Miracle at 41

[harris17]

Just had to share this here... I hope it provides encouragement. This is a story I saw elsewhere but think it should be here too:

I have a history of PCOS, endometriosis and high FSH that goes back to my teens. Four top infertility clinics told me I'd never have a baby without using a donor egg. However it was important to my husband and me that we do all we could to conceive a child that was part of both of us. That’s when we discovered CHR and met Drs. Gleicher and Barad. They started me on DHEA, and initially I had two IVF sessions that failed because I was still unable to produce a viable egg. Then five months after starting DHEA, I was not feeling well and visited Dr. Barad who performed a sonogram to investigate. He discovered the cause of my "sickness" was that I was pregnant! Somehow I'd spontaneously conceived. He and the nurses were stunned, and my husband and I were overwhelmed with joy. Lucas was born the day before my 41st birthday. (photo attached.) He is 10 months old now and I love being a Mom. The team at CHR was amazing! The doctors, nurses and assistants, were caring, encouraging, and supportive. They are truly special people and helped us bring a miracle into our lives.
