What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute?
It can be a wait to get on her calendar. Typically when she tells her staff to schedule a follow up around X date you can add 2-3 weeks before the staff finds an appointment slot for you.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute?
Dr. Behera and her entire staff are all fabulous.

Describe the protocols Millie Behera used in your cycles at Bloom Reproductive Institute and their degree of success.
I'm single, attempting to have a chip on my own using frozen donor sperm. She did blood work and HSG and I think and SHG to make sure all was normal. Once the results were in she gave me the choice of starting with a natural cycle or clomid, talking me through the risks of clomid. She was understanding and supportive of my choice to start my first cycle with clomid and a trigger shot. In her office the IUI is performed by one of her NUrse Practitioners. On day 3 and 10 they do an ultrasound to first confirm there are no cysts and then check readiness size & number. Clomid was given days 3-7 (50mg the first cycle, 100mg the second). I triggered with Ovidrel and IUI was exactly 36 hours later. After IUI cream progesterone was used vaginally with a blood check on day 6 to check progesterone. I'm still in the two week wait of my 2nd IUI.

Describe your experience with Bloom Reproductive Institute.
If my second cycle fails I will have questions about medicine protocols. I've heard from peers that there are alternatives to clomid with lower risk of multiples but better egg quality. I didn't know to ask about them before and am not sure if those are options for me. Every RE is trying to make their own recipe for success so maybe Dr. Behera believes clomid is crucial in that recipe, but I just want to know if there are other options.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute.
I have very good insurance so can't really speak to this.
Dr. Bahera really cares about safety of her patient and safety of pregnancy and baby so she takes a more careful approach. I think 2 embryos is the most she will transfer for this reason. Also during IUI’s if ever over stimulated with multiple follicles she would cancel for that month. I really value her staying strong to these numbers. Multiples pose higher risk to mother and babies. Not to mention what it takes to care for multiples.
My IVF nurse assigned to me [at Bloom Reproductive] was a breath of fresh air. She was patient with me. Answered all my questions to the best of her ability and if she didn’t have an answer she would get one for me. Riley always got back to me in a timely manner. She was compassionate and knowledgeable.... Office is clean and in good condition. Overall I would say the office runs smoothly. Employees always looked and talked professionally and they all seem happy at their job. Friendly faces with enthusiasm to be working for a great cause!
How was your experience with Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute?
Dr. Bahera is knowledgeable, compassionate, gentle, kind, smart, and great communicator. She gave me a sense of ease during my treatment. She was the doctor I needed during a very difficult time in my life.

Trust Dr. Bahera and her staff to help formulate a plan that works best for you and your family.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute?
Dr. Bahera always gave me a sense of peace while in her care. I went through 5 unsuccessful IUI’s with Dr. Bahera and her office. I was beginning to lose hope of ever being able to have my own child. Dr. Bahera always gave me a sense of hope and a sense of calmness. She held my hand on multiple occasions. I never told her what a dark place our struggles with conceiving had put me in. It’s like she knew just what I needed. Compassion, along with her expertise. I trusted Dr. Bahera 💯! With God and the help of Dr. Behera, Tamera and Riley we have a beautiful baby girl! We are getting ready to to do another fresh embryo transfer and their is no one else I would want to do it with!! I can say with confidence and ease that Dr. Bahera and her staff is worth putting your trust in!
Describe the protocols Millie Behera used in your cycles at Bloom Reproductive Institute and their degree of success.
I don’t remember many specifics of my treatment plans. We did 5 cycles of IUI using Clomid and femora. Progesterone and estrogen suppositories along with estrogen patches. We did trigger shots prior to issemination.
During our IVF cycle we used above creams, patches, daily progesterone injections, daily aspirin, BID COQ10, daily steroids. I’m forgetting a lot!

Describe Millie Behera's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Bloom Reproductive Institute.

Dr. Behera is very sweet, caring and understanding. She is never cold or too blunt...She has a very busy practice, so the wait times to get your initial New Patient appointment can be months. Once you see her, she is very caring and understanding. She wants to get you results, quickly. She plans a course of action and starts it immediately.
Make your appointment now! Even if you're just thinking about it, new patients can take months to get in [to Bloom Reproductive Institute]...Very friendly, they would describe everything and answer all of my questions...Clomid $6, Ovidrel trigger shot $130, Progesterone compound $50, Bloodwork $425, IUI $500...Everything is on site, the blood draws, any surgical procedures, etc. They always call you the same day with lab results!

Very nice demeanor of staff while in the office. Dr. Behera is very sweet, caring and understanding. She is never cold or too blunt. I will say I haven't felt that it's easy to get a hold of them with questions. They haven't offered any access to a patient portal or email.
Describe the protocols Millie Behera used in your cycles at Bloom Reproductive Institute and their degree of success.
I had a previous IUI cycle with Clomid, that resulted in a pregnancy (ultimately miscarrying). She wanted to use Clomid again, since I responded well to it the first time. I did 5 days of Clomid, then an Ovidrel injection to trigger.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Bloom Reproductive Institute.
Very friendly, they would describe everything and answer all of my questions

Super busy, but once you're a patient, getting appointments is never a problem. Everything is on site, the blood draws, any surgical procedures, etc. They always call you the same day with lab results!
Describe the costs associated with your care under Millie Behera at Bloom Reproductive Institute.
Dr. Behera is very warm and compassionate. However, you do not get to see her too often. Partially because it is a large volume business. You are not a number to her in the sense that she truly cares about your success...She typically performs Hysteroscopies on IVF patients...she uses multiple forms of each medicine. For example: for Estrogen, expect to take a pill, a patch, and a suppository.
It is hard to get a hold of anyone if you call. Expect to leave a message, and get a call back at some point. Emails are best, all though not always promptly returned. This is due to the large volume of patients...[the Bloom Reproductive Institute] Nurses were nice, always made me feel comfortable...Some of the "add ons" like IV's cost more here than other clinics I believe.

She [Dr. Millie Behera] is very caring and understanding & explains treatment plan in depth. She individually tailors a plan based on each person's situation. She let me set my own pace, but gave recommendations if I asked (ex: do IUI again or go to IVF)...I would want a new patient to know IVF takes much longer than you expect. I started back in November and probably wont transfer until April...try and get on her schedule ASAP.
No weaknesses [at Bloom Reproductive Institute]. Prompt to return calls, great environment, typically don't wait long than 10 minutes.

I feel the costs are very fair and reasonable. Around $600 for IUI with semen wash included.
Most of the other costs have been covered by my insurance. (ultrasounds, bloodwork, HSG, SHG. )
Kind, compassionate, knowledgeable. She truly exceeded my expectations! As a nurse, I've worked with good, bad and indifferent physicians. Dr. Behera is not only knowledgeable about infertility, she has outstanding bedside manor. It's hard to find a physician that has both qualities!... Go in with an open mind! Be willing to hear your options. Be flexible, not all treatment plans work for every patient! Dr. Behera is really good about making individual treatment plans for each patient
