When my husband and I married in 2010, we decided we wanted children, but had no success. After reading Dr. Silber’s book How to Get Pregnant, it dawned on me that I may never know why I wasn’t getting pregnant, but obviously the infertility treatments were not working and I decided that IVF may be my only chance of getting pregnant.
In July of 2013 I started with IVF procedures and learned after my retrieval that I was not getting pregnant because I made very few If any eggs, and I likely would have never known this if I didn’t have IVF. I was relieved to learn why I wasn’t getting pregnant, but was nervous after the retrieval when I learned that Dr. Silber had only extracted 4 eggs. But of course, he is a real expert at helping couples with very few eggs.
To my surprise, all 4 eggs fertilized and I learned on September 2, 2013 that I was pregnant. On May 9th, 2014, Alyxandria Rose was born. She is a beautiful and thriving baby and is absolutely the joy of our lives. My husband and I are forever grateful to Dr. Silber, Dr. Pineda, Nicole our coordinator, and the rest of the Dr. Silber’s team that made our little miracle possible. Thank you so very much!
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.
