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.”
