Our first child was a surprise but our inability to conceive again after 2 long years was a greater shock. Despite our hesitance to travel to Pensacola, our Ob/Gyn in Panama City insisted on referring us to New LIFE and after a thorough evaluation, we had to decide between insemination and in vitro. Taking a gamble we first tried insemination twice hoping to overcome a sperm concern, but my response was also a problem even though I was only 26 years old. With our next attempt we used in vitro but was unsuccessful due to few eggs and poor fertilization.

We just could not give up and we almost cancelled a second in vitro attempt because of few follicles. Only 4 eggs were retrieved and we transferred the only 2 that fertilized. When time came for pregnancy testing, I felt no different and was sure of another failure. But the office staff at New LIFE convinced me to have blood drawn…..it was POSITIVE !

Our very special son, Noah was born in January and it would not have been possible without the honesty, encouragement and unique expertise offered by Dr. Ripps and his staff. Our family has grown by one because of them. Thank you.
