Firstly I would like to thank Uma Gordon, Lisa Jeffery and the whole team at BCRM! You ALL had a massive impact on our very difficult and emotional journey.
My wife and I are not young 😄, we had been trying IVF for many years and had no success. This was our last attempt at the emotional IVF process, and Una Gordon and team came very highly recommended from a friend of ours who was also under Uma’s care.
From the offset we knew our age was a concerning factor with only an 18% maximum chance of having a positive outcome, therefore from the very beginning our expectations were managed by Uma. There were difficult conversations, emotional ups and downs throughout the journey - however Uma and her team explained and gave us all the information we needed in each step to keep us so well informed.
There were lots of tests and waiting for results and consultations for us, lots of questions about our health and the medications we were on. But it was all worth it - after following all the advice given us we are now expecting our first child 😄!!!!
We cannot begin to thank Uma and her team for all they have done for us - I truly believe another clinic would not have seen the process to the end, they would have stopped the process at egg collection and transfer. Uma and her team however did continue - even though there was a very very small chance of becoming pregnant. Uma explained the chances were slim but still we all decided to go ahead with the procedure. I believe many clinics at this point would have ceased the journey as all the odds were against us.
We are so glad we had the choice to continue, after what seemed a very long wait, we are now coming to terms with becoming new parents!!!
For anyone else thinking of going ahead with Uma and her team at BCRM, I can whole heartedly recommend their excellent care.
