Beverly Reed

I came to Dr. Reed not super thrilled about seeing a fertility doctor. I had 2 kids that I got pregnant with with the help of some medications my OB/gyn prescribed. But this time the infertility was longer and I continued to have early miscarriages. So I took a leap and made an appointment with Dr. Reed. It was the best decision I've ever made! Dr. Reed is such a kind and compassionate doctor. She's smart and thinks outside the box. She doesn't group you with every other patient, but instead gives you an individual plan for you as a woman, and not what "usually" works. I found that is how so many offices in the DFW area worked- you are just a number- and I felt like I was part of a cattle call. Yall, this doctor is a GEM!! I had been seeing my ob gyn (who I love dearly) but infertility sucks and is so emotional. My Ob-gyn didn't provide me the same support Dr. Reed and her staff did and I'm so incredibly thankful for Dr. Reed and Eden. Dr Reed spent a lot of time at each appointment talking to me and reassuring me. I have only known her about a year now, but I feel like she's a friend. She never talks down to you. She's respectful of your wishes and desires. If I had a question (which I always did), she always made sure I understood. She is a busy person, but never made me feel rushed. And I love she didn't order a bunch of unnecessary tests. You can tell she's in it because she loves her job and wants to help everyone get their dream of holding a baby! One thing I will say is Dr. Reed is so incredibly nice so I wasnt sure if she is too nice to tell it like it is. Well I quickly found out she is very nice but also VERY honest. If she doesnt think something will work, she will tell you. And I loved that about her! Also, another thing I love about this office is Dr Reed does all her own sonograms. She was the only doctor of the 4 I interviewed that performed her own sonograms. And you get to see HER at each appointment. If you're just starting on the infertility journey, let me tell you: This is HUGE!! I needed to know immediately what everything meant vs waiting for a doctor to review the sonograms at the end of the day and then you hear from a nurse what you're supposed to do. I am an anxious person and I needed the personalized care and attention Dr. Reed gave to me!

Ask questions! She will answer them to the best of her knowledge! Tell her how you're feeling- she will also help you with that. I am/was a very anxious person and she would go out of her way to make me feel less anxious.

menopur, clomid, trigger shot. I was a slow responder so she had me stim a few extra days, which I think added to my success

If you look on their website, they are very transparent with their costs. There are no added fees. You get what is posted. And I loved that! I think I paid around $10,800 for the clinic (not including meds). They have a global fee. I believe their prices went up recently, but it allows unlimited transfers for a year, which is a huge perk!

I believe she prefers one if its genetically tested. I'm a NICU nurse and I 100% agree transferring one is the best for the mom and baby. I've seen too many people pregnant with twins that deliver at 23 or 24 weeks. It's so much work to get to be pregnant, why risk it with multiples if you can help it?

Dr. Reed was both up front and delicate when talking strategy with me. As a single mother by choice, this is something that is difficult already but doing it alone you need lots of guidance and someone who will provide you with all the information. I felt valued by her and her staff and that I was not just a number coming and going.

Ask questions. No question is dumb. The more you learn the more you are able to understand your body.

For the first IUI with Dr. Reed, she decided to try letrozole (7.5 mg for 5 days) and a steroid (10 days). We got 2 follicles, which is exactly what we wanted. The second IUI we upped the letrozole to 10mg for 5 days and did the steroid for 10. We also performed an HSO test to check my uterus to make sure there were no fibroids or anything blocking the egg implanting. We got another 2 follicles but faster. Currently waiting to see if I got the BFP.

Without Insurance: Transvaginal Ultrasounds $150 HSO Procedure $250 IUI $260

Dr. Reed gave me hope when nobody else had before. I was seeing a doctor in the city where I live who performed every infertility cause test and did one IUI on me. He never had an answer, nor did I feel like he cared. He acted like "just keep trying." But I knew deep down that something was wrong. I picked Dr. Reed after studying nearly all of the fertility doctors in the Dallas area. I had high hopes that she would be the one, and she proved me right during our first tele visit. She was confident from the start she knew what my problem was, and then during our first sonogram where she found one of my ovaries wasn't producing well (I had had other sonograms, but nobody pointed this out) she knew what the exact answer was. Her confidence and optimism were priceless and such a relief to my husband and I.

Do not wait to go see a fertility doctor. I kept waiting because people told me "oh, it'll happen". I knew deep down something was wrong, and I wish I'd gone to Dr. Reed even sooner. Just go!

After finding I had low reserve, Dr. Reed was confident we could achieve pregnancy with an IUI. She put me on 250mg of Clomid, I did a trigger shot 24 hours before the IUI procedure, and have followed up with taking progesterone vaginally every night since.

It cost $180 to schedule my initial consultation. $150 for my first appointment with her, where I had a sonogram. $33 for my Clomid and $107 for my trigger shot. $250 for my HSO test (2nd visit). $150 for my third visit with a sonogram. $140 for my 4th visit and IUI. $120 to their lab for the semen washing. $107 for progesterone to last till my 11th week. Finally $150 for my final visit, a sonogram at 8 weeks.

Doctor Reed was very nice and always listened. However when it came to talking about the results of the day or treatment she did it at a table in the hallway so that any of the nurses there or other patients walking by could hear and that was somewhat uncomfortable and sometimes felt rushed.

You will not get a explanation of why you are given each medication so be prepared to ask. They will tell you but you really need to ask In order to get it.

The protocol i was given was Lipton for 2 -3 weeks, then I added 300 of gonal f and menaupor. They increased my menoupor after a week to double as I was “slow”. I took 1 week of antibiotics before the retrieval and an hcg 10000 trigger shot. My transfer was put on hold due to Covid19. There was no explanation of what each medication was however I was given individual instructions on how to take the medications.

Doctor Reeds office gives a global fee paid up front of $8500 plus the cost of medication. There were some additional testing costs that were explained up front. Dr Reed did her best to get medications at the best price by using multiple pharmacies and proving me with links to prescription grants/discounts. Total cost of medication came out to around $4500

Doctor Reed strongly advices single embryo transfer but has stated that if I was felt strongly and my partner did as well she would transfer 2.

Dr. Reed is very kind and has lots of enthusiasm and energy. She’s a very positive RE. We absolutely loved her attitude and had high hopes of success. We would choose Dr. Reed again! She has great bedside manner and is great at calming her patients with her sweet attitude.

Make sure to ask questions.

Estrogen priming for a week before cycle instead of birth control. I only have 1 ovary (but great AFC) so we started Stims with 150 FSH and 75 menotropins. My follicles were slow to grow so we upped to 300 FSH and 150 menotropins. On day 8 we added cetrotide. I stimmed for 15 days and feel it was too long. At egg retrieval I had over 14 follicles 15-24mm in size, but only 2 eggs retrieved even after flushing. One egg was polyploid and dark. The embryo created with the good egg was a perfect 2 day Grade A transferred on day 2. Negative results. No eggs or money left to try again. Our results blew us all away because they were so poor. All tests showed great follicles, etc. very saddened and upon review I personally feel my eggs may have been affected by the long Stim time, but Dr. Reed thinks it may be poor egg quality. I naturally conceived 2 living children and twice within the year before my ectopic pregnancy (9-23-19) took my only Fallopian tube, so I don’t believe I have poor egg quality.

$8500 Global Fee including 1 year of freezing (we had no eggs to freeze) $3000 medications $500 labs, etc. $500 anesthesia

I wish we could transfer multiples, but we didn’t have the option as only 1 embryo was created.

Dr.Reed was over all very helpful and amazing. From the first day I had a consultation with Dr.Reed she made me feel welcome she made me feel like it’s okay to not be able to conceive the natural way that I wasn’t the only one who struggles with trying to conceive. She walked me through every step of the procedure she made me feel her and her nurses are very educated and know what they are doing. She was really straight forward with me but at the same time was still sensitive to my feelings and could understand how I was feeling. When it was time to actually start the procedure she made me feel that everything was going to be okay she would guide me through what ever she was doing to my body that I couldn’t see. Her office was also very clean and neat I felt very comfortable being at her office knowing there aren’t any bugs or things just out in the open.

Whether good or bad news Dr.Reed will always make you feel comfortable and warm and clear up and confusion so no need to be nervous about anything .

I was on 50 mg of clomid to make my eggs bigger, and I was also on a medication for the hsg process or die test is another word used for hsg it that medication just was to help proven me from catching anything from the die test .

Dr Reed and her staff have always been very attentive and followed up with me during my treatment. They checked how I was doing and responded to my calls and emails in timely manner. Dr Reed is a compassionate and wants you to succceed. She is also considerate of the treatments and tests you want to try and willing to do them for your peace of mind. Dr Reed does the ultrasounds, retrieval’s and transfers herself and I like this approach.

I would advise to have a list of questions and have a thorough discussion during your initial consultation. This Dr has an open mind.

We did an estrogen priming protocol to prepare my ovaries for a stimulation and retrieval cycle.

We paid about $12,500 for a complete IVF cycle with ICSI and PGS testing. Part of those fees were charged by the embryo testing lab.

The Dr prefers to do eSET for PGS tested embryos.

Dr. Beverly always receives me with a smile and asking how I feel which makes me feel comfortable and I’m able to speak freely about my feelings and concerns. She is always looking forward to the next step and always has a plan B in case something doesn’t go well.

Always express your concerns and nobody knows your body more than you, so if you know something doesn’t work for you, explain and feel free to suggest an alternative method that works better for you.

In my first cycle with Dr Beverly, I tried Clomid after using Letrozole for four cycles. Clomid didn’t work for me so I went back to Letrozole with the highest dosage, which I ended up having better results than Clomid.

She seem knowledgeable and was nice. She changed the treatment for each IUI cycle. Unfortunately they were not successful. She explained everything. I saw her at every visit. She did the monitoring ultrasounds herself. She wrote down the medication schedule herself.

N/A

One clomid cycle. One femara cycle I believe it was called. Then a cycle that was a combo of both.

$500-$800 per cycle I believe? We paid everything out of pocket.
