Getting a second opinion was the best clinical decision that Blake and I made in our infertility journey. It changed the trajectory of our story. In a simple phone call, I was able to have Dr. Schoolcraft review my records and ask him all the questions. I very much valued his opinion because he didn’t need my business. He is a world renown doctor and he cares about his success rates. For these reasons, I trusted his opinion and felt confident that he would tell me the truth. I needed to hear from him that he thought he could do things differently and that the results would be different if we came to CCRM.

When we were finally ready to try for kids, it was heartbreaking to see that same negative test result over and over. Nothing like finding out this news, both positive and negative, on the toilet, right? After we had been trying for about six months, I just knew something was wrong. I was scared to take the next step, but I knew we needed to pursue testing. If this is where you are in your story, I have some encouragement for you!

The Infertility Sisterhood exists to provide empathy (because you don’t have to walk this road alone), encouragement (because there is hope even in the hard stuff), education (because the decisions you make matter) and empowerment (because you have a purposeful path forward).
