A patient shares her journey to motherhood…

Each fertility journey is unique. One patient shares her journey to motherhood…
“I came to FINA feeling completely hopeless. After months at another clinic, a failed retrieval, and learning that I was in ovarian failure at 30 years old: it was a last ditch effort to have a family. A friend referred me, and I didn’t have high hopes, but I wasn’t ready to give up. FINA was immediately different than my previous experience. Dr. D and his staff talked to me like a person and not a checkbook or a chart number. Dr. D told me he would never make promises, but he thought it was worth a shot.
I had two retrievals, yielding 9 genetically normal embryos, which was nothing short of a miracle. Unfortunately, we then learned that had basically no endometrial lining, and would likely never be able to sustain a pregnancy. I chose to utilize a gestational carrier. Mine and my husband’s embryo was transferred to our gestational carrier, and on November 16, 2023 we welcomed the most perfect baby boy. I will forever be grateful to the staff at FINA for, against all odds, helping to make me a mother.”❤

One patient’s fertility journey to twins…

Here is one patient’s fertility journey to twins.💕 We are so thankful to have been part of her story.
“We had a miscarriage in 2011 and after we tried to have another baby for 10 years. We got pregnant again in 2021 but again we lost the baby. I found FINA online and talked to my husband about it and we decided to call and give them a try.
So in November of 2021 we had our first appointment with FINA. The staff at FINA was so kind and helpful. Dr. Davenport did all test and told us that we had unexplained infertility. He advised us to do an IUI. We had the IUI done in February and we were blessed with twins! They are now a year old and we are so thankful that we found FINA! Thank you so much!”

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss awareness

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. This is a time when we can show support to the many families who have suffered such a tragic loss.
While child loss may be a more common occurrence than people think, there are still far too many families that face the devastating moments alone, desperate for support before, during or after the loss of a baby.
To all the families who have experienced this loss, we are so sorry. You are loved and supported, and your baby will never be forgotten.❤️

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!🌸

This annual health campaign helps to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer and helps educate women on why early screening and testing is so very important.

If you haven’t already, don’t forget to schedule your mammogram with your primary care provider or OB/GYN!
