Travis McCoy

Dr. McCoy was always kind. He always kept us optimistic with our options. We always left appointments happy with the knowledge that we were provided with, and always had a clear understanding of what to expect in the future. Dr. McCoy explained our diagnosis thoroughly and provided us with the regimen he wanted us to follow. He was very knowledgeable about our diagnosis, and knew what treatment plan would work best for our situation. We never had to switch any medications or treatment plans after seeing Dr. McCoy, the medication and plans he recommended were always successful! He preformed my husband’s sperm retrieval surgery and it went very well! He did so well and was able to retrieve exactly what we needed with a much smaller incision than what we were expecting and minimal damage, which made his recovery a breeze! Dr. McCoy also preformed my embryo transfer. I was SO nervous, but I felt much more relaxed and comfortable after he entered the room and started talking to me. It is so comforting to have a doctor who is confident, knowledgeable, polite and encouraging. Our transfer was a success and we finally have our miracle baby, all thanks to him! I couldn’t be happier with the care he provided us with!

Trust his knowledge and his treatment plan. I believe he will always do what is in the best interest of his patients!

My husband had a sperm count of zero. Dr. McCoy did an exam and determined he had a blockage. He also ordered a blood panel and determined that his FSH was low, as well as his testosterone, which was critically low at 102 (Dr. McCoy informed us that the normal range is anywhere from 400-1000). So he determined that my husband had low brain signaling along with the blockage, which made our case a little more difficult. Dr. McCoy started our treatment plan with trying to correct the hormonal issue. He prescribed Clomid, which he explained would hopefully trigger the brain to start sending the proper signals, resulting in better hormone levels. He had us follow up with several appointments to have bloodwork done to insure that the medicine was working properly. If it was not, he had a back-up plan, which was an HCG injection. Luckily the Clomid worked excellent for us and his hormone levels came up to the normal range! He ordered a second sperm sample, just to be certain of the blockage that he had suspected and his sperm count was still zero. So we got the confirmation we needed about that. We continued the Clomid for 8 months, and when all of his bloodwork was in the goal range, Dr. McCoy preformed his sperm retrieval. The day of the sperm retrieval, Dr. McCoy did a wonderful job. He was able to retrieve more than enough to fertilize all of my eggs and also had plenty of sperm left to freeze, so the procedure was very successful. He was able to get exactly what we needed with just a small incision, so the recovery was a breeze for my husband! He did a great job determining when to schedule the sperm retrieval around my egg retrieval and the timing of everything lined up perfectly! During the process of the stimulation shots for my egg retrieval, I had an ultrasound done and the nurse noticed that my follicles weren’t maturing as quickly as they had hoped, so Dr. McCoy tweaked the dosages of my stim shots and that did the trick! The next ultrasound they were right on track! Our embryo transfer was also done by Dr. McCoy and was a success! He did an excellent job handling all of our obstacles and was able to give us our miracle!

Testicular Aspiration $3,650 IVF medication $5,000 IVF $12,500 Bloodwork, ultrasounds, semen analysis, consults, etc. approximately $2,500-3,500?

Dr. McCoy discussed with us his reasoning for doing a single embryo transfer and we totally trusted his judgment and had a clear understanding of why he thought that to be the best option for us.

Dr. McCoy couldn't be any more personable and respectful. He takes time to get to know his patients, asked me what I did for work and how I liked it, talked to me about my insurance, asked about my partner and his experience with this journey. All of those things help when a doctor that you are meeting for the first time is performing an invasive procedure. He called me the night before a holiday to personally deliver test results and when I missed the first call, he called back again. I could hear in his voice the genuine happiness that he shared with my partner and I, and that was appreciated. During the consultation that he encouraged me to schedule, he explained things until I understood, repeated if needed, and took as much time as I needed in that I never felt rushed. It was the same with the procedure. I feel grateful that he has been my primary doctor during this journey.

Be patient while waiting to get on his schedule--it is well worth it and you will be in great hands of someone who truly cares.

3 IUIs with letrozole and a trigger shot Ovidrel 1st round of IVF, Sprintec birth control, Provera 10 mg, Novarel and Lupron, low dose hcd 30, increased to 40 over time, Keflex to prevent infection, Gonal F 250 increased to 325 over time. With this protocol I had scans and labs drawn regularly and was able to retrieve 35 eggs making it 12 embryos and 9 that are healthy, optimal for transfer.

For IUI, we chose self pay to save the insurance benefits. For IVF, everything is through a 3rd party insurance and bills are just starting to roll in.

Dr. McCoy practices single embryo transfer to minimize risks and I support his decisions.

Dr. McCoy has always plainly explained my fertility situation. He has been compassionate but has not sugar coated anything. From my initial appointment to my last one he takes his time with me. When previous treatments didn’t work we kept moving forward. He has had a plan from the beginning, but he has tailored it to fit my fertility needs as new situations have come up. As a physician it is easy to see that he loves what he does. He enjoys helping people create families.

Ask a lot of specific questions. He sometimes forgets that it is your first time through each process.

I took Letrozole cycle days 3-8 to grow follicles. I went in for a follicle scan on day 12 with my first five medicated cycles. The follicles were ready and we triggered ovulation with Ovidrel. These were timed intercourse cycles. My fifth cycle it was determined that I ovulated early, after that I went on day 10 for follicle scans. After eight unsuccessful cycles with all of that we moved on to IUI. Same protocol but did IUI instead of intercourse. Nothing was successful. I have not gotten pregnant yet.

I paid out of pocket, at a discounted rate, for my medications. My insurance covered all in-office exams, ultrasounds, procedures, and appointments.

Dr. McCoy has always been up front and honest with us. When I began seeing him for treatment, I had been to a primary OB that wanted to skip looking into the "blockage" that she claimed to have found without any tests besides an HSG. I was distraught and scared. Dr. McCoy reviewed the images from my HSG, multitude of ultrasound images, went over my history in detail.. then asked to evaluate things for himself because something wasn't adding up. After his exam, he discovered I did not have a blocked tube, but I have what is called a unicornate uterus. Nothing that needed to be surgically corrected as it was something I was born with. He answered all of my questions right then and there about my diagnosis.

Don't waste time with primary ob's. I wasted over a year of time and got no where at all besides broken hearted month after miserable month. If you are worried about the cost, also don't, the office has many options to help you even if your insurance doesn't have benefits for fertility. It is reasonable with or without insurance.

My consulting was no charge. Each appointment there after has varied depending on my insurance coverage, never more than $75

N/A

Doctor McCoy did a nice job explaining things and adjusting the plan in attempt to get our desired results. there was a few times I was uncertain of what would happen next or what to do next but I felt that fell under his nurses responsibilities instead of his.

Ask questions

My husband was put on clomid for low sperm count and mobility currently awaiting the results for that. I was put on a Lupron Depo shot for 3 months to help with endometriosis. I was not retested for endometriosis but pains did go away.prior to finding out I had endometriosis he scheduled a biopsy which led to the results of finding out I had endometriosis.

Most appointments were easy to schedule and done right after labs. Everything went smooth although results were not usually told at the time.

I don't remember.

N/a

Dr. McCoy is an exceptional doctor. He is always very attentive, analytical, calm, cooperative, creative, energetic, ethical, friendly, gracious, humorous, investigative, knowledgeable, mature, nurturing, observant, compassionate, reassuring,skillful, trustworthy, and vigilant. The only negative I have its hard to get an appointment because he's very busy. I will never forget when he had to provide me with not so good news he was so apologetic but willing to do whatever he can to assist me.

When you visit Dr. McCoy know that your best interest comes first. Bring questions as they are welcomed. You will not be rush as he will spend as much time as needed.

I am a new patient and my first visit he gave me lab work . My second visit we went over the next steps. At this time I have a procedure scheduled so do not have results at this time. I am very pleased with the pace he is moving as he is really trying to help me get results.

So far my insurance covered most of the cost. I have had to pay a fee each visit had to pay $60 deductible for a specialist fee. The cost for my pre op was $150. I will have more to pay as we approach the next steps.

My husband and I came to Dr. McCoy originally for genetic reasons. After meeting with him and my husband having a semen analysis we found out we could have potential issues due to my husbands sperm count. Dr. McCoy explained how we would over come those issues and eased my anxieties right away. We then did a recessive gene screening and found that my husband and I both carry a disease that our child could die from. Dr.McCoy right away called me and explained the results and explained what could be done to prevent passing this on to our children. Due to having to screen for two genetic issues now Dr.McCoy did what was necessary and amped up my protocol to get as many eggs as possible to increase our chances of getting a “normal” embryo. Him and my awesome nurse managed my care so well and followed my lab work so closely. I got 45 eggs retrieved! I appreciate Dr. McCoys honesty about that fact that we may not get any embryos that work. His honesty meant a lot and helped me prepare for that scenario. Fortunately of the 13 embryos we got 4 are considered not at risk and are usable. Dr. McCoy knew my anxieties about waiting for test results so he called us personally at 7:30pm after hours to give us the results. That meant so much to us! Unfortunately my first transfer ended in a chemical pregnancy, but we are taking a break and hopeful for the next. Dr. McCoy immediately reached out to us to review the process and next possible options to explore why the pregnancy was lost. This gave me a lot of comfort and shows he truly cares about each individual case!

To trust the process and Dr. McCoy he knows what he is doing and is very thorough. He is very vigilant of every one of his patients and there individual case. He is very honest about outcomes and what to expect, but in a gentle manner.

For my retrieval I took gonal f 250 units at night for 12 nights, 20 units Hcg, keflex, aspirin, and provera tablets. I can’t remember exactly how my doses changed throughout the 12 day stim process because they changed a lot. Dr. McCoy changed them a lot because my estrogen was high and he wanted to keep my out of OOHS but wanted to get as many eggs as possible. It was an intricate balance. I didn’t do the hcg trigger just the Lupron to keep me out of OOHS. I had 45 eggs retrieved, 20 fertilized, and 13 made it to day 5 to be biopsied and frozen. Of the 13, four can be used for transfer. For my first transfer I did estrogen pills up to 7mg daily and then the week of my transfer I did .75mg PIO shots daily. I also did steroid pills with keflex and aspirin. My transfer was seamless and so easy. I was pregnant then started cramping and ended up having a chemical pregnancy. We are now exploring the next steps and taking a mental and emotional break. This process is so stressful but having a great doctor and nurses helps a lot.

The cycle cost was around 20,000, the medications 4,000, and the genetic testing 11,000. My insurance did not cover anything so we had to pay out of pocket using practically all our savings. I need to have a uterine biopsy now but do not have the money readily because it will be our of pocket too.

Due to my age and my presumed level of fertility one embryo was selected. Also I am 5,1” so carrying two babies might pose a greater risk for my health and delivering too early.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. McCoy to someone I love who needs assistance in conceiving. Both my husband and I felt like he would continue trying various options until we found something that worked. On top of that, he was immediately accepting of our decision to switch to IUI with donor sperm when we still had another embryo left. After four embryos didn't work out, we felt a new direction was right for us and he did not discourage us. I fully believe I'm 31 weeks pregnant now because he and my husband were willing to let me trust my body to try a different way.

Ask any questions you have. He's willing to answer and he'll take the time to explain in laymen's terms so you don't leave confused.

We came to Dr. McCoy knowing my husband had a zero sperm count. We learned quickly that he would need a surgery to determine whether he wasn't making sperm at all or they were blocked by a trauma from a surgery he had as an infant. We made plans for him to have that surgery within days of me having an egg retrieval so we could prepare embryos for later frozen transfers. Dr. McCoy was able to collect some sperm and we ended up with five embryos to freeze. We tried three FET rounds. The first ended in miscarriage, but the embryo did not show any genetic issues. The second didn't take and the third, with two embryos, also didn't take. After some reevaluation, Dr. McCoy offered a few options including a procedure to determine if I have endometriosis. My husband and I felt like maybe the quality of the embryos just wasn't good enough, something we knew might be a possibility from the beginning. So we decided to try IUI with donor sperm. We did that twice. On the second try, it worked. I am now almost 32 weeks pregnant.

We paid somewhere between $35-40k total for my IVF, FET and IUI cycles as well as my husband's sperm retrieval surgery

When I initially schedule a consultation with PREG I had some major anxieties about the whole process. I never thought I would experience infertility given that I previously had children with no medical issues or complications. Dr. McCoy and his staff welcomed me with open arms and were very comforting during the whole process. My first appointment with him I explained some of the symptoms I was having, to ensure it was not another medical issue he performed an ultrasound, this was confirmation it was not what we previously thought. This was a small step in the right direction, this also showed me that he listened to me and truly cared about me as an individual and not just another person. Dr. McCoy explained every procedure in detail and ensured that I understood what direction we were going in all of this, this gave me the confidence to trust in his abilities. Dr. McCoy never made me feel like the possibility of getting pregnant and carrying a child was out of the window. Even when we experienced three failed IUIs and two failed FETs, he reassured me that my journey wasn't over. This is just a storm on the way to my rainbow. I really felt like he cared about my pain, anxiety, frustration, and heartbreak. I also would like to mention his staff, not only are they friendly, but they are caring. In times of heartbreak they were a shoulder to cry on and an ear to vent to. I would highly recommend Dr. McCoy and his staff to anyone who asked.

Be open and honest with how you are feeling, what you expect and be open to change.

Dr McCoy agreed to allowing us to do multiples because of my age. Never did he pressure us into doing anything that we were against.

I only saw Dr. McCoy twice. Every other time it was a nurse. When I did see him he was sweet, kind, caring, and his bed side manner was spot on. You could tell that he knew exactly what he was talking about and he was all about results.

Listen, listen, listen and always remember to ask questions. He will never lead you astray and though he is blunt he will tell you exactly what you don't want to hear at the right moment.

He talked to me about the risks. Then there were scans, pills, and shots. There was never a week that we were not working on making a baby.

For one scan it was 135 dollars. My husbands semen analysis was 65 dollars. My 12 day scan was over 100 dollars. My first initial appointment was over 90 dollars. Then the medicine was 9 dollars every time.

He explained what all my options were. Also was candid about my age and the risks of using my own eggs. He didn’t say no to any of the options, but i appreciates how he highlighted the risks. We all love to hear the good, but knowing the risks allow us to make more rational decisions especially dealing with fertility.

Be open to all of his advice. Ask all your questions up front don’t be afraid, he will be honest with you. I took a break to get my mind right and alleviate stress as much as possible.

I had a consult- took a break and I’m back on track now with my first appointment in the coming days. My mind is ready and happy.

They had a coupon for the consultation. Checking their website is awesome. Sometimes they offer discounts. That was helpful considering we jus moved from overseas and were caring for my parents. Some of it will be covered by my insurance, which helps a lot. He is in network.

I think Dr.McCoy does the best he can considering he gives devastating news to his patients. There is no easy way to tell someone that they have problems conceiving or that they can’t conceive at all. There is no way to sugar coat something like that. I feel like when he told my wife and I he wasn’t blunt or cold, he did the best he could to make sure we understood everything that was going on with us and what options we had. We’re thankful for having him as our doctor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Fertility issues are more common than most people think. It’s just not talked about enough. Go see Dr.McCoy with an open mind and trust his work. He’s there to help.

We are doing IVF. He explained how my wife will have to first be on birth control for a few weeks to control her menstrual cycle so the doctors know when to retrieve the eggs but not before going a few weeks of getting hormone shots. One of the stategies he explained was that the embrios would be frozen for a month before doing the transfer to give my wife’s body time to get clean it’s self and get rid of some of those extra hormones and in exchange that would increase the chances of success, we were very pleased to hear that. Once the transfer is done he explained that it would take around 11 days to be able to tell if she is pregnant or not. He explained the whole process in detail, alot better than I can right now.

We haven’t paid yet

My wife and I at first thought we would ne doing a multitude embryo transfer. Dr.McCoy explained that he would rather do a single embryo transfer because there is a probability of conceiving twins and because my wife has never been pregnant before it would be safer to reduce the risk of having twins because we don’t not know how her body will react to the pregnancy. He explained that having twins could have a risk of complications during the pregnancy. Considering that, it made sense for us to agree with his logic even though we wouldn’t of mind having twins.

Dr. McCoy was very attentive I never felt rushed or concerned that he might have somewhere else to be. He effectively communicated all options, risks, health outcomes, financial and timeline concerns. He was the first doctor to effectively communicate my medical limitations and offer options in a respectful manner that would result in the best chance for a healthy pregnancy.

Feel free to ask any questions! No question is silly or disrespectful. Also, trust that Dr. McCoy can provide you with his best medical recommendation.

I completed a serious of labs that provided us with results that my egg quality was poor. Based on this information he offered me options to try an IVF cycle with my eggs or a donor and predicted statistics for success.

For a silver level egg donor 18,000.00

Dr. McCoy talked to us, in the beginning, about how everything works and he didn't sugar coat anything. He gave us the information about how successful this process is and at the same time seemed exited for the outcome it could bring. He was very respectful and was always there to answer questions.

It can be a long journey, but it's well worth it. Don't give up hope and trust the doctors at PREG. They care and know what they are doing.

I had to take a course of injections and oral medications to get ready for egg retrieval. We did the egg retrieval along with creating the embryos. We did 4 cycles total. The first one was a fresh embryo transfer and the other 3 were frozen embryo transfers. We tried one single transfer the first two times and then the other two times were two embryos. They did testing to check for different things after the first miscarriage.

For the initial IVF procedure it was between 12,000 and 15,000. The frozen embryo transfers it was between 3,500 and 4,000.

Dr. McCoy recommended single embry transfer, but gave us the option to do multiple (two) embryo transfer.

He is understanding, compassionate and honest about the difficulties we face with conceiving. He is easy to get a hold of when needed and responsive to all questions/concerns. He is understanding of the restrictions of my job and works with me to make my cycles possible while continuing to work.

Be sure and ask questions about how your treatment plan s tailored to you. Dr. McCoy is great at explaining this!

IVF cycle: I have low ovarian reserve so my injection dosages where adjusted to try and stimulate as many follicles as possible. My husband unfortunately does not produce sperm so when he underwent testicular exploration to look for sperm, Dr. McCoy advised us to have a backup donor for my IVF cycle. I was closely monitored throughout the cycle with ultrasounds and my retrieval date was moved forward based on my progress. Unfortunately, our single fertilized egg arrested so I could not undergo embryo transfer. IUI: I was placed on high dose and prolonged course of letrozole in conjunction with Gonal F injection x3. Once again this was for my low ovarian reserve and trying to stimulate follicles. My first IUI was unsuccessful and I just completed my second insemination.

My insurance covers much of my fertility treatment costs. Office visit copays are usually less than $50. My IVF cycle was ~$4K upfront and IVF medications were ~$6K. I pay nearly nothing for the IUI cycles.

N/A

Dr McCoy was extremely knowledgeable about endometriosis and my chances of conception. He was very kind and not at all condescending while explaining what was happening to me hormonally. He reassured me with a plan of action that he wrote down for me to follow, including hormonal medications and drawings of what my uterus was going through vs where we want it to be. He gently informed me I’ll eventually need more surgery and explained that he doesn’t take my insurance but that it might pay to just buy a plan for 1 month to make it at least somewhat affordable, since no other surgeon in this area is quite as specialized as him when it comes to good endometriosis removal results. I walked out of the room feeling well informed, cared for, and in control.

Bring a notebook!

He said I don’t need to come back until the moment we are ready to start trying

He said I can’t afford his endometriosis surgery with my insurance that he doesn’t take, and suggested I buy some if I want to see him for the surgery. He has the best results in the area and I don’t want to have to travel out of state.

N/A

We only met with Dr. McCoy once because we're just beginning infertility treatment. He identified and conducted a surgery that helped with our unique situation (my wife has two ovaries) and we'd have no complaints about the results. However we're just about to begin IVF so not sure what the future holds for us!

Ask questions! Leave with a plan in place.

Looking at all our factors, age, endometriosis, two ovaries, etc. Dr. McCoy looked at all options outside of IVF to give us a chance and was very helpful at giving us percentages. Based on our previous experiences, he made helpful recommendations and the pros and cons of whether to move forward with IVF or not. I appreciate his open mind.

We've just begun the process. It does seem like the charges are high for some appointments, but obviously they factor in that insurance will reduce it.

He was very knowledgeable in my medical concerns and gave his honest opinion of what treatment he thinks will work best. He wasn’t pushy with his recommendation and wasn’t irritated or annoyed with my notebook full of questions.

To be open minded and positive. Infertility is a sensitive issue. Trust his judgement but also listen to your gut. You know your body better than anyone else.

When we first met we had to test out my hug from my ectopic. We then started with letrozole once it was determined I was t ovulating due to irregular periods. An HSG was preformed to ensure my fallopian gives weren’t blocked and it was confirmed they were open and my uterus appeared in good shape. I took letrozole for four cycles with timed intercourse. A trigger shot was administered on the third cycle. We took a break this month and will try again in December. We have not fallen pregnant yet but we are extremely hopeful

We are currently $2000 or so in and have more treatments since we are not yet pregnant

Dr McCoy is a very intelligent man, but doesn't treat you like you're just some number to him. He is caring and compassionate. He takes time to listen to you and your concerns. You definitely do not feel rushed to get out of his office. He answers all questions and gives you hope to your situation. He's a very busy provider and his schedule proves that, but you don't get that sense of rush when you are in front of him. He is also a top notch surgeon who gave me hope when several other providers only had bad news. I had to go into surgery to fix one issue, but he made sure to check other things out in there to prevent having to go back in later.

He is very busy, so be patient. He is worth the wait.

Clomid and Letrozole to treat my anovulation. Then we discovered that my husband probably hadale infertility. That was analyized and he was give the same medications. We have been through 2 IUIs that were unsuccessful. Taking a break at this time due to finances.

While I had insurance, I didn't have to pay anything other than copay. Once we lost insurance, we had to pay $475 up front for both IUI procedures.

Dr. McCoy was very detailed, showed his experience in his field, explained in detail about the process and what to expect, good or bad. He also used paper to draw things out to clarify even more, to be sure my partner and I understood everything in front of us.

Lay it all out for him. Tell him EXACTLY what you want.

I do not remember the exact protocol.

The cost for the IUI was expensive for me, but I TRULY want to be a mother so I used my savings to pay for it out of pocket because my insurance doesn't cover it. Also, the donor sperm is much more expensive. I have 2 best friends that I have been previously sexually active with years ago, that agreed to be my sperm donor, but I'm not very clear on what happened with that. It would have been more cost efficient for me.

I liked Dr. McCoy as a person and a doctor, but I didn't feel he was super aggressive about treating my infertility, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. He allowed my husband and I to steer the course through our fertility treatments, but a little more guidance may have been helpful at times.

If you want to actually see Dr. McCoy at a visit, make sure to request that. At 75% of my appointments/procedures I saw a different doctor or a nurse, but I was never told before I came that he wouldn't be present.

We used Femara on its own for several cycles. My previous doctor had only used Clomid, so he wanted to see how I responded to Femara. We did four cycles of IUI with the injectables, but no Femara, as he said the Femara would not make a difference. All cycles failed.

The costs I incurred were reasonable for the treatments received.

Dr McCoy was always personable and eager to answer all of our questions. He was super knowledgeable - especially about male fertility and sperm retrieval processes (which we had to utilize due to my husbands nerve damage). He was very caring and spoke to use using lay-terms, not medical terms we didn't understand.

Don't be afraid to ask questions - this was all new to us and he was very patient with us and our million questions!

My husband had to have a sperm retrieval procedure. Then I was put on a series of hormone injections to produce a usable number of eggs (I have PCOS, so my number of eggs was never a problem). The eggs were removed and embryo's were developed. Due to my increased level of hormones still in my system, the viable embryos (3) were frozen until my next menstrual cycle. I was then implanted with the 2 most viable embryo's - both of which were successful! I successfully carried 2 girls until the week 20 - when I went into labor. Both girls were born vaginally, but neither survived.

Total cost was about $15,000 for sperm removal procedure, egg retrieval, embryo development and embryo transfer - and ALL medications for both me and my husband.

We requested both viable embryo's be transferred due to our age - we wanted a better chance of implantation.

When we first started at PREG with Dr McCoy we left feeling very positive however every visit thereafter I feel like they were less than thrilled to see us, never remembered us by name and sometimes we had appointments two or three times a week. My medication pretty much remained the same every cycle with no success cycle after cycle, when asked about moving to the next step of IUI was told it was not much different than doing what we were already doing, but if we wanted we could give it a try. I had to ask for labs to be drawn for my AMH and FSH levels and base line labs. Unfortunately after 10 failed cycles and real no explanation as to why, we decided to seek treatment elsewhere.

Ask every question you can possibly think of, be an advocate of your infertility.

I was started on femara only then after a few cycles of no success the trigger shot ovidrel was added then after a few cycles of no success prednisone was added. Unfortunately none of my cycles ended with success. He diagnosed me with PCOS, tubal blockage and anoovulation. The femara was to due to anoovulation the prednisone was for the PCOS and the ovidrel was to make me ovulate.

Follicle scan was $182 consultation was $150 all my medications were bought at my local pharmacy or through freedom fertility pharmacy

My doctor has been forthcoming with me about everything I am up against and has dotted every "I" and crossed every "t." So far I have had surgery under him, he has diagnosed me with several issues that allow him to know how to treat me, and he has explained very well my next steps that are leading me toward IVF.

He is a wonderful doctor!

Upon my first appointment in September of 2016, after having had a second miscarriage (and my regular OB didn't even check to make sure everything was cleared)...After just fifteen min of talking to me he knew something wasn't right and did a vaginal ultrasound that very day. He discovered something in my uterus and a hysteroscopy was performed in October to remove it. He also did blood work that very day to diagnose me with low ovarian function and Antiphospholipid syndrome which is a blood clotting disorder. Once I was cleared from my hysteroscopy...I started letrozol rounds in November . I did produce follicles ....But in January after two negative rounds he added injections of Ovedrel to my regimin. After experiencing a fee more negatives he had my husband's sample tested. After it was discovered my husband was fine- he is advising me to have a consultation on IVF due to suspicion that I may have low egg quality due to my miscarriage history and the fact that while the medicine produces multiple follicles -i have still be unable to get pregnant. I still owe all the diagnosis that I have received to him. My regular OB told me I was fine and that I would have to go through another miscarriage before they would even test me via bloodwork ! I am glad I know what I am up against now !!

I don't want to list costs ....But in my state infertility treatments (ivf, etc) are not covered by insurance. The best thing is that when I have an appointment I pay my co pay and that covers whatever my doctor does that visit whether it is an ultrasound or bloodwork. There are no extra fees and I like that . The office is great about doing discounts too

I went to him because I had heard nothing but great reviews. I worked as a high risk obstetric nurse and my patients spoke the world of him. When my husband and I decided to see a fertility specialist I did not want to see anyone else. He was everything my patients told me about him and more. He was so caring but at the same time realistic. When he felt it was no longer a good option for our goal of becoming pregnant he would tell us. He would still give us the option to continue what we were doing or to move to the next step. I would never question if he was wanting us to change due to he could make more money. My heart knew he felt this was the best choices for us. He was was there a doctor,as well as, a support person. When I would leave crying after any further complications or bad news he was there to help me through what ever was going on at the time. When we decided it was time to step away from infertility treatments for a while he supported us and promised he would do anything to help us when we were ready to return. I would recommend him to anyone and have recommended him to many people since, who have all felt the same.

Be open to him and let him listen to your story.

He started out with femara. The first few cycle days then I would come for ultrasounds to measure the number of follicles and sizes. At that point he would instruct me to admister a trigger shot and would instruct us to have timed intercourse every other day based on when the shot was given. I would take a pregnancy test at the time of my period and call back with results. We repeated this several month due to I had responded well to the femara. Later we did the same thing but instead of time intercourse we did IUI which followed the same procedure.

I had insurance that had fertility coverage. I do not remember the exact costs with or without my insurance. It was very reasonable with my insurance.

We did not experience this due to we did not have IVF.
