Elizabeth's story:
My name is Elizabeth and I gave birth at the age of 41 via in vitro fertilization (IVF) to a healthy baby girl at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania! I am forever grateful to Dr. Maureen Kelly! I had two retrievals and four transfers. Multiple eggs were transferred the first three times and I had one egg left for the last one—it was a success! I remember asking Dr. Kelly if it was worth transferring just one egg, and she said of course! I look at my daughter every day and still can't believe she is mine. I went through so much to have her and it was worth every bit of it. Never, never, give up! |
Jess's story:
Hello everyone! My name is Jess and
I am going to be 30 in just two weeks.
I was married at the age of 22 and
began trying for a baby at the age
of 23. To be honest, at 23 I didn't
even really understand that I had to
try. I had regular (but painful) cycles,
and was very unaware as to what infertility
was. I believed that if you had unprotected
sex you had a baby. Boy, was I wrong.

Danielle's
story:
I am a surrogate mother who gave birth to a baby boy 1/8/09. This was the biological child of the husband and wife. I am 42 years old with one daughter. She is 21. We transfered 3 embryos the first time which was unsuccessful, and one the second time which resulted in a birth. Never get discuraged because there are women out here like myself that will carry a child for you and never look back. It was the most amazing experience of my life, I would do it again in a heartbeat! |

Jessica's
story:
I am a 26 year-old woman who has
PCOS. I started infertility treatments
when I was 23. I felt like I would
never get pregnant after trying
several times. I became very depressed
and made the relationship between
me and my husband very strained.
I finally became pregnant one year
later. I was so excited. Then I
lost the baby.

Dani's
story:
I was diagnosed with PCOS about
six years ago. My husband and I
have been trying for a family for
about eight months now. Dr. Pfiefer
is absolutely amazing and after
three rounds of clomid we are pregnant!
She and her nurses are just so
supportive and wonderful. We couldn't
have asked for better treatment.
Here's hoping all goes well over
the next nine months! |

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two years. My ob/gyn kept telling
us to have intercourse on days 12-14 of my cycle, but it was not working. In

were too much. We cried together.

Nai's
story:
When I was younger I always thought
that when I turned 25 years old I would
start a family. My sister and cousin
both started their families very young
and I vowed that would not be me. I
was going to do things right - like
get a job, find a good husband, get
a big house... then comes the family.
Well everything took place but the
children.
