In 2004 we began the process of trying to conceive. We knew the road would be hard and the odds were stacked against us as at the age of thirty three I was struggling with a very low ovarian reserve.
In 2005 we sought out the help of another fertility clinic and our first IVF cycle was both painful and devastating, the result, just one egg. By knowing that the chances of our conceiving were less that 10% I was ready to stop after the first attempt. Through my husbands urging we decided to try one more time.
Through many tears and a lot of prayer an image came to my mind of a book by Dr. Sherman Silber that I had read a decade earlier on how to get pregnant, of course I immediately did an internet search and realized his clinic was under two hours from where we lived, I called that very moment.
Dr. Silber’s staff was amazing and guided us through the steps we needed prior to our appointment time with Dr. Silber. That very appointment changed our lives forever! Dr. Silber gave us hope in a time when I personally had little. I realized at that moment we were exactly where God intended us to be and that if anyone could help us Dr. Silber could. Needless to say during our treatment with Dr. Silber not only did my follicle count increase from nine to fifteen, Dr. Silber and Dr. DeRosa were able to retrieve ten eggs. Joyfully in September of 2006 we delivered two very healthy babies, William Richard and Isabel Lynne Sapp!
We can never thank you enough for helping us conceive our children! May the Lord continue to bless your work and may the families that seek you out know they are in great hands!
Infertile patients cannot afford to wait for treatment while their eggs get older.
Dr. Sherman Silber, Infertility Center of St. Louis, is offering video consultations for patients who need to plan now for their treatment while stay-at-home orders are in place. He is talking to and evaluating patients in their home to comply with social distancing measures.
Dr. Silber is discovering that patients actually prefer this method of telemedicine consultation over the conventional office visit. Patients have conveyed that “it is so much more convenient and less stressful” to have a telemedicine personal consultation than to take a day off from work to travel to the doctor’s office and sit with other nervous patients in the waiting room.
The COVID-19 pandemic is thus changing much of the way we will do things in the future, and for the better. “Our patients are surprisingly much happier with this approach. Of course, at some point we need to perform hands on treatment. But with this new manner of seeing patients, we can come to the right diagnosis and treatment plan for most patients more efficiently, quickly, and painlessly, with no loss of personal one-on-one communication.” This is a very welcome new era of telemedicine that has been forced on us by the current difficult times.
