Before we came to Dr. Silber, we had had several failed attempts with IUI, and one failed IVF cycle. After the last failed IVF cycle at a different center, we were told that we would not have any chance of having our own child unless we had donor eggs and donor sperms. I refused to take this option (somehow I just knew that we could still have a chance). But, being drained from emotional pain and physical pain (lot of tests done at this center), I decided to put on hold our plan of seeking any further treatments.
A year after this painful experience, my husband told me that he would like us to try again. I told him that I would pray to God and I would let him know my decision. I started my research for a different doctor online. I found Dr. Silbers website. I read many of his articles, his background and achievements. I also read many patients testimonials from the website.
When I read the testimonies, I knew they were true but my thought was these were miracles and they might not happen to me. But, one thing that helped me to decide to see Dr. Silber was his method of mini IVF cycles. I thought this treatment would be more appropriate for me (I was 40 years old with only one ovary).
My husband and I met with Dr. Silber and he explained the procedures to us. Everything was simpler than I thought (no painful test, just ultrasounds). We signed up immediately and walked out his office with full of hope.
After 3 mini IVF cycles, we had four good embryos stored. We decided to go forward with the transfer. I had two embryos transferred and one did take.
We welcomed our miracle baby girl (Evelyn) on March 27 of this year. Our daughter is truly a miracle which only by Gods grace that we can get.
We are so thankful for the dedication of Dr. Silber and his staffs to help people like us to have our dream of being parents to come true.
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.
