An Infertility Experience

Advanced Fertility Center

Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words, and sometimes it can be priceless.  In this picture my family was able to capture both…


My family was in Chicago, IL. for a seminar and we were fortunate enough to stop into the fertility clinic where my husband and I went for help with our  infertility problem.  While we were there, we were able to visit with Dr. Richard Sherbahn and everyone that helped us 5yrs. ago.  This also gave us an opportunity  to show off our triplets in person.   I would like to share with you the picture we took during our visit.

Dr. Richard Sherbahn and his staff are the most caring individuals I have ever met.  Without them we would not have our family.

Thank you so much Dr. Sherbahn and your wonderful staff for helping my husband and I achieve our blessings.

If anyone is interested in more information about Dr. Sherbahn, you can visit Advanced Fertility Center we strongly recommend them.  Please let them know that Jack and Leisha sent you.

But there’s a down side. Doctors know firsthand the toll of difficult pregnancies, problem births and babies struggling with multiple complications.

For this reason, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) recommends that doctors work with women to transfer the fewest number of embryos for the highest likelihood of pregnancy. For a woman under 35 who has good chances of a pregnancy developing, the guideline is to transplant only one embryo. Continue reading »
