What The Fertility

Jessica and her husband started trying four years ago for a baby. After six months of trying without success, she sought care from her OBGYN. Originally she was diagnosed with PCOS, which she took a self resolution approach by controlling her diet and incorporating low intensity exercise. After another six months of negative pregnancy tests, Jessica moved forward with deeper testing.

Her OB suggested they start with medicated cycles. At this point, she also suggested her husband take a semen analysis. Upon receiving the test results, Jessica and her husband realized they would be facing double the diagnosis. The results showed that her husband had low sperm count and poor morphology.

Tune in to follow their journey through a urological surgery and multiple rounds of IVF.

Maddie spent the last three years struggling with infertility. Over those years, she was diagnosed with PCOS, prolactinoma, and endometriosis. They completed six medicated cycles and multiple IUIs. Finally their RE sat Maddie down and told her enough is enough, she would either need to move on to IVF (which was not something her and her husband were comfortable moving forward with) or it was time to hang up the towel. Maddie was distraught and advocated for just one more IUI since her insurance covered this one final procedure.

Julia shares her story of back to back triploidy preganacies and how this led her family to move forward with IVF.
