Gilda’s Fertility Journey

What was your infertility diagnosis?

We had male factor infertility. My husband had a vasectomy reversal, but his sperm count was only average.

What type of treatment did you have at Westchester Fertility?

Two IUIs and one successful IVF.

How did you cope emotionally during treatment?

By the time I started IVF, I was very emotional and afraid that it wouldn’t work. I would be happy for others who were successful and at the same time very sad for myself for struggling. The staff and other patients helped me cope with the roller coaster of emotions.

How has infertility changed you?

I learned that everything is in God’s time. I’ve learned to be more patient. And I’ve learned to be more open and vulnerable because by sharing my feelings is how I was able to get through the stress of the process.
