Reproductive Medicine Testimonial

Description

In this reproductive medicine testimonial, our patient explains that she was near 40 and wanted another child. Many doctors told her she was too old to grow her family, but Los Angeles Reproductive Center was able to help her achieve pregnancy. She recommends our services, and recommends being patient with yourself if you want to undergo fertility treatment.

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:11.400 I think my fertility journey is probably a little bit unique 00:00:11.467 --> 00:00:13.610 from some other people who come through here. 00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:15.967 But if I had to put in its most simple terms, 00:00:16.433 --> 00:00:17.900 I was about to turn 40 00:00:17.967 --> 00:00:20.067 and decided that I wanted to have another kid. 00:00:20.133 --> 00:00:22.533 I have an almost eight and a half year old daughter now 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.367 and had been told that going through fertility treatments 00:00:26.433 --> 00:00:29.400 was going to be my only option if I wanted to have another kid. 00:00:29.467 --> 00:00:32.067 That's what led me to reach out to Dr. Calin. 00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.500 One of the ways that I felt really understood and supported 00:00:35.567 --> 00:00:37.200 the first time I spoke with Dr. Calin 00:00:37.267 --> 00:00:40.567 is that he didn't make me feel like I was too old, or it was too late. 00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:44.300 That was really important for me because by the time I hit 35, 00:00:44.367 --> 00:00:46.633 I had had other doctors telling me, 00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:49.854 "You're already too old for this, and you shouldn't be having more kids." 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.400 But that was not the case the first time I spoke with Dr. Calin. 00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:56.667 I feel very fortunate that my treatment was successful the first time 00:00:56.733 --> 00:01:00.900 and that I didn't have to do multiple rounds like so many people do. 00:01:01.467 --> 00:01:02.800 Some things that I would say to someone 00:01:02.867 --> 00:01:05.600 who is just starting fertility treatments with Dr. Calin 00:01:05.667 --> 00:01:09.934 is to understand that you're going to have to take some time 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.333 and just be easy with yourself and have patience, 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.000 which can be really, really hard, 00:01:15.067 --> 00:01:19.533 but that what your goals are can ultimately happen, 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:21.900 and it's going to happen at its own pace. 00:01:21.967 --> 00:01:24.814 It may not happen the way it did for me, but it is truly possible. 00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:27.900 If you've been having this dream of having a child, 00:01:27.967 --> 00:01:30.100 it is totally possible to do that.
