"In 2018, our fertility journey began, and from the start, it was filled with ups and downs. Our very first OBGYN didn’t take my PCOS concerns seriously, leaving us feeling unheard. A year later, we sought a second opinion that led us to a fertility clinic. Encouraged by a friend’s recommendation, we chose Dr. Moore, stepping into this journey with a mix of hope, excitement, and natural anxiety.
We began with months of medicated cycles, and when those didn’t lead to success, we turned to more aggressive IUI cycles. Each attempt brought its own heartache, and every test result felt like a punch to the gut when the answers we needed remained elusive. Eventually, we discovered that surgery might be necessary to address a problematic fallopian tube—and possibly endometriosis—along with moving forward with IVF. That news made us pause and take a breath until we were ready to try again.
In 2023, we summoned our courage and dove back in. I underwent surgery, which resulted in the removal of a fallopian tube and some scar tissue. Then, in April, we had our egg retrieval and were blessed with 7 embryos. Although we lost our first two embryos, we persisted, adjusting our treatment plan and taking our third, double embryo transfer with all the anxiety and hope that comes with such a step. The tension broke when Dr. Moore announced that our best-quality embryo was 100% viable and the second was 95%—a moment that transformed our nervousness into a whole new fear: the fear (and excitement) of twins!
Just weeks later, the confirmation we had longed for arrived: I was pregnant, and soon after, we learned that we were expecting twins. My husband and I are forever grateful to the amazing staff at Conceptions and to Dr. Moore, whose expertise and care turned our challenging journey into the joy of welcoming our little boys, Leo and JJ, who are now nearing 9 months old."
