March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

Did you know that endometriosis affects about 176 million women (or 10%) worldwide? 24 to 50% of women who experience infertility have endometriosis.
This fertility health issue happens when cells or tissues similar to the tissues that form the uterine lining relocate and begin to grow outside the uterus. Endometriosis can grow in and on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, and other organs of the pelvic cavity.
It takes on average 7.5 years from when #endometriosis symptoms start to get a proper diagnosis.
This is why awareness is so important.💕

A sweet FINA baby and his family’s story…

We recently received this sweet picture along with this patient’s FINA story. We absolutely love what we do and the wonderful families we get to come alongside.💕

“Happy New Year from our family of three! We couldn’t be more grateful for FINA.
We had our first visit in June 2022 and after some initial testing, we started medicated cycles in September 2022. We continued to do medicated cycles each month until March 2023 when we moved forward with our first IUI. Every staff member greets you with a smile and works to make each visit a positive one. We’re so thankful for everyone at FINA! It truly was bittersweet once we became pregnant and began seeing a normal OB knowing we wouldn’t be coming back each week.
An extra special thank you to Kendra for always being so positive and supportive!”

My FINA story

“I transferred my eggs here from NoVa when we moved. The process was super seamless. We got pregnant on my 2nd transfer and couldn’t be happier. Fertility is such a hard topic and the staff made it less stressful. They have an app that is super helpful and the staff are very responsive by phone, email, and within the app. Scheduling appointments was very easy. Joan and Kendra are absolute rockstars for all the ultrasounds and check in appointments. Dr. Davenport really built out a wonderful staff. He was always kind and flexible with me and planning out the next steps in my treatment. I would recommend this facility.”
Thank you for sharing your FINA story. We are honored that you chose us to come alongside you on this journey. 💗

Each fertility journey is unique.💗

“I highly recommend FINA in any fertility journey situation. They are patient, kind, respectful, and supportive. We had 4 early miscarriages over the course of 1 year and had decided it was time to speak to a specialist. We were referred to Dr. Davenport at FINA by my gynecologist.
We went through two IVF cycles and one embryo transfer and were not able conceive. When we decided to stop trying for genetic children, I also had an open myomectomy with Dr. Davenport to remove fibroids from my uterus in preparation for embryo adoption this summer through a bank in Knoxville, TN. I say all that to point out that even though we were not successful in conceiving through FINA, we felt cared for and understood with our fertility journey. We appreciated the attention to detail from Dr. Davenport and we appreciated the continued support from the staff (including the hugs and kind words during difficult moments). We know they were just as disappointed as we were/are.
That said, we have been fully supported in our pursuit of embryo adoption and will continue to use FINA for our local checkups during the process. God is good, even when the answer is “no” and we know FINA operates under the same understanding. Thankful for a place that protects life at all stages.”
Thank you so much to our patient for sharing her #FINAstory . We appreciate you so much!

A patient’s FINA story ♥

We are so thankful to this thoughtful patient for sharing her story, even 2 years later! Experiences like this make us so happy!
“It’s been almost 2 years since seeing Dr. Davenport but never too late to give a review. Dr. Davenport is heaven sent and so is the staff. Coming from trying numerous years to get pregnant, I am thankful for this office. We looked everywhere for answers as to why we could not get pregnant.
After seeing Dr. Davenport, he informed us there was no issue and with a little bit of assistance, we got our miracle baby. I found out I was pregnant August 2019 with our beautiful daughter.
After finding out, I hugged Dr. Davenport and replied, “you did it”. He instantly replied back, “no, God did it”.
This is how you know you are in great hands! I speak highly of this clinic and refer everyone who ever felt like they had any issues. If I could give 10 stars, I wouldn’t hesitate.” ❤

Getting Started on your Fertility Journey

If you’ve been thinking about taking that first step, we encourage you to go ahead and reach out! You can either call us at 256-217-9613 or visit our website to set up your first consultation.
A couple’s first visit will consist of a consultation with Dr. Davenport. It is at this time that Dr. Davenport will gain a full understanding of your history, and you and Dr. Davenport will decide upon the best treatment plan for you. We encourage both spouses to be present at this visit, although we understand that this is not always possible.
At FINA, we will submit the charges for office visits, labs, ultrasounds, and procedures to your insurance company. Our staff will confirm what services are covered by your insurance, but we encourage all of our patients to verify their coverage as well.
If you do not have insurance or prefer that we do not file your fertility treatment with your insurance company, we offer cash pay packages for your visits. For those services that are not covered by insurance, we try to make them as affordable to you as possible. In these cases, we bundle services together in order to discount the overall cost to you.
Our fertility clinic is designed to personally assist you through this journey. Though you may feel anxious, we are here to walk this journey with you. ❤️
