After trying to have a child for over two years, Victoria and I were becoming frustrated and we were unable to understand why we could not get pregnant. Beginning in 2012 we started seriously researching and pursuing fertility assistance.
Both my wife and I both underwent fertility testing and no concrete barriers presented itself. We did address a possible complication related to endometriosis with a minor surgical (laparoscopic) procedure but it didn’t seem to help.
We then consulted with a another Infertility Specialist in the St. Louis and went on to try IUI several times (our first fertility specialist’s recommendation) and were unsuccessful. Our final consult was with Dr. Silber.
After meeting with Dr. Sherman Silber, we immediately put wheels in motion. We were amazed and impressed by his understanding and ability to explain our options simply as well as the statistical likelihood of success with the various options. From the perspective of how intense and complicated the options were (and cost) we choose to move forward with the Mini IVF option.
Once we were committed and engaged with Dr. Silber, we worked with Nicole on the scheduling billing and questions as they came up. She was excellent support during the process and really made it feel quite simple.
My wife harvested a good number of eggs, enough to go through two rounds. The first round attempt was about 3 months after egg extraction and unfortunately was not successful. We were a little disappointed but since we did Mini IVF the second round was simplified.
New Year’s Day 2014 we had a pregnancy test that was positive.Sept 9th, 2014 our daughter was born.
Emma is now two years old and perfect in every way. We are so grateful that we found Dr. Silber and choose to take his assistance in helping us have our Emma. We hope our story will other couples realize their dreams of having children.
Thank you to Dr. Silber and The Infertility Center of St. Louis team!
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.
