Tennessee Fertility Institute (Prelude Network clinic)

He was thorough at every step of the process and always explained what to expect, as well as the risks. Dr. Montville has a warm, compassionate manner, and genuinely cares for each of his patients, which made our fertility struggle easier.

What works for one person may not work for another. Don't be afraid to adjust course and be your own advocate! No one knows your body like you do.

I had 2 cycles with Dr. Montville; one was with Letrozole + timed intercourse, and another was with Letrozole + IUI. I had a chemical pregnancy/miscarriage with the first cycle and became pregnant with the IUI.

I saw Dr.Montville and absolutely loved him! We drove 2 hours and 45 min each appointment just because we trusted him more than any of the other doctors we met with prior to deciding who we wanted to pursue our IVF journey with. He is upfront and honest which is always my preference. He takes time to explain everything and is genuine about the care he gives to his patients. The staff was great as well. They respond quickly and give your lab results in a couple hours after the appointment. They are quick and efficient. I would recommend Tennessee Fertility Institute to anyone needing reproductive assistance.

Medicines cost about $2900. Ivf freeze all with ICSI and transfer was $13,000 PGT was $5500

Dr. Montville is newer to this practice, and I prefer him over the doctor who I saw previously (Dr. Donna Session). I didn't feel that Dr. Session had adequate listening skills, and she didn't educate me on the procedures or conditions as much as I would have liked. Dr. Montville's interactions with us have been much more thorough and tailored to what we want to know and do.

I would advise them to be prepared to implement treatment right away rather than spending a considerable amount of time thinking through what you want to do. Dr. Montville and his staff are very ready to start treatment immediately, and if you're not sure you're ready to move forward, you could feel somewhat rushed to make a decision.

I used letrozole with timed intercourse for 2-3 cycles with no pregnancies resulting from it. I then went on several months of norethindrone to keep my endometriosis symptoms suppressed while we figured out next steps. I then took letrozole, used an HSG trigger shot, and had an IUI with my husband's sperm. This did not result in a positive pregnancy.

The IUI was $1200, and the medications were about $70-$140 depending on the dosage.

I have not been educated about this approach.

Dr.Montville is absolutely amazing. From the initial consult to the testing in clinic, i couldnt ask for a better doctor. He is so down to earth, compassionate and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. You arent just a number when you go in. I went in super nervous but he made it comfortable.

Ive done 3 cycles of clomid/letrozole. One with fsh injections. Havent received a positive test yet but ive had a good response each time.

Dr. Montville is the best fertility doctor we have had since we stated this journey in 2019 and his nurse Kelly is amazing! we are big on communication and just needing to be more involved with our care behind the scenes this clinic went above and beyond

Book now! if you are considering transferring clinics don't wait do it now

We will transfer one embryo with me having the history of preterm labor

Dr. Montville is easily accessible and explained everything to me in detail. I received an update on a calendar so I knew when to start taking femara and when to us LH test strips as well as when to call.

We were planning on trying IUI but I had to call it off after ovulation day had some meetings rescheduled at work so I couldn't get away. I took femara for a few days and tested LH daily with urine test strips. I didn't have any side effects from femara.

IUI is 2,000 but I had to get an HSG prior and various tests. The total of those with office visits factored in was about $1000.

We have been going to Tennessee Fertility Institute and Dr. Montville for 11 months. Prior to this, we tried several YEARS to get pregnant. Dr. Montville or one of the other physicians is on-call doctor 24-7 for questions or concerns. He answered any and all of my questions in a reasonable amount of time. Even if he was running behind schedule, we never felt rushed during our appointment time. We did 1 round of IVF. 31 eggs were retrieved, 19 were mature, 14 fertilized, 6 made it to day 5 embryos, and we had them PGT tested. 3 were normal, 1 inconclusive, and 2 abnormal. I have PCOS and my husband has male factor infertility, so we were very pleased with these numbers. The first embryo transfer didn’t take. I was devastated. Dr. Montville called me himself and we discussed the next steps. He tried a different protocol the next time and it worked. I’m so thankful we found Dr. Montville! We will be back to use our next embryo in a year or two, and we will absolutely use Dr. Montville again!

If you have questions-ask. Nothing is too small or too insignificant. If you can’t remember your questions as soon as you walk into the office, write them down as you think of them in the days leading up to your appointment. I promise he will make the time.

For the egg retrieval, I know we used Ganirelix, Menopur, and Follistim. I don’t remember the dosages. I do remember when I was getting close to triggering, Dr. Montville came in on a Saturday and did an ultrasound to make sure we didn’t miss our window. For the first frozen embryo transfer, we used estradiol and progesterone. For the second, we did Lupron for a couple weeks prior to the embryo transfer. We still used estradiol and progesterone.

My egg retrieval costed around $11,000. My meds for my egg retrieval were around $3500. My PGT testing was $5800. Anesthesia bill for the egg retrieval was $600. Labs are outsourced to PathGroup and were about $450 if I remember correctly. There are several “little” bills, but they were all described to me in detail by their office manager, Teresa. She ran out insurance and told us what we would be expected to pay and when. The clinic was very transparent about the fees.

We did PGT testing on our embryos and I cannot recommend that enough. 2 of our embryos had either too many or not enough chromosomes so they wouldn’t have survived. They would have been a waste of money and taken an emotional toll to use those embryos as transfers when they couldn’t possibly survive. The clinic does not do multiple embryo transfers as far as I’m aware. When they do the assisted hatching or ICSI, it already has an increased risk of multiples. Multiple embryos could be dangerous for mom and babies!

During consultation he exceeded my expectations. I tried not to have my hopes up because sometimes the first doctor isn’t always a good fit, but thankfully he was. He did a great job reading me and understanding my situation and the way I needed the information presented. I don’t like sugar coating but I do want someone with a calming and caring approach. He met all of that. Very straightforward and great at explaining but also genuinely cared.

Go for the consultation and see if he is a good match. You won’t really know until you meet with him and his staff.

We have not started any treatments or cycles yet but are planned for IUI next month with medication and trigger shot.

In comparison to other facilities in the area that I researched and spoke with, all of our costs at TFI were clearly explained to us and within the normal pricing of the area clinics. Some costs were even less than other clinics. And honestly, I have been to another clinic in the area for a semen analysis for my husband- I would even be willing to pay higher prices to come here and be treated like a person and cared for rather than that other local facility.

Just like I said in a previous section, Dr. Montville is such an amazing, warm, understanding, kind, and compassionate doctor! He was the very first of the 3 fertility specialist I’ve seen who truly made us feel like human!

For my egg retrieval, Dr. Montville put me on Manopur, gonal-f, cetrotide, novarel, and progesterone injections. They resulted in 4 eggs total retrieved and 3 total embryos. We transferred 1 embryo after a few days, which resulted in a positive pregnant test (blood & hpt), but resulted as a chemical pregnancy.

Aside from the occasional longer wait time before an appointment, the clinic runs like an well oiled machine. Everyone knows exactly what they’re supposed to do.

My insurance doesn’t cover fertility treatments so I had to pay $12,550 up front for my egg retrieval and transfer cycle not including medications. Medications cost was around $700.00.

We were glad and understood the reason why Dr. Montville suggested we do a single transfer. He based it on my overall health and wellness, which we really appreciated.
