My story is some what different, and some what a challenge. When I first went to RMA because I was dissatisfied with the clinic I was using, I was full of hopes because of all the positive reviews I read. My first meeting with Dr. Arredondo was very promising as he told me that if I do this and that, I will have about 60% chance of conceiving. I went by his recommendations, unfortunately, the outcome wasn't so fruitful. Tried again a second time, the result was even more disheartening as none of the embryos retrieved was matured, and the procedure was terminated at that time. All the explanation i got was that it was because of my age. Meanwhile, i know i have older friends that are still conceiving, and having healthy children. That got me very depressed.
After I recovered from the who,e ordeal, we decided to try again. At this time, Dr. Arredondo was less than optimistic about the potential outcome, giving me less than 10% chance of getting a fertilized embryo, and even less chance of the embryo implanting. However, I refused to be dissuaded, and told him that miracles still happen, and I do believe in them. He made note of our conversation, and his warnings, and recommendations.
When I left his office that day, I went down on my knees and started praying to God for miracle. I told God to prove the doctor wrong, and let him know that he (GOD) has the final say. I started reading my bible, and confessing all God's promises, while also fasting at the same time. I made a convenient to God that if he answer my prayer, I will testify of his goodness.
Long story short, I am now pregnant from that procedure, and I give God all the glory. The whole staff of RMA TX including Dr. Hudson were all caring, loving, warm, and professional; and I pray that God continue to use them to fulfill parental dreams.
My little girl has been begging me for a brother or sister. She still does not know even though she has been with me for ultrasounds, but did not understand. She will be thrilled when we finally tell her.
Once again, I give all glory to God Almighty for our wonderful miracle, and I thank the entire staff of RMATX for the good job they do.
