A baby girl after recurrent miscarriage

Why do you want to share your story?

Sharing our rainbow baby story is healing therapy for me, and it may help others.

Why did you trust Fertility Centers of Illinois?

I felt in my gut and in my heart that I needed to see a specialist in OB/GYN and Reproductive Endocrinology.

How would you describe your experience with your physician?

Dr. Hirshfeld-Cytron gave us treatment options and monitored us closely. It gave us peace of mind.

What helped you get through treatment?

Faith, family and friends. I kept telling myself, don’t quit, keep trying, keep going.

Do you have any words of hope for others?

Sometimes you just have to keep fighting to have a family, even if it comes easier for others.

Tell us about your little miracle!

I had to be on progesterone before pregnancy and during pregnancy up to 12 weeks. We wanted to be surprised and didn’t want to know the gender until birth. We had a baby girl, named Sadie. I still find myself staring at her, that she is here, finally!
