IVF Testimonial

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.267 Our journey was, I guess, surprising for me 00:00:03.333 --> 00:00:08.734 because we have never had trouble getting pregnant. 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.967 We had three boys together before trying for a fourth, 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:23.100 and we tried for 2 years on our own, and it was an emotional roller coaster. 00:00:23.167 --> 00:00:27.133 The most challenging part, I would say, about our fertility journey 00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:32.094 was the amount of transfers we had to do before we were successful. 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.533 We came in here, obviously, having had three healthy children before 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:40.054 and so I thought it was going to be a simple fix. 00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:42.433 I thought that we were going to get pregnant on the first try, 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.000 and it actually took us four transfers. 00:00:46.433 --> 00:00:50.967 I think that the emotional element of going through IVF 00:00:51.033 --> 00:00:53.633 and having your hopes up and then waiting and waiting 00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:56.774 and it failing and then just going through 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.533 that cycle multiple times was really difficult. 00:00:59.933 --> 00:01:03.894 The staff here, I would say every time that they had 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.800 to deliver bad news, we're so compassionate, 00:01:06.867 --> 00:01:10.160 and they would text me to check up on me. 00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:14.233 Dr. Kalan would call me personally, and it just meant so much 00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:18.454 that they partnered with me not only in the treatment, 00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:20.467 but in the emotional element, too. 00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:27.467 I think that he is probably the most humble doctor I've ever met 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.700 and generous with his time.
