Paul Dmowski

Dr. Dwmoski first off has been in the field of infertility longer than most. He is extremely knowledgeable. He is polite, compassionate, honest, and trustworthy. Our first consult he spent his time getting to know us and our lives and history. After all of the initial testing was completed we sat down with him again and found out we had male and female factor infertility. He explained our chances of conceiving on our own and with IUI & IVF (both low). Regardless he was positive and had a plan set out immediately as timing was important in my case because of my diminished ovarian reserve and male factor infertility. When 2 IUI cycles did not work he did not hesitate to move on to IVF. We did a fresh IVF cycle that failed and then a frozen cycle where I had my baby girl. We were in the process now again and it has not been positive results, but nothing has changed about Dr. Dmowski, he will always be our go to docotor.

Listen to him. He knows what he is doing. His experience is above and beyond. He may have different opinions than other doctors but he has been doing this for longer than many.

First we did two IUI cycles that were unsucessful. Then fresh IVF with IV meds (gonadotropins I believe) I think this included lupron, menopur & follistim and a medication for HCG trigger. With the first frozen cycle we used birth control first, then blood work, then I think estrogen injections (the patches did not work in fresh cycle) and progesterone injections. There may be one medication I missed With all transfers I used doxycycline to prevent infection and prenatal vitamins. Then valium, toradol and doxycycline day of IVF transfer (successful). The last IV transfer (2019) used same protocols doxy, valium (day of) estrogen & progesterone which unfortunately resulted in a miscarriage. Our next cycle was cancelled as a had a virus, and the following was cancelled because of COVID.

With my first fresh IVF cycle my insurance covered almost everything once I hit deductible (which was around $1000) my insurance would not over all meds which was the biggest issue but the Doctor tried medications that were covered or affordable first to try to help. Nurses also offered samples. For our successful frozen cycle our deductible was met medications were covered so barely paid anything. For our last frozen IVF with miscarriage with new insurance we paid $1,200 for everything. For the following frozen cycle there was a one time $800 payment due after insurance. Meds were free, but cycle got cancelled. At the end of the day what we ended up paying the most for was medications that were not covered by insurance after alternatives did not work. So we had to pay out of pocket for those which ended up being close to $15,000. Again this was insurance not the doctor or clinics fault.

We always followed his opinion but he listened. He thought trying one embryo for the first fresh IVF cycle was a good choice as we did not know if I would be successful or not and I was at a younger age. When that cycle did not work we tried two for our first frozen cycle and had our baby girl. For the next frozen cycle we implanted to and got pregnant with one that ended in miscarriage.

I enjoyed Dr. Dmowski as my doctor. He has an incredible amount of experience in his field. He is more than happy to share his knowledge and make it understandable. He is very sincere, but also has a sense of humor. He is a caring and compassionate physician.

If you are looking for a lot of sugarcoating and hand holding, he probably isn't the doctor for you. If you want a doctor that gives it to you straight and uses his experience to get you pregnant without any mishaps, he is your man.

Protocol was birth control, Lupron, Follistim and menopur. HCG trigger. Doxycycline. Intramuscular delestrogen and progesterone. Used ICSI for severe MFI. We ended up with 4 good quality blasts. One fresh transfer ended in negative beta. One frozen transfer resulted in positive beta.

My insurance covered most of my stimulation, egg retrieval and fresh transfer. When my insurance benefits ran out I paid $5,000 for a complete FET cycle with monitoring and transfer.

Doctor advised he would not transfer more than 2. He educated me on the pros and cons of both and respected my decision to transfer 2.
