I have a very low ovarian reserve, which in my mind indicates poor egg quality. Normal AMH levels are 15 to 48, mine are 4.0…
Sent to us on 9/9/2021 – “It still feels surreal that after 5 years of fertility treatment, 3 failed IVF’s and multiple cancelled cycles, I am now finally pregnant for the first time ever… and with TWINS!!!!

“I first wrote the “Incredibles” blog a few years ago, and from time to time I like to read it again to remind myself about the levels of courage and determination that our patients have on a day-to-day basis. What I wrote then is as true today and will be tomorrow as it was when I wrote it at the…

My husband and I chose to name our daughter “Grace”, as she is truly a blessing that would not have been possible without the…
Gender selection, sex selection, family balancing… So many names it is known by but with the one aim: to achieve a pregnancy of a specific sex. There can be many reasons why a patient wants to do this, sometimes for medical reasons and sometimes because they already have children of one sex and would like one of the other. As…

Your patience and understanding to my million and one questions was so appreciated and helped me make some big decisions. I will forever be grateful that you came into my life and gave me the guidance I needed. I could have…
