YOUR FUTURE FERTILITY.
FAMILY IS OUR PRACTICE
We’re PREG, the largest network of fertility centers in the Carolinas. Helping you expand your family isn’t just what we love to do, it’s part of who we are. We’re a family, both at home and at work, of doctors, nurses, scientists, technicians, and administrators, all dedicated to helping you realize your dream of family. Whether you’re a couple struggling to conceive, an individual wanting to start a family, a member of the LGBTQ community, or not quite ready for parenthood but want to explore your future fertility options, we’re here for you. Our patient-centered approach to care ensures that we meet you where you are and together we’ll develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
You’re individual and unique. Helping you understand the subtlety of your own cycle is both empowering and the first step in answering why and how when approaching fertility treatment.
You’re not alone – 1 in 8 couples experience difficulty achieving pregnancy. What could be going on? Why does age matter? When should I seek treatment? We’re here to help you answer these questions.
Men may be the simpler part of the equation, but their evaluation isn’t to be overlooked. Whether you need to make sure everything is okay or tackle an already identified case of complex male infertility, we’re ready.
The recommended approach to infertility testing is more straightforward than you may think. Helping you understand why the tests are important and what your results mean is step one.
It’s hard to think of a more frustrating and disheartening condition, but the prognosis is much more favorable than you might realize. We’re here to guide you through its evidence-based evaluation.
How do you know if you have a fertility problem? What should you do if you suspect you have a problem?
thoughtful, individualized
FERTILITY CARE
If you suspect you have a problem with infertility, you have many options to consider. This is not a hopeless road. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure you achieve the result you want.
IUI is one of the most non-invasive ways to get pregnant. The medications are typically pretty minimal, the effort involved is fairly quick, and the result can be the child you’ve been waiting for.
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, is a complex series of procedures that is used to treat infertility issues in patients who are struggling to conceive.
Are you overwhelmed by all of the things you need to do to get pregnant or pursue your baby? Does even the name of this page sound impossible to understand? No need to worry. We will help you every step of the way.
If you are interested in pursuing fertility treatments, but want to do so with less medication, then Minimal IVF might be a good option for you.
It’s a simple, yet personal, approach to the journey of parenthood. Simply IVF is a tremendous advancement in treatment with multiple benefits to patients.
Onco-fertility is simply any fertility service provided to a recently diagnosed cancer patient who wants to explore options for having future children.
Thanks to exciting advances in science and technology, cryopreservation or the freezing of a woman’s eggs is now available to help preserve fertility.
Have you had your tubes tied (tubal ligation) after a previous pregnancy and now seek to be pregnant again? If the answer is yes, then having a tubal reversal may be the best way to achieve that.
PESA is a minor procedure in which sperm is aspirated (with the use of a small needle) from the area of the testicle where sperm is stored (epididymis).
Women who are unable to produce eggs of their own, carry a genetic disorder or have poor egg quality are encouraged to explore the option of the egg (oocyte) donation program at PREG.
PREG is now offering a new service providing the ability for our current patients to anonymously donate their embryos to PREG.

Words of hope from our
THRIVING COMMUNITY
Dr. Tarnawa is the best! We cannot possibly praise him enough! He is kind, thorough, attentive and super educated! We’re so grateful for him and will travel miles upon miles to be under his care and expertise.
My husband and I cannot thank PREG Spartanburg enough for what they did for us. The experience we had with them was simply amazing. We will forever recommend PREG to others.
We had a fabulous physician here (Dr. McCoy) who really listened to us and provided us with an excellent treatment plan to help us build our family. When you’re in an appointment with Dr. McCoy you really do feel like his only patient. Staff are so kind and responsive-it doesn’t matter what department they are in. The nursing staff is very compassionate and thorough in answering any questions, and the administrative staff are cheery and always helpful. When you’re in need of a Reproductive Endocrinologist every piece of your team matters. We felt supported and encouraged every step of the way. Thanks to PREG we were blessed with our beautiful daughter. We can’t wait to work with them again.
I am so thankful for PREG and all the staff there. After trying to conceive for 2 years unsuccessfully, I was able to get pregnant through our first attempt at IVF. Dr. Tarnawa and Courtney make an amazing team. They calmed all my nerves and answered all my questions promptly! Phone calls are ALWAYS returned if not answered right away. There was always a smiling face at the front desk, and Jen does an amazing job with blood draws…always got it on the first stick, no problem. We drove 2 hours one way to get to this clinic and am so glad we did. I have zero complaints all around. Our first consult with Dr. Tarnawa was July 28, and now my baby’s due date is July 28 one year later! I wish I could stay with them throughout my entire pregnancy! I will definetly be back when we are ready for baby #2.
“Dr. Nichols and Dr. Payne are just the best there are. Period. The professionalism shown by each staff member is so personal. Our fertility journey totaled over 13 years resulting with a 12 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. We did procedures from medications all the way to IVF and I wouldn’t trust anyone else but the sta and doctors at Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group.”
I cannot say enough about the professionalism and quality of the care I received as a patient at PREG. Dr. Tarnawa and his team went above and beyond to ensure our experience was smooth, from start to finish.
As a physician, I take pride in referring to other physicians who I know will provide excellent care for my patients. With that in mind, I will be referring patients to Dr. Tarnawa because of his incomparable expertise in the field and because of the amazing first hand experience I had as his patient. All great medical practices have exceptional staff. This is definitely the case at PREG. The climate in the office is warm and comforting and each member of the team exudes hope and positivity.
I wish the PREG Lowcountry team continued success and all the best for what I know is a promising future. My husband and I are forever grateful for how you have impacted our family.
Happy Valentine’s Day from Levi and Livie, our PREG miracles! Something special about these two: We heard Levi’s heartbeat for the first time on their daddy‘s birthday, and we transferred Livie on our wedding Anniversary! ❤️ we love Dr. Nichols and our PREG fam
I want to thank y’all so much for everything y’all did for us. We will always be so grateful for Dr McCoy and all the wonderful staff.
This is our little miracle Emersyn!! She was born September 25th, 2021 from IVF. My wife and I are so in love with her! She loves to listen to music, suck her thumb and giggle! We are beyond thankful to PREG for helping us have our perfect angel!
So thankful for our sweet miracle, Drake. We knew we were going to be blessed, but didn’t know how BLESSED. He is the light of our life and not sure what we did before him. Thank you @pregonline for making our dreams come true!
“Our 3 PREG miracles! IVF cycle 5 years ago gave great quality 4 embryos. Our first transfer blessed us with our 4 year old twins! Our second transfer, one embryo of the two transferred stuck, and we had our 3rd child, a sweet little boy 7 weeks ago!! We are so thankful for PREG and all that you all made possible and the beautiful family we have been blessed with!! We couldn’t have done it without Dr. McCoy who we regularly saw and Dr. Payne who did our transfers and the retrieval procedure. And Monte-Anne and Kelsey who took such great care of us through our failed IUIs and then IVF! And the whole team was wonderful again when we did our FET cycle last December and January!”
Hello Catherine!!
Skylar was welcomed into this world on Thursday 10/22/2020, 4:18 pm, 6 lb 13 oz, 21 inches long. I cannot thank you all enough for making this possible for us. Truly and thoroughly an absolute miracle. There is not enough thanks in the world I can express for your role in beginning this life.
We are so thankful for PREG and all they have done to help us grow our little family! We have the two sweetest little boys thanks to you all! Everyone in the Greenville office is kind and welcoming; just what we needed as we battled through infertility! We recommend y’all to anyone we talk to! We started out at a fertility center in Atlanta and after months there, we came to y’all and just felt so at peace! Everyone there was so kind! We particularly love Dr. Payne and Ms. Jackie! Thank you for these blessings!
I want to share with everyone at PREG the beautiful miracle y’all have given us! We just found out today what we are having. Its a boy!!! Words cannot explain how blessed we feel to have been able to get through this with the wonderful staff we encountered at the Greenville office. Thank you so much! God bless each and every one of y’all for what you do !!! Simply IVF was our light to hope!
“I just want to tell everyone at Preg of Greenville, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We tried for 3 years to have our second child and were referred to y’all by our obgyn! Best decision ever! We were immediately treated like family and I have recommended several family and friends to this group because of the care you gave! Without y’all and God, of course, we wouldn’t have our sweet miracle Emsley Kathleen. Her father, big brother, and myself cannot express how grateful we are !!! Miracles do come true !”
Seven years. For seven years, we prayed for this miracle baby. Our journey with PREG was beautiful and planned perfectly by God. We knew IVF was our only option. We could not afford the procedure when we first went to PREG. So, we waited, and God, who is so incredibly faithful, provided in the most beautiful way. Mommy, Daddy, big brother, and big sister are so incredibly thankful for our sweet, beautiful baby boy, for our good, good Father, and for PREG!! Happy Thanksgiving friends!!
After multiple miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, failed IVF, and years of infertility we were told my wife would be unable to have a baby of our own. By the grace of God and with the help of Dr. McCoy, Lindsay, and the entire PREG staff a last ditch effort to conceive gave us the baby we had been dreaming of for so long. Little did we know this would only be the start of our journey and that this little boy may have saved my wife’s life. Thank you God and thank you PREG.
