an ectopic pregnancy while under his care and his office was very sensitive about the situation. I loved the ultrasound tech, she always made me feel relaxed.

Do not hesitate to make an appointment and get started. Wish I had started sooner. 2/3 cycles ended up with a positive pregnancy test.

He believes I doing all baseline testing then coming up with a personalized plan. We started with clomid as I have PCOS. We did 2 cycles of monitored clomid, I had an ectopic then we moved on to femara. I am currently pregnant from my femara cycle.

Around $1000 per clomid/femara cycle including a trigger shot.

He was very direct and explained every option and the rates at which each option would work. He gave us 3 different options and told us which one would work best if we wanted to conceive. He advised us to see a counselor as well to make sure we were on the correct path.

If you want a doctor who is blunt ans direct and will not sugar coat anything he is the guy.

We have not started IVF with donar eggs yet.

Our estimate is around $25,000-$30,000

N/A

As a patient I felt comfortable talking with him about everything, he was very knowledgeable and didn't try to make us spend unnecessary money. He's very up front and honest about everything. Great bedside manner.

Be honest about health history

It was an insane amount of medications, and shots,lupron, baby aspirin, estrogen, progesterone.

It was somewhere around 4thousand

He thought I was young enough to just transfer one and he was right

He was very good at explaining things. Very nice doctor and straightforward without being harsh. We liked how he drew things out to explain and answered all our questions. He wasn’t outwardly expressing that he was empathetic, but he also wasn’t showing that he had no empathy, he just acts more professional to fix the issue.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, he will answer and explain well if you are confused or need more information.

We had an initial appointment where he explained thoroughly what can cause infertility and the course of actions that can come from it. I went through bloodwork and an HSG test to make sure my tubes etc. we’re not blocked. My husband went through several sperm tests as well as bloodwork. He came back low each time, low enough that IUI seamed to not be favorable. He was recommended to a urologist to try to get an answer on why his sperm results were not ideal and try to fix the issue to try IUI.

I don’t remember exactly, but $100-250 range for consultations. A few hundred for HSG testing.

No

I felt like Dr. Straub was very open and upfront regarding our testing results and options available to us. As we moved through different treatment options, we were able to meet with Dr. Straub for guidance.

Be prepared for a very upfront approach to treatment options and probabilities, but this was very helpful for me and my husband.

He is a very hard man to work with. Not a lot of compassion, but he did do good work with my first IVF cycle. When I lost the baby the 2nd cycle…he never even called. I’m 42,000 in debt and he never even called.

It’s really really hard. Call someone who has worked with him before.

I did IVF twice. So happy I have one child! Grateful for that….but was RBA a great experience….no.

$50,000

I wish I would have done 2 embryo transfer.

Dr Toledo has been great to work with so far. I was so sad my original doctor left the office but he picked up right where she left off and it means alot . He was very direct but still warm with some very hard conversations

You are in good hands

I was dealing with a number of issues ‘male fertility, low egg reserve , uterine fiboriids, blocked fallapian tubes and a uterine polyp. I used lupon and gonal for 14 days and then did an egg retervial . We were able to get 9 eggs. I had 5 embryos , two survived and I opted to do genetic testing. We ended up with one healthy embryo and I am waiting to do a polyp removal then transfer

Dr. Massey saw my husband & I for an IVF Consultation. He connected with my husband & I with some interpersonal conversation that made us feel comfortable. He did a good job of explaining the types of tests that would needed in order to proceed with the process. He did a good job of explaining what the process of IVF would entail. My husband & I are not into pharmaceuticals & strong fertility medication, so I wanted to work with Dr. Massey I’m adjusting the doses of medicine to make it more of a mini-IVF procedure. He was open to the idea and explained that the final protocol would be dependent on the testing results. I was clear that we had to take some tests before we would know how to proceed, but I wasn’t sure about what to expect after the test results came in. Overall, I was pleased with the level of knowledge & experience Dr. Massey has & was confident that he was open to “co-piloting” the procedure with my husband & I.

I would say, explain to Dr. Massey what you want, what your concerns are, what you are hoping for, lay it all out on the table & then be open to his feedback, advise & suggestions because he is very knowledgeable & willing to work with his patients.

We only had a consultation & testing to determine the best protocol.

Dr. Massey’s prices are some of the most affordable in Atlanta. I believe his cost to perform the IVF procedure is somewhere around $995. That does not include, of course, anesthesia & the meds, those are relatively affordable as well at around $450 & $3000-$5000 respectively. There are separate lab fees depending on what types of lab tests are ordered. All in all, it’s possible for the bill to total close to $15,000 for the entire procedure.

Dr. Massey strongly recommended transferring only one embryo in my case, as my issue is tubal blockage. He felt that a multiple embryo transfer would almost certainly result in twins & all the potential risks that come with a multiples pregnancy. I totally agreed with his assessment.

We cant put into words how thankful we are to Dr. Massey and his team at Servy & Massey Institute for all they have done for us to make our dreams of parenthood come true. Since the moment we walked in and we had our first appointment we were like: Yes!! Thank God, after all these years we finally found our doctor. Servy & Massey Institute is not this masive practice where people wont ever recognize you let alone remember you and your problems. We knew in our hearts a place like that was not the right fit for us. Infertility is a very personal journey and we felt right at home at Servy Massey Fertility Clinic because we were surrounded by people that really cared about us. CARE is something you will find here but also HOPE. Dr Massey was always so confident about going against all the odds we’ve had in our way to build our family. I will never forget his words: “ok, aint gonna be easy BUT we are gonna make it happen” those words were music to our ears. Infertility sucks (we all know that!) and certainly theres nothing else you want to hear than there's hope and there's always a way to make it happen... sure thing Dr Massey was our hope to believe in and the light at the end of the tunnel to look for...and that LIGHT is one that we will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be thankful for... THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to our beloved Dr. Massey, my sweet Dawn and Cecy, Ingrid and all the team at Servy & Massey.

IVF - Frozen 5 days ET

Our treatment was expensive and we knew it was going to be. However price was similar to RBA

Single embryo transfer

Dr. Massey is a great doctor. He is very knowledgeable on IVF and the processes. He has been doing this for a long time and seems to have dealt with a lot of different issues and scenarios. He was one of the founders of RBA in Atlanta (one of the biggest fertility clinics in GA). He left to open this practice with Dr. Servy to make it more possible for everyone to have a family at a lower cost. Although it is still quite expensive, we are glad we chose Dr. Massey and his team. We are still in the process of doing everything, so I will have more to add later. In all of our experiences so far, the only thing seemingly negative I would say is that he doesn't go into a whole lot of detail until you ask the questions. Luckily my husband and I are quite the "question askers".

I definitely think you should meet with him and pay the money for the first consultation. We saw another doctor before Dr. Massey and with it being a much bigger clinic, I felt more like a number. I think it's great to see several doctors and get multiple opinions before deciding on "the one". We had friends that highly recommended him after being unsuccessful at another clinic. He is highly knowledgeable since he has been in the business for so long and that's one of the best things for me to know.

Since we just started seeing Dr. Massey at the end of November I haven't done any of the treatments or medications yet. He did have me in for an ultrasound twice (once in December and again in January) to confirm that I had either a polyp or fibroids in my uterus. He told us how this could effect treatment if we started IVF before having these removed/taken care of. I am glad that he had a look twice (and only charged me once) for his benefit to make sure I had the proper diagnosis.

Initial consultation was $250. Depending on insurance certain ultrasounds/testing was covered. $8,810 is the cost of IVF with a 6 month embryo freeze. $3,000 for genetic testing for 8 embryos, $250 for each additional embryo tested (which we have to do because of my chromosomal abnormality). $2,000 for initial medications (from overseas) more to come after egg transfer (roughly another $750). If we received medications from the U.S. it could range from $3,000 to $6,000.

Dr. Massey suggested that we only do a single embryo transfer. He advised that it would be healthier for me and for the baby with less complications during birth. He and the nurse did tell me that if the one embryo did not take the first go around and we had more frozen then we could do two embryos for a frozen embryo transfer (FET).

Dr. Massey is described in my eyes as hope. We have been to one other doctor at another clinic and were basically told that my husband was perfect and I was the issue. I cried for two days and felt like the lowest person on earth. The one thing that your body is suppose to do as a woman I’m not doing at all. But when we were referred to Dr. Massey by my OBGYN it was like a breath of fresh air. He is always honest with us, he takes his time and treats you like you actually matter instead of just another form of compensation. I would say I am a very inquisitive patient and you have to take extra a time with me because this is my first rodeo and I want and Ned to know EVERYTHING. I even record and write down everything so I do not mess up or get confused. With that being said Dr. Massey has never once been frustrated with me or passed me to another doctor for fear of how long he would have to spend with me. I honestly appreciate that. I just want to carry my own child and finally become a mom. It doesn’t sound like much but over the last 4 years I have discovered it actually takes a lot more than I could ever dream.

Ask ask ask....... they will tell you everything that you need to know and also what’s happening next.

I’m currently still undergoing treatment and I have done so many test it’s impossible to encounter every detail but I will list the ones below..... The salt water test I had to complete twice and during these procedures I had to take citotec because my cervix refused to open. They also had to do shots to my cervix to make it dilate which were horrible. I have not retrieved any eggs yet taking injectables is what stage I am in right now. I pray everything works out so that I can go to egg retrieval.

I can’t remember because some we’re done under a different doctor at another clinic before transferring to Dr. Massey.

My experiences with Dr. Massey were always positive. He took his time talking to my husband and I and explained everything. We appreciated the fact that after reviewing our file, he didn't automatically sell us a pipe dream of being able to get us pregnant, but rather gave us a reassuring notion that based on the present information it was possible.

The pharmacy that they most often use is not in house. Therefore, a completely different nurse outside of the clinic goes over the procedures for each medication. So I would recommend asking as many questions about your prescribed medications as possible.

I don't recall the strategy used but the medications that I were prescribed were Lurpon, Gonal-F, HCG, Endometrium, Progesterone

IVF Cycle with ICSI-$8,810 Frozen Embryo Transfer-$3,425 Medication-$3,000

Dr. Massey suggested that due to my age and concerns over multiples that we only transfer a single embryo. He did giver us the option of transferring two but we agreed with his rationale.

Dr. Massey is kind and he gave me plenty of time. I never felt rushed with him. He was present for all of my monitoring appointments. However, he is not great at communicating. I did not always feel like my questions were thoroughly answered. I did a LOT of research on my own. If I had not asked specific questions I am not sure that I would have been provided much of any information at all.

Do your own research and be prepared to ask questions related to your protocol, your plan, what to expect, what he thinks your likelihood of success is and WHY he thinks that your success may be better/worse than the average. Dr. Massey will answer all of your questions and he will explain things to you with patience, but you have to know what to ask in the first place. If you don't ask you are unlikely to be told.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis following a laparoscopy to determine the cause of our infertility. We also have male factor infertility though my husband's numbers were not low enough to fully explain our inability to conceive. My AHA was 1.5 which was low for my age (31). My sonohystagram did not show many follicles during a natural cycle. All of our issues combined led Dr. Massey to recommend ICSI. Going in I was told that he did not expect me to respond very well to the stimulation medications due to the lower AMH and the endo. I was told from the start that it was unlikely that I would produce enough viable embryos to have a frozen cycle. I was put on relatively high doses of the drugs due to the expectation of a low response. I took 225 Gonal-f and 1cc of Menopur each day along with .5 units of Lupron. I triggered with Ovidrel on the 10th day of meds. I did produce 11-12 follicles and I think that I responded much better than initially expected. My estrogen level was at 4000 on trigger day. Dr. Massey retrieved 6 mature eggs on ER day. Four fertilized successfully with ICSI. Unfortunately 3 of the 4 arrested before day 3 and our fourth also stopped maturing before it made it to day 4. At our post IVF consult we were advised that the embryo qualify was likely poor due to the rapid stimulation. I was given high doses due to the expectation that I would not respond well, but I did respond OK and it is possible that the eggs were fragile due to the drug protocol. I don't think that could have been helped. The protocol was chosen based on the parameters the Dr. had to work with. I guess I had an atypical response. The plan for cycle 2 is to do lower doses of the drugs over a longer stimulation phase to try and produce more hearty eggs.

Dr. Massey offers low-cost IVF. It is the reason that we went with this clinic over others whose services may have been rated higher. IVF/ICSI is $7,725.00. That includes all blood work, monitoring, retrieval and transfer. Pre-screening tests and blood work are also available at a reduced rate if your insurance won't cover those procedures. Dr. Massey's office was able to get me a reduced rate on the genetic testing for me and my husband. My total out of pocket expenses for my fresh cycle (including pre-screening blood work, sonohystagram, IVF cycle, cryopreservation, and medication) was right at $14,000.

We were initially told at consultation that Dr. Massey would go with eSET. The goal was a healthy singleton and that he wanted to avoid multiples. However, given our circumstances it had been his intention to transfer two if we had multiple day fives available. He changed his approach to give us the best chance of conceiving. I greatly appreciated it. We were not "multiple averse." We would have welcomed twins or triplets if he had transferred multiples and they all took. Unfortunately, we didn't even have one decent day 5 to transfer. I think that Dr. Massey is very willing to alter his cycle/transfer plans to give the couple the best possible chance of conceiving.

My first appointment with Dr. Massey was done by phone and I had him explain everything 2 or 3 times and he didn't get frustrated but was patient with my questions. He also showed compassion when we did an embryo transfer that didn't work and gave us hope for the future. He has many patients but when he is with you it feels like he doesn't have very many because he focuses so much on each individual situation.

Be open and honest and ask all the questions you have.

I had seen several fertility doctors before Dr. Massey. I felt like every time I started seeing a new one they would want to start from the beginning. When I called Dr. Massey, he built on what had already been done. He started us off with a round of IVF. I can't remember all the medicine I took specifically but it worked. We got pregnant from the fresh round with one baby after transferring two embryos. The 2nd transfer we did only 1 embryo and it did not work. The 3rd transfer we transferred the last two embryos and I am currently pregnant with one.

Oh I can't recall the exact amount for a round of IVF. I believe it was between $7,000 and $8,000. Then the cost of the medication. It's expensive but more affordable than other places. The care is top notch though. The embryo transfers were quite a bit less and there wasn't as much medicine to buy. The transfers were around $4000, I believe.

We are beyond grateful for Dr Massey and his team and their exceptional care. With PCOS and trying for more than a year to conceive we went to Dr Massey’s clinic with dampened hopes. We did five IUI’s, one fresh IVF cycle which ended up in a miscarriage and finally, a frozen cycle that took and have a beautiful baby boy now. Throughout our difficult journey, they offered us the most cost effective, compassionate and quality care. Compared to other practices in the Atlanta area, Servy Massey Institute strives to offer the best cost options. Infertility treatments are expensive and our insurance covered only limited portions of the care and hence we really appreciated the options available. They do see a considerable number of patients, but managed to keep a family atmosphere and offer personalized care. I can count the number of times we had to wait more than 30 minutes at my appointments. Everyone in the practice were so compassionate and empathetic, it made this tough ordeal much more bearable. We are especially thankful for our positive experiences with Dr Massey, Dr Dourron, Dawn, Cecilia, lab staff and others at the clinic--without which we would have given up easily. Dr Massey discussed all options with us and always recommended the best course of action and kept our hopes up. Don’t expect the typical doctor’s office experience as he may also seem a little unconventional--but it’s hard to beat his experience and knowledge. Our brief interactions with the staff at the Augusta clinic was also overwhelmingly positive. With our first IVF cycle ending up in a miscarriage, we were extra cautious with the frozen cycle. And every time I freaked out about bleeding or other issues, they were empathetic and monitored with regular ultrasounds and check ups. Finally, when I transferred to OBGYN care, Dr Massey personally wrote a letter to my OB explaining my medical history and treatments done so far--this was hugely appreciated by us as well as my OB. The quality of care is superlative and I have no hesitation in recommending this practice to anyone who is looking for affordable, compassionate and excellent fertility treatment.

He may seem a little unorthodox and an odd sense of humor--but we enjoyed it as it did help us destress

IUI- 5 Fresh IVF Cycle Frozen IVF Cycle Ovidrel and progesterone shots

It was cost effective especially as insurance didnt cover all portions of the treatment cost

They certainly did not explain all of the out of pocket costs. It was supposed to be around 9000 but we ended up paying 14,000 out of pocket for extra tests, procedures and medications etc. That definitely presents stress when you are halfway through all of the procedures, it's not like you can just stop. That was disappointing

Ask all of your questions. Do not feel rushed to move forward until you know the total cost and what is going to take place. Other than that I only did one round of IVF here. It was my first IVF procedure so I was so green to this arena. I had lots of research and experience in natural, diet protocols, IUI, acupuncture etc

Regular, shots, estrogen pills, testosterone creams and progesterone

I believe I paid around 14000 for this procedure and all meds and separate tests performed for the transfer

he was willing to put in two. I only had one make it

Dr. Massey has a warm and caring demeanor. He explains everything to you in detail and you never feel like you have to rush (I.e., I never felt like the clock was ticking because the next 10 patients are waiting for him.) No question was ever a dumb question so I always felt comfortable communicating with him. I could talk to him about anything. We talked realistically about the numbers and the statistics behind the different options. It was through these discussions that ultimately, we decided that using donor eggs made the most sense. Bottom line Dr. Masse is a fantastic doctor and a remarkable human being.

If you are looking for one of those places that is fancy and has all the "glitz" and "glamour" (e.g., luxurious waiting room or spa-like atmosphere) then you do not want to go to him.

Dr.Massey looked for polyps and any irregularities in my womb (vaginal ultrasound; and also performed a Sonohysterogram. The medicine protocol was the following:ESTRACE 2mg # 30 BRAVELLE 75 IU # 54 vials MENOPUR 75 IU # 10 LUPRON 2 WEEK KIT # 1 DEXAMETHASONE 0.5MG # 10 OVIDREL 250 MCG # 1 VALIUM 5 MG # 1 ENDOMETRIUM 100MG # 28 inserts PRENATAL VITAMINS ASPIRIN 81MG

I believe between all the meds and the procedures all-in was $18K.

Dr. Massey fully informed my husband and I of the risks of the multiple embryo transfer. Each time we did the procedure we were confident about the number we chose.

Dr. Massey is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. He stays up-to-date on the latest research and clearly cares very deeply about helping his patients. He tends to save IVF for situations that clearly need it - we were ready to move on from IUIs to IVF, and he recommended that we continue with IUIs for several more cycles, and that next IUI was successful, so he saved us quite a large amount of money.

Dr. Massey has an odd sense of humor - he likes to joke and say things no one else would say during the various procedures. It thoroughly entertained my husband and me, but it does help to know that about him going in.

During our IUI cycles, I was treated with Femara and then an Ovidrel trigger shot. During our successful IUI, I was also placed on Metformin (although I wasn't insulin resistant). Two inseminations were performed, each with an injection of ocytocin, followed by two weeks of progesterone suppositories.

Each IUI cycle was ~$1200. Prior to IUI cycles, when we were doing timed cycles with medication, each ultrasound was billed individually through our insurance.
