We were so lucky we were abled to get in with Dr. Silverberg right away. We had already tried years of natural TTC, Clomid and Femara with the help of my OB/GYN. It was time to move on to the big leagues.\r
\r
We originally considered going to the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine, which has the highest success rates in the country. I was happily surprised to find that the success rates at the Texas Fertility Center are almost equal to CCRM. Fortunately, there was a cancellation and I was able to claim the spot.\r
\r
It has taken a year and a half to find success, but with each try, each step of the way, we learned something new that brought us another step closer. We found just the medicine to make my body respond, and just what my husband needed to do to increase our chances of success.\r
\r
Every step of the way, the doctors and nurses have been there for us. While it's true it can be hard to reach someone during the day by phone, I always got a response to emails within two hours. Also, Pam is always available on the the 24 hr emergency pager. My most awesome nurse Keri always passed on each and every concern to Dr. Silverberg. Sometimes she was able to pass on instructions and answers to us, and sometimes Dr. Silverberg called us back himself - even on weekends and holidays.\r
\r
The financial staff have been exceptionally helpful and kind. They have interceeded for us with insurance on numberous occasions and have helped us set up financial plans when needed. \r
\r
Over the course of our time with Texas Fertility, I have had the pleasure of being treated not only by Dr. Silverberg, but also Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Berger when they were on call. Each encounter was pleasant, professional and helpful. In fact, everyone was cheerful and encouraging. While I do feel especially fond of Dr. Silverberg, I would've been equally as happy no matter which doctor I had been assigned to.\r
\r
I know fertility treatments are emotionally and financially difficult. Each decision has so much riding on it. If you'd like to speak to a fellow infertility couple who has been there, feel free to email me at daisy6671 at aol dot com. I also have a blog at iamstacey dot wordpress dot com. You can read about my full day-to-day experience with the Texas Fertility Center there.\r

Sending lots of good vibes and baby dust your way.\r
