I wanted to provide an objective assessment, free from feelings of resentment, irritation, and severe financial loss. Every woman's reproductive journey is different and unique; some succeed in getting pregnant, while others must accept the fact that they will never have children, which I entirely understand. However, my experience with Dr. Gentry was completely a financial loss; I am aware that age is a major role in fertility, thus therefore was prepared for all physical and emotional possibilities.
after 6 months of taking a break brought by moving to Jacksonville, Florida, and with careful research , my spouse and I "thought" FIRM was it. But we didn't succeed in letting their strategy work for us.
Although, they failed to perform blood work, maximize our egg quantity considering our age, omitted to check my levels, and missed an "ENTIRE" cycle by miscalculating and "office closure" due to holiday, despite their claims that FIRM is open seven days a week. Dr. Gentry took my year and half old records and didn't follow up on the information provided, just a 1st & 8th day cycle Sonogram before the procedure.
Due to poor timing and unprepared sperm, they drastically restricted my possibilities by starting the process 24 hours in advance and using the average window of opportunity by the 26-36 hour mark. What a financial loss, especially if you are aware of your body. The trigger time in the evening should have been followed by a 12-hour wait before returning the following morning at 7 am for the IUI operation. Due to our advanced age, this was fully clarified after multiple consultations in New York City. Prior to relocating to Jacksonville, Florida, we were patients at RMA of New York & NYU for reproductive, where the staff was incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. They also carefully considered options and made suggestions for our age group. Sadly, because of my wife's health issues we decided to move forward with myself here in Jax. We're to blame for missing the details that made us feel confident.
Firmed carried out three IUIs, two of which were unsuccessful and one of which was missed owing to an error in calculation; however, they charged for a whole useless appointment. Dr. Gentry was aware of my 28-day cycle and it's consistent with an ovulation 4 days after she was absolutely oblivious (lol, can't make this stuff up). She might've been dealing with stress, perhaps exhausted, or any number of other things. However, On our third month "second" IUI, Dr. Gentry failed to reassure us, apologize for her error, and support her patient. Instead, she said "crossed fingers" and left the room with a robotic good luck.
I strongly advise seeing multiple fertility Dr's and making a knowledgeable, thorough investigation and make sure they are aligned with the energy you seek to take this journey with. I'm disappointed that we were unsuccessful yet again. I didn't feel optimistic or like we had any possibility of success the entire time we were with Gentry. Unfortunately, we had to continue with her since we had the sperm delivered ahead of time. We attempted to modify the location, but they made it clear that neither was available and they dislike switching doctors.
Overall, you might be a good fit for DrGentry! I strongly believe that the FIRMS strategy is advantageous for young adults. But for a lot of women over 35, "TIMING" is important. Every practice is different, and my wife and I are aware of this. In any case, this was what we encountered. Everyone has my well wishes for a wonderful journey and I'm sending them baby dust!
