I’ve never had to wait more than like 15 min to get pulled back [at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology], when they do I see the doctor within minutes! The clinic has its private operating recovery room and embryology lab so it’s really nice and you get all the care you need and they are all focused on just their patients. Downside it’s in a hospital and lots of walking which sucks when you are feeling bad from all the meds but nothing that is major. Overall highly recommend!
How was your experience with Stephen Collins at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology (formerly Sher Fertility of Texas)?
From the moment I went to my consult after visiting another doctor, I knew I was going to be happy with Dr. Collins. He had read my files before I came in, asked questions to better understand my situation, and had a game plan in mind and explained what he would do differently. I really appreciated that I saw him at every visit and he personally monitored me. He always looked happy to see me and was encouraging but with the truth. There was a few times I went in feeling terrible during the Stims process and he listened to all my symptoms and then gave me a game plan. If I asked to know more about something he explained and even did extra analysis on my ultrasounds to assure me when I had a concern. He checked in through email with me and gave us reports as soon as he had them. Even when he had to give not so good news about my egg retrieval he did it with compasión and transparency. I couldn’t be happier so far.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Stephen Collins at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology (formerly Sher Fertility of Texas)?
Ask all the questions and concerns you have, he is great at addressing them.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephen Collins at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology (formerly Sher Fertility of Texas)?

Describe the protocols Stephen Collins used in your cycles at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology (formerly Sher Fertility of Texas) and their degree of success.
Based on my previous failed IVF, he started my medications higher 2 vials of menopour, follitism 225 and Ganirelix. I produced more mature eggs than previously. Not as many fertilized but we had more left at the end than previous cycle. He also is doing Lupron for 2 months to suppress Endometriosis before trying a transfer which is a new protocol to me. He is very updated with research and statistics and makes better decisions based on those than other doctors.
Describe your experience with your nurse at Center for Reproductive Endocrinology (formerly Sher Fertility of Texas). (Assigned nurse: Heather Jackson)
All the nurses were so nice and compassionate as the doctor. I really don’t have anything negative to say about anyone here so far. My main nurse is very responsive and explains everything I ask and offers to help any ways possible. Other nurses are just as great and my retrieval nurse was an angel. I told her about my issues with anesthesia and she listened and made sure I was okay every step of the way.

While communication and check ins were good [with Dr. Collins], I came in knowing some of my fertility issues already and it's like I was given a standard cookie cutter protocol. I now know that the path we were started on was not appropriate for my issues. He also didn't make my partner have testing but we later found out we also have male factor. I just felt like we were given the same treatment as everyone else. Not what we needed...We did 6 rounds of letrozole over about 8 months. They weren't successful and we now know it's due to my issues and male factor and that IVF is our only option. He did say IVF would be next steps but I didn't feel confident with him after wasting so much time.

Dr Collins takes the time needed with his patients. He has a gentle bedside manner. He always explains everything in easy to understand language. He’s professional, but can make you laugh. He is willing to tailor the treatment to the specific person. He’s willing to try things that are new if they will benefit the outcome...Make that consult! He’s awesome!
I do feel like you have to be on top of all of your medications, appointments and supplements. You have to advocate cod yourself. The communication through MyChart is the fastest way to get in touch with a member of your team [at Yale University]...[nurses] Patrick, Jitha, Maureen, Kree and Danielle have all been amazing. Kree and Danielle have remembered me through the years and know my struggles.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Stephen Collins at Yale University?
Dr Collins was a resident during our first 3 cycles. When our original doctor left the practice we were stuck in limbo and saw a different provider for our FET. When that failed, I decided to switch to Dr Collins after learning that he was now taking on patients of his own. He was familiar with our case and walked into our appointment with notes about us. He put a treatment plan into place and we are now just waiting for covid restrictions to be lifted to proceed with our 4th cycle.
Describe the protocols Stephen Collins used in your cycles at Yale University and their degree of success.
In my past 2 fresh cycles, we found that I have poor embryo quality. Dr Collins had found a study that suggests taking DHEA can improve embryo outcomes. We tested my levels and they were deficient, so I have been on a DHEA supplement for 4 months now. Once Covid restrictions are lifted we will proceed with stims and retrieval.

Thankfully my insurance has covered a lot of my cycles. Out of pocket costs included the copays, copays for prescriptions, and deductible. Other out of pocket costs are ICSI, embryo cryopreservation and embryo storage.
Describe Stephen Collins's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Yale University.
This will depend on embryo quality. In total, we have transferred 5 embryos through the past 3 cycles and still do not have a baby.
What specific things went wrong at Yale University?
Failed to call in prescriptions to pharmacy

I’ve had to be on top of my medications especially working with Freedom Pharmacy.
Dr Collins was always available for me to meet with him with questions. He would sit and give me time to explain my thoughts and feelings. ... He will treat you like the patient who deserves the best and most up to date information. ... My final retrieval I had OHSS, but I wouldn’t have changed this at all because of the success of the retrieval. ...He’s constantly referencing the most recent research and providing me with articles to review for my own knowledge!
The doctors and people [at Yale University] are amazing, but the main office where you go for procedures has you wait in a line to get seen. It’s a little odd there’s not a better system in place but hopefully this can be improved. ... I always got there first thing and never waited.

Every time I walked into their office they knew my DOB, asked how I was doing, and took the time to listen.
Describe the protocols Stephen Collins used in your cycles at Yale University and their degree of success.
Ivf retrieval 1- we went light on gonal and had to cancel this round. Ivf retrieval 2- increased gonal and menopur. Ended up with 12 eggs retrieved, 5 mature and fertilized, 1 barely made it to blast. We transferred that one of poor quality and it didn’t work. Ivf retrieval 3- we did a priming with Estrace 2 weeks before my period. We increased gonal and menopur again. We retrieved 24 eggs, 16 mature and fertilized, 5 made it to blast. My final retrieval I had OHSS, but I wouldn’t have changed this at all because of the success of the retrieval. My doctors always kept me updating them with my health and I never felt nervous. I had my first frozen egg transfer (letrozole, gonal, pio shots and endometrin inserts) and am currently going through a chemical pregnancy and waiting for my hcg levels to lower.

It makes sense and it’s hard to agree with but I do. For someone in my situation, a one embryo transfer is preferred.

The clinic is clean and all the staff are easy to communicate with. I don't have much to say about the clinic itself, I don't have enough information to make more comments. The overall success rate of the clinic is similar to the average national rate. Per my understanding, the embryologists contribute a huge part in that. Personally I think Dr. Collins is doing a great job in treating my tricky case, which my previous doctor even mentioned about having surrogacy.

We’re still in the beginning stages but weight loss was discussed [with Dr. Stephen Collins], and doing different procedures to ensure my tubes are clear, and my uterus has no polyps or abnormalities. Blood work has been done and femara has been discussed as a treatment option over clomid...I felt like a human, he had a nice personal folder with all my information and upcoming procedures, but I can tell he has done this many times before. The questions felt rehearsed and there wasn’t much enthusiasm in the consultation.

How was your experience with Stephen Collins at Yale University?
I just started treatment with Dr. Collins and so far it’s going well. I am waiting on blood work and I go for a sonohystergram tomorrow (9/27) He is my second fertility doctor, as the first one quit his practice half way through treatment. My obgyn tried to take over, but her experience in fertility is limited and I was referred to a reproductive endocrinologist for further treatment. I am excited and hopeful that I will receive the right care with Dr. Collins
