5 Encouraging IVF Success Stories
1. 10 years before the third baby was born through IVF
Angela was one of the few moms who decided to have another baby in addition to her two young daughters. After her divorce with her first husband, she remarried to another man and decided this time she wanted to have a baby boy. However, at the age of 26, little she did know that the surgery she had for a cervical cancer disabled her from getting pregnant for the third time. However, Angela did not quit and for four years of trying to do so, she finally got pregnant.
Her doctor already advised her that the case would be a 50:50 and after the 24th weeks, she had her son miscarriage. After 2 years she got pregnant again and had it miscarriage for the second time. Seven months after, she got her third baby; however, right after the 23rd week the baby was miscarriage again. The doctor said, it was impossible to get pregnant naturally as the cancer treatment she previously had and the series of miscarriage, has already caused a scar inside.
It was a devastating fact for Angela to know aside from the bad feelings brought by the miscarriages. For almost three months and a half, the couples saved up money for an IVF treatment. Along with it, the couples also subject themselves into some traditional medicines and had Clomid treatment. The first IVF attempt failed, but the second had been a miracle. Angela had a preterm labor as the doctor say she would not be able to carry the baby into full term. But with the help of an incubator, their baby was able to live and although it was her third baby girl, Angela and her husband was happy to be blessed with one after 10 years.
2. Male infertility and IVF
Dan's IVF success story started when he was in his 20s when he found out that he had sperm count problems. He did not have any vices then but the doctor explained that it might have been caused by heredity and genetics. It was appalling for Dan to be unable to bear a child when his wife wanted it so badly. He has gone through various treatments and has taken various fertility drugs and various fertility enhancement activities but nothing else resulted into a good one. The couples resorted to IVF though, but his sperms were not viable enough to fertilize the eggs. It was almost hopeless for Dan, however; their doctor have opened up the possibility of a sperm donor and had agreed with it. Although it was not his own, after months they had their first baby and raised a happy and strong family. Dan could not imagine how lucky he was that despite being infertile, he was able to have at least one child to raise as he grows old together with his wife.
3. Overcoming age factor through IVF
Age is one the major factors why couples are faced unexplained infertility. For Liza and Robert, marrying on the age of 35 is a bit too late. As they know, the most effective child bearing years is from the age of 20 to 30. After three years of trying to conceive with no luck, they finally conclude that they need to seek the fertility treatment like IVF. Basically IVF is costly and while couples could not afford the price, both decided to file a supplemental insurance that covers fertility treatment. The insurance covered their first and second try for IVF, however; the result was nothing.
The only good thing is that they were given a little reimbursement for the first two failed trials. Disappointed for the second time, the couples used the money to take a little vacation. After a while, they decided to try IVF for the last time and swore to resort to adoption if it fails again. However, after weeks of missed periods, both couples were simply surprised to have found out through an ultrasound that Liza is already a month pregnant.
4. IVF Success over the off-putting Impact of Endometriosis
Not until Maria got pregnant for the first did she learn that she had an endometriosis. She thought she was lucky to have fallen pregnant despite the symptoms, however; a few months after suffering from severe pain, she had her first miscarriage. Miscarriage is one of the painful incidents women could ever face and for Maria who had an endometriosis blocking on her fallopian tube, the case is even more painful. There was no other way than IVF, their OB/GYN said on their first visit. Desperately longing to have at least one child, Maria and her husband took all the risk to have an In-Vitro Fertilization. Today, the couples are blessed with two lovely girls while the endometriosis was surgically removed though hysterectomy.
5. Luck on the Second Time
Mark and Chelsea had been infertile for several years. As per doctor’s advice, both couples indulged themselves into an In-Vitro Fertilization to achieve the most awaited conception. Unfortunate as they were, both were appalled with the first result as the IVF did not go well. Ten of the eggs from the egg retrieval did not fertilize through assisted reproductive technology.
However, concluding it was not time to quit, both ask for a second opinion and started complying with some fertility preparations such as taking fertility drugs and having regular monitoring of follicles before the process was done for the second time. Although it was a costly for the couples, the reward they got after months of clear-cut fertility aid compliance was worth. After injecting two healthy embryos to Chelsea’s uterus, weeks after they found out she was positive. Today Chelsea and Mark are happily going around with their healthy baby girl on the side.
