By Emelie & Joshua

Me and my husband met in 2015 and quickly realized we were the missing links in each others lives. In 2017, Josh moved to MA to start our life together finally in one place. Through the years we have moved several times to different towns, exploring life together. In 2020 we had finally settled down and quickly realized our end goal was to have a family.

I stopped birth control after 15 years and came to realize that I failed to get a cycle each month. After 3 years of trying ourselves with no medical intervention, we finally reached out to Boston IVF to begin our journey. We met with our dr (who is amazing!) and began our testing; I was diagnosed with PCOS, which would explain my lack of a cycle and ovulation.

We had 4 rounds of IUI and our 4th stuck! On November 11th (11/11!!) we found out we were finally pregnant!! I can’t explain the feeling but it was the best day of my life (aside from his birth). I would highly recommend Boston IVF for anyone looking to grow their family.

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

Dr. Korkidakis and her entire team are amazing. Angela our nurse was superb!!!

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

Highs were knowing I had a plan and a team behind me. Lows were the negative tests, even when deep down I knew to expect them.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER STRUGGLING WITH INFERTILITY?

Be your own advocate and don’t be afraid to ask questions! Believe in your team but also do your own research.
