]]> Comment on Our IVF Success by Angela and Justin http://blog.fertilitycentermi.com/2008/04/15/our-ivf-success/#comment-1025 Angela and Justin Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:36:40 +0000 http://mireproductive-blog.ddmnet.com/2008/04/15/my-first-test-entry/#comment-1025 As I sit here writing this, I am amazed and grateful for the science, dedication, and kindness that everyone at the Fertility Center has shown us for the past six months. Our process was three years long from the time we decided we wanted kids, to discovering that it would be nearly impossible without medical intervention, to several rounds of Clomid, an unsuccessful fresh transfer, and finally a successful frozen transfer resulting in twins! There were many times where I thought it just wasn't meant to be, but with the encouragement of the doctors and a sense of hope, my husband and I decided to not give up so easily. After hearing their two strong heartbeats, seeing their arms and legs, and experiencing the joy of two babies developing, I am so glad that we tried again. People would ask why we were putting ourselves through all the emotions again after failing the first time--everything, every step of this journey, has been worth it to get here. Thank you for our two amazing Christmas presents!

You are truely the best. We first came to you in May of 2008 and after going through the process and being delayed because of your office move (lol) we did the retrieval and transfer in August of 2008, Being the 2nd couple to have this done at your NEW location, and our FIRST attempt at IVF it was succuessful. It was kind of a slow go at first, but now our baby is growing just fine, I am 26 weeks and 4 days now and our baby is due May 11, 2009. This is my husbands first child and we couldn't be happier. Your entire staff was so great with everything they did for us, the honesty and respect we received allowed us to relax and trust your skills. I am so thankful to have been refered to your office. I would highly recommend any person wanting another baby after a tubal ligation (like me) to try IVF at your office. Its the best feeling to see that little baby on the ultrasound screen after thinking your not going to have any more children because of a tubal ligation. What you do for people is really a special gift you have and I want to say thank you for sharing it with us! I will be sending you a picture of our baby as soon as she is born!!

For us it didnt work but it ultimately led to us forming our family through the miracle of adoption. Now I see that our journey through infertility, as painful as it was, led us to our son. We were at his birth and have an open adoption. Now we wouldnt have it any other way. We can honestly say we're grateful for the inability to conceive because we wouldnt have our precious son. He is the light of our lives. Thank you to Dr. Dodds and their staff for all they did to help us try to conceive.

We are very excited about this because of our extremely great success in the past! We had tried several IUIs without success and then decided to take a break. But we kept thinking about the possibility of IVF and after much prayer and consideration we decided to try it. After some complications in the beginning, we found out that I was pregnant with twins on our first attempt. Wow! it was truly amazing. I went full term for twins and gave birth to healthy baby girls, 6lbs. 1oz. & 7lbs. 14oz. Three years later we deciced to try again with our remaining 6 frozen embryos. The FET went very smoothly. We used two of our remaining embryos and gave birth to one healthy 9lb. 1oz. baby girl! Which leads us to our 3rd attempt (2nd FET), which we pray will also be a success! We are truly thankful to Dr. Dodds and Dr. Young for their expertise and knowledge of infertlity and for their great kindness and compassion in every step of the process. We were truly blessed in our experience at this place and we thank God every day for our three beautiful girls! Tommorrow I will start my shots for our 2nd FET!

Then we had two cancelled IVF cycles with another RE who told us the only option left was egg donation, but he didn't have a program. We were just about ready to quit but saw Dr. Dodds because we'd heard great things about his practice. Dr. Dodds said he still had ideas and thought it was too early for us to give up on IVF. Sure enough, we got pregnant on our first cycle with him. From the moment he looked us in the eye and said I still believe you can do this, we knew we were in the right place! The whole office gives a feeling of relaxed confidence and hope. More than one person in that office spontaneously told us how happy they are to work for Drs. Dodds and Young, and believe me it makes a difference in your experience as a patient!! Every single person in that practice is just as kind and caring as you could ever hope. We never had a phone call or question that went unanswered. They can explain any part of the process, no matter how complex, in terms you can understand. They could not have been more supportive and committed to our success if we'd been their own family members. We owe our eternal gratitude to everybody there (Sandy, you too especially!!), and we'll see you for our remaining two embryos as soon as we can!
