"It had been 4 years of trying and had completed 5 rounds of IUI at another office. We were extremely fustrated and decided to get a second opinion. We found IRH and met with Dr. Schieber who was absolutely amazing! He gave us 4 options and we ultimately went with IVF. Our 1st transfer ended with a miscarriage and all of the doctors were so amazing in that moment with us and made sure we didn't blame/beat up ourselves. When we were ready for transfer 2, they took extra precaution with our medicine schedule and appointment making me feel at ease as best as I could be! When they told us we were pregnant again we didn't believe them. The office was so excited and it refreshed us, giving us hope. Without them we would not be holding our early christmas present! 5.5 years since we said "let's have a baby," we now have our rainbow baby Charlie ❤ Thank you so much to the IRH team, what you do means the absolute world to us. You made our dreams come true, thank you!"

"My reproductive and fertility history runs deep. I’ve battled endometriosis, an ovarian torsion when I was younger, PCOS, etc. In 2023 I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks 3 days when they didn’t hear the heartbeat. My second pregnancy was chemical and never developed into anything successful to implant. I sought care and consultation with IRH after our two losses and they discovered an extra clotting disorder I never knew I had which can contribute to pregnancy losses. Dr. Scheiber and team were so helpful and comforting when consulting for a work up. We ended up conceiving naturally for the third time and just had our rainbow baby Josie on 12/17/25. Thank you IRH for giving us hope when it felt hopeless. The frequent ultrasounds, blood work up, and monitoring truly helped guide us and led us to meeting our precious rainbow 🌈 baby girl! Forever grateful."

"My husband and I began fertility treatments at IRH in 2021 after trying to conceive for 4 years. After 3 failed IUIs, we moved to IVF. We retrieved 4 eggs, and only 1 became an embryo. Our one chance, that one embryo, became our baby girl, Peyton. Born in March 2022, she was our everything, and we are so grateful to IRH for our miracle. And to our surprise, a second miracle came when we found out we conceived her baby brother, completely natural and unplanned. Born in April 2024, Emmitt joined our family and we were complete. What started as a tough 4 years trying to become parents, the journey was long and hard, but now we are now blessed with two beautiful children and couldn’t be happier."

"My husband and I started trying for a baby in 2020 and after 2 years of no luck we sought out answers. It didn’t take much time to figure out what our issue was and after being pointed in the right direction my husbands doctor told us with the Cystic Fibrosis Gene Cell Mutation that he had IVF would be our only option for children. We were referred to IRH and they were the biggest blessing. Our nurses became our friends and our doctors became our safe place.
1 round of IVF. 4 transfers. 2 angel babies. A lot of prayers. We finally have our miracle baby and he was worth every second."

Our story began with a dream—a dream of a family that didn’t feel quite complete yet. We imagined a baby girl with bright eyes and a tiny smile, someone who would fill our home with laughter and love. But the road to her was not simple. It was a road marked by waiting rooms, early-morning appointments, and moments of doubt that felt heavier than we expected.
And then came the team at IRH and IVF—our bridge of hope.
To our incredible IVF doctors Dr Michael Awadalla and Dr King, nurses, and every caring hand behind the scenes: thank you. You held our hope when we felt tired, you explained every step with compassion, and you reminded us that miracles often take time. Your expertise turned fear into trust, and your kindness turned an overwhelming process into something we could carry with courage.
Then, after months of prayers, needles, scans, and whispered “please let this be the one,” our miracle happened. Our embryo became a heartbeat. That heartbeat became a tiny kick. And one unforgettable day, our dream became a beautiful baby girl in our arms. In that moment, our family became complete.
She is here because you believed in us—and helped us keep believing in ourselves.
And to anyone still on the IVF journey: hold on to hope, even on the days when it feels impossible. We’ve been there. We’ve felt the ache, the waiting, the fear of the unknown. But we’ve also felt the joy on the other side—the joy that arrives quietly at first and then fills every corner of your life. Miracles grow in the most unexpected ways, and yours may be closer than you think.
IVF didn’t just give us a child. It gave us strength, resilience, and a deeper understanding of love. And most importantly, it gave us our daughter—the final piece of our hearts.
Thank you, IRH team, for the miracle we now hold every day.

"Being over 30 with one o***y and endometriosis, we wanted to start our family as soon as possible. After trying for 6 months with no luck, we decided to try IUI. Everyone at IRH was so nice and attentive. We are so blessed — the first try worked and we have a wonderful baby boy. Thank you IRH for help bringing our child into this life" 🩵

"My husband and I started trying to conceive immediately after we were married in May of 2018. After a year of trying and no luck we underwent testing and were diagnosed with “unexplained infertility”. We underwent numerous medicated cycles before finally reaching out to IRH for help. In late 2020 we completed 3 IUI’s with no success. We were heartbroken, and I especially needed a mental break so we “took time off” and tried to enjoy ourselves. In November 2020 we started our IVF ICSI journey. On December 20th we had an unsuccessful fresh frozen embryo transfer. We were devastated but immediately wanted to try again. January 19th 2021 we transferred 1 beautiful embryo that became our Son. He will be 4 years old soon. We longed to give him a sibling so we underwent another frozen embryo transfer in November 2024 and we now have 2 healthy baby boys who are our world! Thank you IRH, Dr.A"
