My husband and I had been actively trying without success. We visited my OB/GYN and after a few tests found out that my tubes were not viable for some reason. It was unknown how or why this had happened. I was referred to Dr. Kim Thornton and following successful treatment, we had our first son a little over 2.5 yrs ago. We had 4 frozen embryos so we tried for our second child. As I mentioned, we experienced 3 unsuccessful cycles before we got lucky on cycle #4.

WHAT WERE SOME HIGHS OR LOWS OF YOUR TREATMENT(S)? WHAT IS UNIQUE/DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR STORY?

The "highs" were the positive tests. The "lows" were the positive tests then a period.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER STRUGGLING WITH INFERTILITY?

Talk about it. Infertility is nothing to be ashamed of. It only takes one opportunity to achieve success.
