IVF Success Stories: Shari 33

After a decade- a fateful meeting brought us to our second child – Shari 33

With my first pregnancy being almost 10 years prior, we didn’t think it would be an issue when we wanted to have another child. Initially we thought we would just wait a few years, but then life just took over and suddenly it was several years that had passed.

We know life doesn’t always go according to your plan, but it just seemed nothing was happening in that department.

We let it go, thinking when our lives were ready it would happen for us. I had been on the pill for many years and was scared that it may have interfered with conceiving later on, when I was older in my 30’s.

But after a decade we decided to see a specialist. As we didn’t know how or where to start. We had asked my long time OBGYN and gotten an HCG test to check for a tubal blockage or other issues, but that turned out normal. She suggested it may be timing or stress induced. My husband said to have faith and we seemed to accept our fate.

I actually bumped into an old school friend who was ecstatic and very pregnant. I was happy for her, but couldn’t help feeling the emotions from failing to conceive. She asked if we had planned on having another child, maybe a boy this time as we had a girl. I had to admit our issues, and it all came out. As therapeutic as it was for me, I didn’t expect her to say she also had issues with her second child. She then said she went to Dr. Hope, whose named seemed to fit, and it seemed this meeting was our fate.

After just one cycle of IVF with assisted IVF fertility meds (Ganirelix injections and Estrace) and a single embryo transfer, I am happy to say we are 7 months pregnant! Our experience couldn’t have been better, we prepared ourselves by reading up on their websites information and the clear information presented there really helped soothe our nerves going in. I felt the customer service at IVFPrescriptions.com was very supportive and were there 24 hours a day for any questions and they were honest in the financial side so I didn’t have to stress over any surprises!

We are expecting the best gift ever this fall, thanks to that fateful meeting and that magic referral!
