We got married in 2008 and wanted to have a baby as soon as possible. But after 8 months of timing my ovulation (and I was ovulating like a clock), we figured out that something was wrong. My husband visited a local urologist and we found out that he has low sperm count. After working with this doctor for another 6 months and spending thousands of dollars, we realized that nothing was happening. But then my doctor advised us to seek fertility help. We were referred to another fertility clinic in San Antonio but their customer care wasn't that good and my husband decided to look for a different clinic. He called all the fertility clinics he could find in San Antonio and Austin since we live in between both cities and he was most satisfied with RMA of Texas. We started working with Dr. Hudson in mid-November, 2009. She and Dr. Arredondo and the whole staff performed a battery of tests on me and my husband. By the end of December we were told that our infertility was due to my husband's low sperm count but the good news was that IVF was an option for us and Dr. Arredondo told us that we have 65% chance of concieving! This gave us a lot of hope! Dr. Arredondo also said that he can see our baby and wants us to believe that we will have a baby. This inspired us! In January and February I was taking lots of pills and giving myself injections. On March 3 was the egg retrieval which was done by Dr. Arredondo. On March 8 Dr. Hudson transferred two embryos in my uterus. On March 19 we found out that we were pregnant! My husband and I couldn't believe that the miracle of life had happened to us! Two weeks later we saw the baby for the first time and heard the heartbeat. It's May 3 now and I am 10 weeks pregnant, almost 11 actually. Our journey with RMA was so pleasant, so efficient, so worth it! For now our journey with RMA of Texas is over. We saw our baby moving and we heard the heartbeat during our last appointment with Dr. Hudson which was just a few days ago! I think she was as happy as we were about seeing and hearing the baby! God willing we shall have the baby in November, 2010. Since we have frozen two embryos we shall do one more embryo transfer in 2011 and hopefully we shall have a baby again. :) So our plans are to return at RMA of TX when we are ready to have the second baby. We keep on talking how efficient, caring, well-prepared the staff of RMA is. They always knew what they were doing. They were always available to answer your questions. When we had a question or a concern and we called after hours, Dr. Arredondo would call us back at 8-9-10 pm and kindly answer all our questions. Chris, our nurse, would always call me back with clarifications on how to give the injections and about my tests, etc. We both felt very well taken care of! My husband and I recommend RMA of Texas to everybody who has a fertility problem and give ourselves as an example - when we first stepped into RMA of Texas - it was just two of us, now we are three!
Pros: Great, caring staff + great results!
Cons: None
