After years of trying to conceive and experiencing the heartbreak of a chemical pregnancy, my husband and I decided it was time to seek help. We met with Dr. Delaney, who was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough in answering all of our questions.

We soon learned that my uterus was blocked with polyps and that surgery was necessary. Thankfully, the surgery was successful, and we moved forward with IUI treatment. After three unsuccessful IUIs, we knew it was time to take the next step and pursue IVF. While the unknown was scary, it was also filled with hope. I knew we had an amazing team supporting us every step of the way.

From the nurses and ultrasound technicians to the patient navigator, financial coordinator, and phlebotomist, every single person made us feel supported and informed. I never left an appointment feeling confused or overwhelmed.

On December 30, 2025, our dream came true when we welcomed our healthy, beautiful baby boy, Christopher. We are forever grateful to Boston IVF for helping make our dream of becoming parents a reality.

High: having a clear understanding of step by step of the treatment

Low: failed IUI, I wish I would’ve have done IVF from the beginning

Never lose hope!
