As I sit holding my daughter, I try to think of the right words to say “thank you” to Dr. Silber and his team for bringing this amazing little person into my life. There are no words strong enough to show my appreciation.
My journey to have another child began about 2 years ago after being unable to conceive naturally. I was 39 years old and facing the possibility of having to comes to terms that I might be unable to have another child of my own. I was determined to do all that I could to make my dream a reality. Based upon the research that I had done, I chose to seek the help of Dr. Silber and his team.
As a result of my age, I made the decision after my first egg retrieval to again go through this process two additional times in hopes of increasing the number of frozen embryos. My thought process was that at this age, the sooner my eggs were retrieved, the better the quality, and the higher the likelihood of having another child. This would be costly but in my mind, of this meant working a few extra years of my life, it was well worth it. I had in my mind that if I had no success after the level of effort, then perhaps it was not meant to be. I truly could be at peace with myself knowing that I had done as much as I could on my end to make this dream come true.
It was the week of Mother’s Day 2011 that I found out that I was pregnant. Then in January 2012, at the age of 41, my beautiful daughter was born. The joy that she has brought into our lives cannot be put into words. I look forward to one day sharing my story with her. For her to know and understand what I went through to bring her into this world will create a special bond forever.
To women in search of this dream, I highly recommend that you consult with Dr. Silber and his team. The level of skill that they bring to this procedure is remarkable.
To Dr. Silber and his team, the words “thank you” will never be enough for what you have given me. You truly have made my life whole. It is because of you that my heart feels complete.
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.
