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.

I had a blighted ovum and had to have a D&C. I was so stressed and depressed & I obsessed over getting pregnant again. Well the obsession must have worked because 6 months passed and I was pregnant again. I was so amazed because I thought the treatments I was taking would not work. So at my last appointment Dr. Tureck advised me that I had an egg growing. I was so excited....I had this gut feeling that "It's going to work this time."

And I am happy to report that I am now the proud mother of a one year little girl named Allyana. She is the best. I delivered her after 48 hours of long painful labor, but it was all worth it. I just want to thank Dr. Tureck, Carol (RN), and Nicole from Penn Fertility Care.
