It’s getting real for our 2025 Gift of Hope IVF Grant recipient Emilee and her husband Jacob - she started all her baseline labs and ultrasounds today to get ready for her stim start 😁!

After an emergency appendectomy a few years ago, Emilee’s doctors discovered she also had endometriosis. This was a lightbulb moment for Emilee as it explained her years of painful, heavy periods. It also provided insight as to why getting pregnant after her marriage to Jacob has been so difficult.

Endometriosis can cause scar tissue to form on the reproductive organs, often blocking the fallopian tubes. Since IVF bypasses the fallopian tubes altogether it can be a successful treatment to help Emilee and Jacob finally be able to build their family.

Best of luck 🤞 Emilee!!!!

Meet Trinity!

Trinity Guillory currently serves as the Front Desk Coordinator in our Lafayette office and the first smiling face you see as you walk in our clinic. Before joining Fertility Answers in June 2024, Trinity worked as a receptionist at a cardiology clinic, so entering the fertility field was an entirely new experience for her.

"What excites me most about being part of Fertility Answers is witnessing couples achieve their dreams of becoming parents—the joy and smiles on their faces when they graduate are truly heartwarming."

Professionally, Trinity hopes to continue learning and growing within Fertility Answers, with the goal of advancing her career over time. Outside of work, Trinity enjoys spending time with her family, catching up on TikTok, and cuddling with her dog when she's not busy with schoolwork.

Get to know Dr. John Storment!

Originally from Shreveport, Dr. Storment moved to Lafayette when he was in high school and was in the first graduating class at St. Thomas More in 1983. Little did the priests at STM know then that this one-time troublemaker would become a well-respected physician just down the road!

After graduating in microbiology at LSU Baton Rouge, Dr. Storment went on to LSU Med School in Shreveport, an OBGyn residency at UT-Houston, and then a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) at the University of Vermont.

After fellowship, he and his growing family were wanting to move back south to be closer to family. Lafayette seemed like the perfect place. Not too big, family-friendly, with a wonderful culture and great food, Lafayette proved to be the best place to raise a family and build a practice that specialized in creating more families.

Now, over 25 years later, Dr. Storment is proud of the work he has done in Acadiana and in Baton Rouge (Fertility Answers expanded to BR in 2014). Since Fertility Answers started in 1999, close to 5,000 miracles have been brought into this world. A little known secret is that he has kept every single card and note patients have sent him over the years 😊, now filling many shoes boxes, cherished sentiments that confirm his decision to go into infertility in the first place.

Professionally, Dr. Storment has received numerous awards over the years, has taught many of the LSU OBGyn physicians that now deliver your babies, has served on many local boards, and serves on the national board of Ovation Fertility, our partner in our IVF labs. He is also passionate about service to others and provides his time and treasure to many local causes, as well as being a major sponsor to organizations that assist our patients, such as Maddie's Footprints and Resolve: The National Infertility Association.

We are incredibly thankful ❤️ to have Dr. Storment at the head of our Fertility Answers family!
