I married my high school sweetheart after dating for 11 yrs. We were married at least 5 yrs. We tried having a baby on our own for several years. I had tried herbs to help me it helped but had a miscarriage within 2-3 weeks of being pregnant. We then decided to try IVF locally (Louisville, KY). We went thru 2 frozen egg transfers. Both eventually failed within a month. We then decided to take a break and tried again on our own. In January 2016, we found Dr. Silber’s clinic. We read and watched his videos and had a great feeling about this place. We immediately called and set up a consult with Dr. Silber for January. He read thru our history and immediately stated he believed it was a chromosome inversion in one of us. He wanted us both to get blood tests to be sure which one of us it could be. He made us feel like we still had hope of having a successful pregnancy. It turned out that I (Jessica) had a chromosome inversion, and this is what was causing my miscarriages. Dr. Silber explained that my inversion allowed for about 15-20% of my eggs to be healthy. Next, he noted that all we would need to do is have ALL my retrived eggs to be tested. This way they know which eggs are healthy to be successfull candidates for egg transfer. That March we had our egg retrieval and 5 out 7 eggs were healthy candidates for frozen egg transfer. That May 2016, we had our egg transfer. In January of 2017, our dream came true!! We had an extremely strong, active, and healthy son. Dr. Silber and his whole team made us feel like family. Each staff/team member was very organized, extremely nice, very educated and easy to get ahold of for anything through this entire process. We are planning on going back in near future to give Oliver a brother or sister.
We recommend Dr. Silber and his team to everyone!!
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.
