After five heartbreaking miscarriages, we knew we needed to act quickly if we wanted to grow our family. We started IVF right away under the care of Dr. Nina Resetkova, who wasted no time diagnosing our situation and building a treatment plan that gave us hope.

Our first cycle ended in another miscarriage. The second cycle failed. Each time, we took a breath, leaned on each other, and tried again. On our third cycle, everything finally aligned, and that transfer gave us our miracle son, Mickey, born in March.

Next weekend, we will celebrate his transferversary, the day hope turned into life. We are endlessly grateful to Dr. Resetkova and nurse Marley for their compassion, guidance, and belief in us through every step of our journey at Boston IVF.

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

Thank you to Dr. Resetkova and nurse Marley for never giving up on us.

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

The lows were deep and heavy. Facing another miscarriage after our first IVF cycle felt unbearable. The second cycle’s failure brought doubt and fear that maybe we would never hold our baby. But the highs were just as powerful.

On our third try, when we learned our transfer had worked, the joy was indescribable. Holding Mickey in our arms was the most life-changing moment we could have imagined. What makes our story unique is not just the outcome, but the resilience we found along the way. Our transferversary reminds us this year, and every year, that miracles can grow from heartbreak, and that persistence, hope, and the right care team can change everything.

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHER STRUGGLING WITH INFERTILITY?

To anyone going through this process, please remember that one failed cycle or even many losses do not mean the end of your story. Each step forward, no matter how painful, is still part of the path that may lead you to your miracle. Allow yourself to grieve when it is hard, but hold onto hope even when it feels out of reach. Surround yourself with support and lean on the team at Boston IVF, because you don’t have to carry the weight of this journey alone.
