Utah Fertility Center

This week we are going to this. (free fertility seminar)

Malea and I have been friends a looong time. She and her husband tried for a long time to get pregnant and after going to this Fertility Center she had success! Now she is getting close to giving birth... it's interesting how we are now in opposite positions - I've learned a lot about birth and new babies and have lots to share with her! And her experience and information about dealing with infertility has been a strength and example to me... we are flip flopped and are able to help each other with the experiences we've had.

It's been hard knowing what to do next in this process. I've talked to my doctor, a homeopathic doctor, been in the Eager study, used a fancy-dancy fertility monitor, charted my last 15 cycles after my miscarriage.... there are lots and lots of things to do when trying to get pregnant and different courses of action. Everyone has to figure out what's right for them and when. As much as part of me has been wanting to go to a fertility specialist for a while now we haven't felt like it was the right time, we have been working towards our goal as a couple and as a couple need to be ready for the next step. It's hard to feel like people are judging you, thinking why aren't you doing x or y and really it doesn't matter - it's just important to figure out what is right for you.

Sometimes I feel like Heavenly Father lets me have these experiences simply because he knows I'm going to share everything that happens with everyone else... so part of me feels like, of course I have to go to a fertility doctor and experience that and see what happens...

Anyways it's late and I should just stop rambling but just wanted to give an update and also let other people out there know that Fertility Centers have things like this seminar to get information out! I didn't know that till I happened to be browsing their wesbite...

so let the sharing continue... I'll let you know what I learn... :)

As silly as it is, I think this might be the FIRST time I've been somewhat knowledgable about something you aren't. Ha! As soon as you get pregnant, we'll rebalance the scales and I'll be begging you for advice on something!

Aubrey said...

I agree, there are experiences we go through that help us help others. You've actually been able to give me a lot of advice recently that I feel is really going to help me. Let me know how it goes!

Good luck Esther! I really hope it helps and you are able to get pregnant soon (I hope for myself as well.)

Carolyn said...

Great post! Dan and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost 6 months now. We're not too worried, but I usually get pregnant so quickly that it's causing me to raise an eyebrow. Can't wait to hear how it goes for you...

Good Luck!

If you are having troubles getting pregnant, I can surely help. I'm a fertility doctor in American Fork with over 25 years of experience. I've delivered over 1,000 IVF babies in that time period.

Dr. David Richards said...

I just read over my last comment on your site, and I'd like to change one word if possible. If you could change the word, "delivered" in my statement to "produced" that would be more accurate. Thanks so much! I'd really appreciate it.

Visiting to Fertility Clinic is always important it is because Fertility doctors offer a quite a bit to their patients. Partners having trouble conceiving will find that many types of treatments are available today that permit partners to reach their goals.
