our story

By Christine & Gregg

I met Dr. Dawkins when she worked for her previous employer and continued care through Boston IVF. She radiates warmth, hope, knowledge and compassion. Infertility is a hard road and she was there for us each step of the way.

My journey led me through multiple surgeries, IUI, and IVF. Dr. Dawkins advocated for us when we hit obstacles with insurance and was always there encouraging us along the way. As luck would have it, she performed my egg retrieval and was there to great me with a hug, reassurance and from that day, our one perfect embryo.

My pregnancy was not without risks, but led to our beautiful baby girl. She is literally a dream come true. My husband and I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. Dawkins and always felt like we were in the best hands. We will never be able to thank her enough for giving us the greatest gift of all.

HOW DID YOUR BOSTON IVF PHYSICIAN AND NURSING TEAM HELP TO MAKE YOUR JOURNEY A SUCCESS?

We would not have our miracle baby without Dr. Dawkins and Boston IVF. We are forever grateful.

WHAT WERE SOME HIGHS OR LOWS OF YOUR TREATMENT(S)? WHAT IS UNIQUE/DIFFERENT ABOUT YOUR STORY?

It felt like at every turn there was an obstacle. I was naive and thought we would start trying and get pregnant or pursue fertility treatments. I was not prepared for all of the surgeries that I would need and how long the process would take. Lots of tears, mixed with hope got me through.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER STRUGGLING WITH INFERTILITY?

Lean on people for support. It is a hard, emotional journey. Find a provider that listens and cares.
