Melissa & Alan's Story:

Our hearts are full, and our family is complete thanks to CNY Fertility.

Thank you to the doctors, nurses, embryology, and the whole team at CNY Syracuse for making my dream of becoming a Mother come true ❤️. 

Through research and infertility support groups, we found CNY after 5 years of infertility struggles that included at least 8 medicated cycles, 3 failed IUIs,  IVF with 1 egg retrieval, a miscarriage, and 3 frozen embryo transfers (FET) later, we have our IVF twin miracles in our arms!! 

Along the way there were many doubts if we would ever get pregnant. Once we actually got a positive test, we miscarried after 6 weeks. That was heartbreaking. That was our 1st transfer. Our 2nd transfer failed to implant. For our 3rd transfer, I opted for all the possible add-ons and medications recommended by CNY, and transferred 2 embryos. 

The third transfer was the charm!! Both embryos stuck! 

Boy was I scared. I worried that my body wouldn't grow these babies healthy and well. As I got further and further along, and after more check ups confirming our two growing healthy babies, it finally sank in that we are going to be parents!!!!

Each day I would listen to positive affirmations and pull every ounce of hope I had left of becoming a Mother, and here we are!! It's still surreal that our babies are here, and we couldn't be more thankful for CNY because, without them, it wouldn't be possible.

Helpful resources Melissa & Alan found:

I did many add ons which included lipids, acupuncture, HCG wash, and plasma wash. CNY support groups were a savior and provided so much knowledge from women going through, or who went through, the same thing. Positive affirmations on YouTube.

Hope, Inspiration and Advice:

Support groups for infertility and CNY support groups. Advocate for yourself. Talk to others and don't be afraid to reach out, you are not alone!!! Keep pushing through, it's hard, take one day at a time but don't give up. Keep going!
