Matthew Will

Dr. Matthew Will is kind and compassionate. From our very first consult, which lasted over 45 minutes, he has given me the space and time to ask questions and share my concerns. He explains things in a way that makes sense to us. He obviously cares about research and experience and seems to really be a learner, which is something I respect. He's open to trying different methods based on how my body is reacting to treatments. He is thorough and wants me to be sure I know what is happening next. His bedside manner is excellent. It's clear he has many patients that he sees each day, but when he is in the room with us he is focused and attentive.

Do not be afraid to ask for consults with Dr. Will. He has encouraged me to not only stay in contact with my nurses, but also with him. I do talk to the nurses much more, but it is good to know he is available if I need him. Ask any questions you have - as he is patient to answer them and will give you as thorough of an answer that you need. He also cares about your emotional health, so don't be afraid to be vulnerable and share how you're feeling. He has done a great job of validating my fears, while at the same time helping me to stay hopeful.

I had already done bloodwork, treatment with just clomid, 3 IUIs and an HSG scan before coming to Dr. Will and was diagnosed by my OB-GYN with unexplained infertility. We had our first consult with Dr. Will about 2-3 months after we were referred to the clinic. Dr. Will looked through my medical documents and ordered his own bloodwork after our first consult. I have low AMH (.75) and my husband's labs were all normal. He then helped us to form a plan to start IVF. Within 2 months of our first consult, we started our first egg retrieval. We decided before the retrieval to do a freeze all retrieval with ICSI and PGT. Dr. Will said the PGT wasn't necessary but could be beneficial, and we chose to go ahead with it as I have good fertility benefits through work. We used Gonal-F and Menopur for stims. We added in Cetrotide for the last several days of stims and then did an HCG trigger shot after about 12 days of the stim meds. I went in for my first monitoring appointment on day 2 or 3 of my cycle and started the Menopur and Gonal-F on the 3rd day of my cycle. I started having appointments every 1-2 days around day 5 or 6 of my cycle. I would have a transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork at each monitoring appointment. Most days I would meet with a nurse and they would go over the number of follicles and their sizes. For my first retrieval cycle 14 eggs were retrieved and I ended up with one day 6 embryo that was "normal" after Genetic testing. I did a second retrieval two months later. This time, for the 6 weeks before the retrieval I took CoQ10, DHEA, and continued my Vitamin D and Prenatal Vitamin in hopes of improving egg quality. We also added oral clomid to my stims medications. The second time we retrieved 12 eggs and had 2 embryos, both of which tested normal. After the 2nd retrieval I had a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp and that went smoothly. About 6 weeks after the hysteroscopy I had my first transfer. We used lupron for possible suspected endometriosis and then did Progesterone shots and oral estradiol for a couple of weeks leading up to the transfer. The first transfer resulted in a negative pregnancy test. We now have an upcoming second transfer but this time we will do a Modified Natural Transfer. I have regular cycles and typically ovulate and don't have many symptoms of endometriosis, so we decided modified natural is worth a try and I'm excited about it! This involved more monitoring appointments than my first transfer. From days 3-14 of my cycle I had 4-5 monitoring appointments. I took 75-150 units of Menopur per night starting on day 3 of my cycle. I did an Ovidrel trigger shot on day 14 of my cycle and will transfer 1 embryo on day 21 of my cycle. I will take my pregnancy test 10 days after my transfer.

I have fertility benefits through my work, so it's hard for me to answer this question fully. I did not receive the Cash Pay information for retrievals, because everything was being billed through insurance. Dr. WIll is conscious of cost when determining protocol. I had to pay my first $2,200 for my Out of Pocket Max, but then the rest was covered, including my medications. We did pay out of pocket for part of the genetic testing and that could have been up to $3,500 depending on how many embryos you have to test. I was confused about paying for the biopsy of the embryos AND then the genetic testing. Everything to do with the lab is billed by Ovation and everything to do with the Clinic is billed directly from the clinic. I believe my retrieval meds would have been about $5,000 for one cycle. I am afraid to say how much the retrievals would be for cash pay patients. As of summer 2023, a frozen transfer would cost about $5,000 for the monitoring appointments, procedure, and lab fees and then possibly an additional $1,000 for medications for cash pay.

We had one conversation about it, but Dr. Will did mention in our first consult he typically will just transfer one embryo. Because we only have 3 embryos and they are all PGT tested, it is our preference to transfer one at a time either way.

When my husband and I decided to meet with a fertility specialist, we were extremely nervous. We had no idea what to expect coming into that first appointment. When Dr. Matthew Will walked into the consult room, our nerves went away and immediately felt comfortable. He took the time to get to know us and without writing a lot of the information down, he would remember it the next time I saw him. If we didn't fully understand test results or a procedure, he would draw it out with pictures. It may sound and look funny, but we wouldn't have understood some of the things we discussed without those drawings. After that first consult, he already had a plan in place for us. When I went in for my SIS ultrasound, he checked me on continuously throughout the procedure to ensure I was okay. And then when he gave me my results, which were upsetting, he took the time to explain them to me (including his drawings) to help me get through the bad news. But still, he had a plan in place and immediately wanted to get started. So that's what we did. Even though we've only seen in a couple of times, he's still the best choice for us. I just wish we would've learned about him sooner.

Always ask questions. No question is a stupid question and he will answer anything you ask.

We knew coming into the first consult that we couldn't afford IVF and we told Dr. Matthew Will that upfront. The SIS procedure was done to check for endometriosis. He suspected I had it based on my history and mother's history. The SIS didn't show any signs of severe endometriosis, but it was discovered that I had diminished ovarian reserve. We would have never found this out without that procedure. Due to our budget, he immediately went with a plan to do Clomid and IUI. He said he didn't want to burn through our budget and immediately go to IVF if it wasn't necessary. Due to COVID-19, we've only been able to do one IUI with the help of Clomid, but it was unsuccessful. I've done two rounds of Clomid only, but those were also unsuccessful. I am in fact ovulating, but just not implanting. From my understanding, dosage hasn't changed since I started taking Clomid.

Nothing was covered under my insurance so it was all out of pocket. Based on my particular treatments, blood work was $50-100; procedures were $200-600.

Dr. Will is incredibly personable. He does an excellent job of presenting realistic outcomes while still painting an optimistic picture overall. He also explains every process thoroughly. We trust him completely in choosing the right procedures for us. It is frustrating not to meet or speak with him every single time, but when we do get to work with him, we are always pleased with the consultations.

If you are thinking about choosing Dr. Matthew Will and are based out of Fort Wayne, consider whether or not you are willing to commute to Indianapolis on a regular basis since that is where he primarily works. He is only available in Fort Wayne on Mondays.

Dr. Will first looked for potential causes of my PCOS symptoms and determined that I likely had polyps in my uterus. Those polyps were removed eight months after we first began meeting with him. He also diagnosed my husband with male factor infertility and started him on Clomid two months after we first started working with Dr. Will. We had our first IUI with Letrozole and a trigger shot 10 months after working with him, and we are having our second IUI this month, about 11 months after our first meeting, using the same procedures as last time. We have met with Dr. Will for all of the above decisions except the latest decision to complete our second IUI using the same protocol as the first.

The initial consultation cost between $200-250. Most of our other appointments were at least partially covered by insurance before our official diagnosis of infertility. Our first and second IUI cycles cost $1,150 each.

We had the absolute best experience with Dr. Matt Will. From the consultation to the congratulatory phone call we received when we had a heart beat. IVF was incredibly hard on us, and this was our third clinic. During the time we were trying to conceive we also lost both of my parents. Dr. Will was so compassionate to everything that we were going through, not just the IVF related things. He took a customized approach to our situation and gave us the individualized care that we needed.

Don't hesitate in working with him. He is a wonderful human being.

We did micro-dose lupron in order to get the most, and best quality eggs. By far we had the best results with Dr. Will than we did our first experience. We also did a natural transfer, since the problem was not that we couldn't get pregnant (we did IVF for genetic reasons.)

I would recommend Dr. Will to anyone, not due to our result but because he was caring and empathetic the entire way. I have DOR, and we switched clinics due to our first doctor telling us that our only hope was using a donor egg after we had a failed stim cycle with my own. I was only 30 at the time, so we were not ready to go that route. In our first consultation, Dr Will was a breath of fresh air. He was very honest about our chances and never made any promises, but he gave us hope that day and throughout the process because he believed in the possibility. When our egg retrieval resulted in just one egg, we were obviously pretty devastated, but we were still able to leave the clinic that day with hope because of his words - telling us that it was not the result we want and it doesn’t look good, but that he has seen it work before. I’m not sure how we would have gotten through the rest of that day or the rest of the growth process without that glimmer. That one egg was born almost a month ago as a healthy baby girl and we couldn’t be more thankful for Dr. Will taking a chance on us. He was so supportive through the transfer process as well, and we are grateful that he recommended doing a mock transfer cycle first, as I think that helped our chances because he added one more day of progesterone for the actual transfer. He was so lighthearted and kind through those appointments and truly made us feel heard and at ease. Having to switch to my regular OB after 10 weeks was extremely bittersweet. While part of our success was maybe luck, I think having a positive mindset is absolutely important in this process, and we were able to have that because of Dr. Will.

The same advice I’d give to anyone going through ivf with any doctor - advocate for yourself and ask questions so that you are fully informed through the process.

I don’t know the name of our protocol, but the dosage of meds was pretty high. What helped me think positively during stims was something Dr. Will said in our consultation - that this protocol was not our “Hail Mary” and that there were other strategies if the first round did not work out.

The medications were the most expensive part, as well as the lab fees since it was out of our insurance network.

Dr. Matthew Will is personable, friendly and helpful; I appreciate his honest opinions. While this process isn’t enjoyable, I’ve enjoyed each procedure and consult we have had with him and he does all he can to ease my mind. While we have currently been unsuccessful, I will continue on with him as my doctor.

Dont be afraid to ask questions. He will answer honestly and if he doesn’t know the answer, he will find out and do the research.

We did 3 clomid and 2 letrozole cycles with times intercourse. 2 more letrozole cycles included gonal-f hormone injections (50 IU) with IUI. My third IUI also included gonal-f injections (50 IU). For my antagonist stims leading up to egg retrieval, I was on 200 IU of FSH and 150 IU of HMG. The FSH and HMG dropped down to 45 IU for the 4 days before egg retrieval. My ganirelix was 25 IU. Post op, I took 10mg of Provera for 10 days, 3 doses of 25IUs of ganirelix and a mix of aleve and Tylenol. I’ve done 1 unsuccessful transfer with estradiol 2mg tablets, 3 times a day with 75mg of progesterone once directed to do so. I also took a vagina probiotic once a day for 7 days prior to FET. For my ERA, I did the same estradiol and progesterone injections. They found I need 12 more hours of progesterone support for the next transfer. We did the same protocol for our second transfer which was cancelled due to lining thickness (6.4 I think it was). Currently in the process of attempting another FET, doing estradiol intramuscular injections to help with lining at 0.3 every 4 days and will increase to 0.4. PIO will start 12 hours earlier than the last to tries. Results TBD

Consults we’re roughly $95 Times intercourse with Clomid/Letrozole: $30-50? IUIs: roughly $1500-$2,000 each IUI meds: minuscule compared to everything else (gonal-f was roughly $200-$300 per pen needed) Egg retrieval not including meds in 2021: $10,000 ICSI: $1,333 Anastasia: $416 PGT Testing: $2,200 for 7 embryos Medication estimate: $4-6,500 Meds I purchased for stims: $2,000 First embryo transfer: $3900 Transfer meds: $250 Second cancelled transfer: $4,100 Transfer 2 meds: $300 Transfer 3 meds so far: $400?

We have no issues transferring one each time. Dr. Matthew Will mentioned after our failed first FET that he would be willing to try two embryos if we wanted to do so. We will be transferring one embryo in the current transfer cycle this month.

During our initial consult, he laid out clearly what each type of treatment entailed, and expectations of what could happen. He answered any and all of my questions with clarity and made the process easy to understand, and was very kind. He is easy to talk to, and made me feel heard in my concerns. I never felt pressured to do anything. He was very positive, and made sure I had all the information I needed before, during, and after procedures.

For those who are looking for a new dr, I definitely recommend doing a bit of research on your own and writing down any questions you may have. Infertility is complicated and complex, and there is no one size fits all solution. Be open and honest about any concerns you have. Matthew Will was able to answer any questions I had and made sure I had the resources I would need.

We started with having me take provera to try and jumpstart my cycle. Because of my PCOS, I rarely have a normal cycle. While the provera didn’t start it, they went ahead and got a baseline with a blood draw and ultrasound to tell me when I should start medication. I was also put on metformin, which is a common treatment for pcos. I started stims using menopur, and follistim to help stimulate my ovaries to produce eggs for retrieval. I believe there as another medication as well, I think Gonal F, used for the same thing. I went to the office about every other day for a blood draw and ultrasound to track progress, and did end up having to increase dosage of one of the medications. When I was instructed to do so, I did a Lupron and hcg trigger shot about 48 hrs before retrieval. After the retrieval, I had to continue one of the medications before stopping to help get my body back to normal. During my transfer cycle, I was placed on estrace tablets and estrogen patches to help prepare my body for the embryo transfer, and after a few days also started progesterone injections. These were taken daily until I went in for my hcg blood draw pregnancy test about 10 days after the transfer. When the test came back negative, I stopped all medication, and we planned our next steps in a post cycle consult where we planned what to do next.

The monitoring appointments were easy and usually pretty quick. I scheduled them during each visit to make sure I was able to work around my schedule. I always chose earlier morning appointments, as they were more convenient.

Our insurance covered nothing, so everything was out of pocket, unfortunately. The main costs were for the monitoring and the procedures themselves, including IVF egg retrieval and transfer. As expected, these costs were obscene, but this is normal for infertility and not unexpected. We did have to finance the cost, as it is way too expensive to just pay out of pocket.

For the first transfer, he doesn’t recommend multiple embryos, and that’s ok and understandable. If the first transfer fails, like ours did, he will discuss options pertaining to genetic testing or options for transferring more than one and also doing an ERA cycle if one hasn’t been done already. I think this is a good idea, and it may help us be prepared a bit better for our next transfer, whenever that may be.

As a patient of Dr.Will, he always took the time out to answer all of my questions. We told him we wanted to try everything we could. So we started with oral meds and worked our way up to an IUI. He drew us diagrams, to help us fully understand the course of treatment and why it was beneficial. He always listened and took our wants into consideration.

I would tell them to ask the questions. Allow Dr.Will to explain it to you, as he does a good job. Try to fully understand the why, and he will help you do that.

We started out IUI cycle with 5mg Letrozal, then we started 50Ius of Gonal F on CD5 we did 50IUs for 5 days, then he pumped it to 75IUs. After 8 days we did our trigger shot, and had our IUI 2 days later.

My injection cycle was about 1,500 then we paid about 300 for medication. My IUI was about 300 extra. So the IUI in all cost, with my extra medication, was about $2,200

Dr. Matthew Will has been very kind during our process. He has listened to all of our questions and concerns and made sure to address all of them. It is also great that he is optimistic for us growing our family but also realistic on the chances we have and he is upfront about it instead of giving us false hope. He has been the best doctor I’ve ever had.

Dr. Matthew Will is going to try every possible thing to have a great outcome. Even when you think you’ve tried everything he will be the one not to give up on your goals of having a family.

I believe I had the antagonist protocol. I used Lupron injection the night before my retrieval to avoid OHSS. I produce around 30 eggs, I don’t remember exactly, and we used ICSI and as a result we had 11 day-5 embryos. We then did a fresh transfer which resulted in a pregnancy but ended in miscarriage at 12 weeks due to Turner’s Syndrome. We had a frozen embryo transfer of 1 embryo 5 months after that which resulted in a singleton pregnancy and live birth. He is now 1 years old. We had a frozen embryo transfer a month ago which resulted in a chemical pregnancy.

I do not remember only because we were able to use insurance. I believe our first consultation was $200. The IVF retrieval and transfer facility fee was $3500 out of pocket. Our frozen embryo transfer facility fee was $350 out of pocket.

Dr. Will strongly recommended only transferring one embryo at a time. He told us the benefits and risks of both. We took his advice and we did have 1 successfully transfer/pregnancy out of 3. Since we haven’t had the best of luck, he has considered transferring 2 embryos for our next transfer.

Dr. Will is amazing. I had a different fertility doctor, but she retired in June which was right after a failed iui course. I was so distraught when my previous doctor retired because I really liked her and was so comfortable. My husband and I did our research on the other physicians in that practice and decided to go with Dr. Will. Oh my gosh, we are so glad we did. We wish we would've had him from the beginning, that's how much we liked him. He was so attentive. He reviewed our file and knew things about us prior to the initial consultation. He was so warm and welcoming. We are currently going to an ivf cycle and I feel so at peace with Dr. Will. He monitors his patients very closely. He does everything in his power to be the physician doing procedures for his patients. I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. Will. He is an angel.

Keep notes of all of your questions and concerns that you have about infertility. He will sit down and answer all of your questions, in words that you will understand. He even made drawings to explain things to us. Don't be afraid. He is seriously a saint.

1) Cycle education about 2 weeks prior to start date. 2) cycle day 1 call to inform office. Day 2 you go in for baseline labs/ultrasound. Set up appts for every day for the next week. Using gonal f and menopur. Labs and ultrasound on days 2 and 5 of cycle. The remaining labs and ultrasounds are based on lab levels, but typically every other day or every day as you get closer to retrieval. So far I have 16 follicles on my right side and 15 on my left.

Ivf was 12,641 with genetic testing and retrieval. The transfer is about 4,000. The medications are separate and you pay the pharmacy.

Dr. Will takes extra care during delicate situations. When I had a missed miscarriage he was very kind and acknowledged the disappointment we felt. He called me to make sure I knew what to expect in the coming days. I live about 1 1/2 hours from the office so he set up a phone appointment after I had a local D&C. I really appreciate those small considerations.

Make sure to ask questions, even if it seems silly. Dr. Will never makes you feel like it’s a stupid question to be asking.

I have PCOS and we were given the option of IUI or timed intercourse. We were told the overall likelihood of conception is around the same with either. We chose timed intercourse and used letrozole, Follitropin injections, and Ovidrel to stimulate ovulation once my ovarian follicles were large enough. Then we were told to have intercourse over a couple days and 2 weeks later take a home pregnancy test. The next cycle we skipped letrozole and became pregnant.

The clinic offers a “package deal” for each cycle. This includes any and all ultrasounds, labs, visits, etc.

N/A

He was really great explaining everything to us and making sure we had a full understanding of everything going on. We went to the fort wayne location so we only saw him once per cycle but when we did it was a great experience. He was very nice and blunt in the best kind of way, he made sure we were doing everything we could and would praise us and make a big deal if something went right. He never rushed and we always felt that we had all the time in the world to make sure that we got all of our questions and concerns answered.

Depending on the location, just be aware you might not see him every visit.

The first cycle we did was Leteozole for 5mg for cycle day 3-7. I went for an ultrasound and I was not responding to the letrozole. So they upped my dose to 7mg and we tried that the next cycle. There was still no response. The third cycle with him we did follistim 50mg cycle day 7-12 and did letrozole 7mg 3-7. I actually responded and had one follicle 21mm and a smaller one at 16mm. I did IUI on cycle day 15 with a ovidril trigger shot 36 hours prior. We are waiting now to see if it worked or not

Our first cycle was 1225, our second was 1,835. We had to pay all upfront at the first ultrasound appointment

Dr. Will was very warm and encouraging at the first meeting and took time from his schedule to do a phone meeting with my husband and I in order to accommodate our long commute to his office. He was able to start a new cycle tailoring to what I have already tried and what we felt comfortable with financially. Time will tell the next steps but we do have a plan in place if it is unsuccessful this month. He definitely allows the patient to guide the cycle while being open and honest about his recommendations.

Dr Will continued my previous treatment dose of letrozole because I was responding to it. However he added Gonal F to be a little more aggressive. Had the option of IUI but chose to do timed intercourse with trigger to save some money knowing that we had healthy sperm. If this cycle is not successful, our plan is to do an HSG to check for fallopian tube blockage. If there is major blockage, IVF may be our route.

The baseline ultrasound is $435. Subsequent ultrasounds are $355. Estradiol level is $98. Initial consult was ~$200. Injectable meds were ~$300.

Being dealt the cards that IVF was our only option to conceive was heart breaking, earth shattering, you name it we felt it! I could not have imagined going through this process with any other doctor. We are so grateful to have been matched up with Dr.Will. He is everything and more you would ask in a fertility doctor. He is compassionate, empathetic, and is so wonderful at communicating. Our first IVF wasn’t the easiest road after we were pregnant, as we had a lot of scares and each time we came in you felt his genuine care to make sure we and the baby were okay. Words aren’t enough to explain how wonderful Dr.Will is as a person and as a doctor.

That you couldn’t be in better hands and to not be afraid to ask any question even if you feel it’s a crazy question. Dr.Will will always make you feel comfortable.

My husband’s sperm measured abnormal in all 3 categories so our beat option to successfully conceive was to do IVF. We had done all the pre testing including the dye in my Fallopian tubes and thankfully everything looked good on my end. We had daily injections leading up to the egg retrieval. Then went into a fresh transfer. We transferred 2 embryos and thankfully one attached. During the pregnancy I was overstimulated to the point my stomach was distended and I was collecting liquid. I had to be sent to have a procedure done to release the liquids. I also became dehydrated and had to be put on an IV of fluids, but thankfully that was also the day we found out we were pregnant. So it made that not feeling so well feel amazing! I also had unexplained bleeding throughout my first trimester so I was on close watch throughout with ultrasounds and as a result Dr.Will kept me on longer as a patient before turning me over to my OBGYN, which we greatly appreciated. We felt so cared for that it felt like a family member taking care of us versus a doctor.

First round about $15,000 this round about $21,000

No comments. I trust Dr.Will’s recommendations and follow them.

I had a child before I came into see Dr. Will. I have a little PCOS but mostly it was secondary infertility. From the moment we met Dr. Will, I felt at ease knowing that he would help me have another child. He explained everything that he was going to try to do and how each step would look. He is extremely caring, helpful, understanding and compassionate. I did IUI three times and each time did not get pregnant. We moved onto IVF and we transferred 2 embryos. They both stuck...amazing! Around 9 weeks, we found out that one of the embryos did not make it. Dr. Will was there the whole time during my ultrasound, holding my hand while I cried and comforting me and explaining to me what he thought had happened. After leaving, I felt a lot more at ease knowing what was going on and that he was going to monitor me extra to make sure the other baby would be safe. Now we have a little boy who we love dearly. He truly is an amazing man who cares deeply for each patient he sees and LOVES what he does!

Be yourself, tell him your fears and ask questions. He will always be there to answer them.

We did 3 IUI's that did not work. We moved onto IVF and used Follistim, Menopur, estrogen and progestrone. I don't remember the dosage though. We got 27 eggs, 22 matured, 11 fertilized and 5 made it to blastocysts. We transferred 2 embryos on our fresh cycle. They both stuck and had heartbeats. Around 9 weeks, we lost 1 of the babies. We waited a year and a half and did a frozen transfer. This time, we only transferred 1 embryo. It did not stick. I was on 2 mg of estrogen 3x a day from day 2 of my period. On day 14 of my cycle, I started progesterone. (1.5 ml a day) I also had to take Doxycycline and Methylprednisolone 4 days before my transfer. (2x a day) We are going to do a mock cycle this time around to make sure that my endometrium is good and the right time for implantation. After that, we will try for another FET with just 1 embryo.

My insurance did cover some monitoring appts but other than that we paid out of pocket. It was around $10,000 for IVF plus my medicine which was probably around $4500. We also paid for some appts after I got pregnant which I can't remember what that came out to be. We paid around $2000 for our FET plus medicine (which was minimal...around $250) but it didn't work.

The first time we did IVF (fresh cycle), Dr. Will was ok with me doing 2 embryos. Our frozen cycle, he told me it was always up to me but he preferred I did only 1 embryo because of my age, my previous pregnancy and just the overall health benefits for me.

While we haven't had the results we hoped for yet, Dr. Will has been candid but caring throughout the process. He makes you feel like he is invested in our goal and genuinely cares. His customer service exceeds expectations and is dedicated to making sure all our questions and concerns are addressed.

I don't recall the specific drugs/dosages, but as we are preparing for our second cycle of IVF, Dr. Will spent a lot of time discussing the tweaks to the regime for this round and the rationale for why he was making them and why we didn't do it that way the first time around. He was very thorough.

The cost for IUI was less than what I had expected after researching online (around $600 vs $800). IVF is obviously expensive, but the clinic's costs weren't out of whack with what we expected after researching online. We appreciated that MFC participated in the Attain program and also offered their own in-house program for purchasing multiple cycles with a discount and some guarantees.

Dr. Will went above and beyond my expectations for this journey. He was thorough in his answers, understood our nerves and helped to alleviate them. He made calls when it wasn't really his job to get paperwork completed (he actually called the fertility program we're working with to get our paperwork rolling b/c the office had limited staff due to weather). He called us even when he didn't need to b/c we had an odd appointment for an ultrasound and he wanted to make sure that we understood everything he takes into consideration and that he knows the techs all measure follicles differently (and he accounts for that) so he looks at the images taken too...not just follicle count and sizes they provided us (It really made us worry!). Every time we have met with him he is compassionate, understanding, thorough and fun. If you can't laugh with your doctor when you're going through this then who can you laugh with (especially when I told him I was going to create "infertility bingo" because I seemed to be checking all the boxes off of statistics related to infertility (1 in 4 miscarriages, 1 in 8 women have infertility issues, % of women with an inverted uterus, % of women who have a failed first IVF cycle, etc.) and that I wouldn't need the free space to win! HA! I can't imagine this journey with another doctor. Dr. Will is one in a million and we are lucky to have him on our side!

Ask any question you want to ask...be your own advocate...and know that he'll answer every last one of them. Don't be afraid to ask him...he's just the best! And be prepared for his laugh...it's amazing and brings a smile to your face!

Gonal-f 225 Menopur- 75 for the first 5 days and 125 for the next 7 Cetrotide- 125 HCG trigger shot 10 eggs retrieved/all mature 9 eggs fertilized 3 embryos made it to Day 6 blastocyst All 3 PGS tested and were all abnormal

We paid $525 for each IUI, insurance covered my blood work for each IUI but otherwise we had to pay $24K to the infertility program we used, $1400 to genesis counseling (for the PGS testing), $450 for anesthesia to the clinic, $5K for the stim meds and eventually will have to pay for the transfer and transfer meds.

Dr. Will was very pleasant - I just felt like he was very one size fits all with his treatment plan. I did not like that we never spoke to him or even saw him during our 4 IUIs. I felt like since we were not doing IVF we weren't a priority.

To ask that he be the one to communicate and evaluate the treatment plan, not the nurses.

Each month we played with my dosage as well as the days we did the IUI - I honestly felt like I was leading the charge on this. I would provide my recommendation to the nurse and she would say "sounds good". Looking back, I cannot believe this is what happened! I am not the expert!

I believe the IUI itself was $1035 (plus drugs)

Very easy to talk to you and approachable. He answered all of my questions without hesitation. He was not always available face-to-face, but would be available by phone. I did feel like not all of the procedures and regimens were always explained completely and thoroughly. Looking back, I could have asked more questions but was naive

Do some research before you go to the clinic so you have an idea of what to expect and what questions to ask. Ask for a detailed explanations of all the regimens, treatment interventions.

Initially, we tried letrozole with injections and are you why. After three rounds, we had no pregnancy. I conceived naturally in between the next cycle. When trying to get pregnant for the second time, I had to chemical pregnancies and return to the clinic for further care. He thought that since I had the ability to conceive, we would do just injections and timed intercourse. After two rounds of failure, we decided IVF because I am advanced maternal age. We had microdose Lupron with injections and only produced a small number of mature follicles. Only one egg fertilized and then arrested during development.

Initially are treatments were covered by insurance. Our insurance changed however and then we had to pay everything out of pocket. Are you why cost in the realm of $2500 and $3000. IVF with a flat rate of $12500

We never got this far

Dr. Will is the best! His care and drive to help couples to achieve their dream of having a child surpass other doctors! He takes his time with you to answer questions and is honest with you. You feel like more than just a number at this clinic and with Dr. Will. You are their priority.

He is a great doctor and will offer you honest, good advice or thoughts. Ask questions!

After 3 miscarriages from IVF, my RE at the time suggested considering using a surrogate to carry the baby due to my uterine anomaly (unicornate uterus). We transferred our embryos to Dr. Will's clinic (Midwest Fertility Specialists) for a surrogacy transfer. Unfortunately, 2 of our 3 remaining embryos did not survive the thaw (due to the transfer of the embryos from clinic to another clinic or the stress from PGS testing on the embryos). We will never know why the great quality embryos did not survive the thaw and that still is hard to swallow. The last embryo thawed but was very fragmented, Dr. Will thought it was good enough to transfer and we prayed and hoped, but unfortunately the transfer ended up as a negative pregnancy test. During this stressful and heartbreaking time, Dr. Will showed great compassion and willing to help any way he could. He is readily available for questions and his care for his patients is truly amazing. We currently are in waiting process to save up enough money to try IVF again with a surrogate (who is my willing sister) since with are completely out of embryos.

Prices are more expensive here than my previous fertility clinics.

He was very caring, thorough, and honest with us when he felt a course of treatment wasn't working. He went above and beyond. He was very invested in our success, but so very realistic about our chances (which I appreciate). I have nothing negative to say about him.

Follow his reccomendations.

I don't remember exactly what the first ivf protocol was called,.maybe antagonist. It involved Ganirelix and was cancelled part way through due to poor response, so never got to the egg retrieval. I only have one working ovary and poor egg quality and quantity due to a lot of previous surgeries. The next two IVF cycles were microdose lupron protocol. I took Follistim and Menopur with all of them. I did get a couplr embryos each time, but they were poor quality. All three cycles were unsuccessful. He also had me take a NeoQ10 with my last cycle, but it didn't end up improving my egg quality. I took Follistim and Menkpur with l three cycles.

I think all of the IVF cycles were like 12k and meds were about 5k. Our donor embryo cycles were like 6k I believe. Our insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments.

He was willing to transfer one or two embryos.

Dr. Will has been a great doctor throughout the entire process. We came to him with a our diagnosis already, but his course of treatment has been thoughtful and professional. He always explains things fully and is 100% attentive during visits and with follow-up calls, including on weekends. I appreciate that Dr. Will advises single embryo transfer and is clear about the risk of multiples. He is proactive yet conservative in his approach.

Come to appointments with questions as Dr. Will will take the time to answer them fully for you.

I show no signs of female-factor infertility so Dr. Will used an agonist protocol. He reduced medications slightly during my stims to prevent overstimulation and used a combination trigger shot as well since I was growing 20+ follicles during my monitoring appointments.

We have no insurance coverage so all costs were out of pocket. We have paid for one full IVF cycle to date.

Dr. Will strongly recommends single embryo transfer. I very much trust his judgement on this issue and he does a very good job of explaining why he is approach our treatment this way. Dr. Will is very good about doing what is best for the patient vs. simply focusing on success rates.

Dr. Will was patient, kind and funny! Dr. Will joked during our consultation that his job is to "get you pregnant, although not by me!" I appreciated Dr. Will's willingness to be aggressive from the start, he understood that my husband and I were ready to get pregnant and were tired of lousy medical advice, he started our meds that day and we scheduled a day 14 ultrasound as we left the consultation. He was transparent during our treatment and was also visibly knowledgeable about the process.

His humor is meant with good intentions.

June 2016- 5mg Femara, day 14 ultrasound, 1 follicle, ovidrel trigger injection, timed intercourse = negative pregnancy test. July 2016- 5mg Femara, day 14 ultrasound, 2 follicles, ovidrel trigger injection, timed intercourse = negative pregnancy test. August 2016- 5mg Femara, day 14 ultrasound, 3 follicles, ovidrel trigger injection, timed intercourse = negative pregnancy test. August / September 2016 - HSG procedure, no blockages. September 2016- 5mg Femara, day 12 ultrasound, 5 follicles, ovidrel trigger injection, timed intercourse = negative pregnancy test. October 2016- 5mg Femara, day 11 ultrasound,2 follicles, ovidrel trigger injection, iui, positive pregnancy test and delivery at 38 weeks.

Co pays for visits and ultrasounds. IUI was out of pocket $500 or $550

Dr. Will was our doctor up until 12 weeks at which point and time my wife had to transition to her OBGYN. This was an incredibly difficult transition as we had both grown so close to Dr. Will and his staff and weren’t quite ready to leave this team of incredible friends and supporters. We missed him dearly the rest of the pregnancy, however he did reach out to check on us a few times. He also made sure we sent photos of our twin girls to him once they arrived!

This process is an emotional roller coaster but Dr. Will and his staff will help you get comfortable each and every step of the way. It is a journey and the scientific advances are only a small part of the process as you will form new and lasting bonds with these people throughout this experience. I couldn’t give a higher endorsement of Dr. Will. We have referred several couples to his practice.

I don’t remember exactly (this was over 3 years ago now) He did inform us (with all the reasons and details) we needed to do ICSI because my husband had very low motility and mobility. He had my husband also give a sample before the transfer day and froze it just in case. And thank the Lord he did this because the sample he gave the day of was not adequate and couldn’t be used. Dr Will used the frozen sample and it worked.

Around $15,000

Dr Will told us he would not put more than 2 eggs back in any patient of his for safety reasons. He was very confident we would be successful only putting one embryo back, but said it was ultimately our decision. So we went big and put 2 back- and both took! :-)

We really enjoyed seeing Dr Will. He is very intelligent and caring . I did think he developed our treatment plan without considering all the factors that were important to us, which was a detriment. He was very responsive to emails.

Be clear about how your specific desires may change your plan.

Dr Will recommended 3 IUIs despite the fact that I had Stage 4 endometriosis. I knew he recommendation was IVF but he said we should try IUI first because "that's what you do." Dr Will recommended a combo injectable + oral ovarian stimulation regimen. I had four follicles the first IUI, 2 the second, and one the third. No pregnancy from the IUIs. Dr Will does not automatically use progesterone.

Monitoring and IUI for injectable meds - $1500 (plus meds)
