2023 - 2024, Unsuccessful
I only talked to {dr. Steven Gay] at initial consultation...He never really tried to figure out why we were having issues...didn't make any suggestions for supplements unless prompted which I found strange...no adjustments in any cycle or trying something different...was not given rational besides various different made up stats on how likely the IUI would work.
Shady Grove is a mass market clinic...issues with the billing team, and had to personally call to get the issue fixed after 3 months after sending a few messages. Expect to wait 20-40 minutes for your appointment as well...Katie is the best part of the experience. She explained the IUI to me

Baseline tests, Letrozole 5 mg cd 3-7, ultrasound 7 days later to make sure lining and follicles were at least 18 mm, trigger and IUI procedure 2 days later. Husbands sperm was always 2-6x more than the recommend amount.
(no adjustments in any cycle or trying something different). I was not given rational besides various different made up stats on how likely the IUI would work. I would have like to be told exactly what could have gone wrong, but the phone call was always negative result, please do another IUI.

Katie is the best part of the experience. She explained the IUI to me (Dr. Gay never explained the procedure). She was available during work hours to answer questions. In fact, Dr. Gay ghosted me after my last IUI, but Katie called to confirm the negative results.
