I am so happy to report that I gave birth to my son Charles Thomas Pett on 5/15/2023 via c-section. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long. Your entire team contributed to his miraculous birth. I am so grateful to you all for the treatment protocol that contributed to me having a successful delivery.
Special thank you to Dr. Sher for diagnosing the immune related issue (partial DQ-alpha match, and activated natural killer cells) which was the cause of a prior chemical pregnancy of a euploid embryo with another clinic. The intralipid/prednisone protocol that you had me on until 22 weeks of pregnancy worked and my husband and I are so grateful. As you know my chances of getting pregnant with my own eggs and my husband’s sperm was extremely low given my extremely low ovarian reserve (AMH 0.1), having activated natural killer cells, and my husband and I having an alloimmune disorder (partial DQ-alpha match). We only had 1 euploid embryo in storage prior to coming to Sher (we have 1 more euploid embryo in storage with Sher), and I knew the best chance that I had of pregnancy (approximately 33% for 1 euploid embryo, a very low probability) would be under Dr. Sher’s immune protocol which worked. Special thank you for also taking my calls each time I had an emergency throughout the pregnancy. I did have a short cervix around 21 weeks of pregnancy, and I am so grateful that you advised that I have my cervix stitched closed if my cervix began to shorten too quickly. This was a long journey, and the high risk doctor and my OBGYN realized everything that was at stake (all the fertility treatment) and approved of the cervical cerclage once they knew that your general recommendation (as a pioneer in the field of IVF) was to have my cervix stitched closed. I will be forever grateful to Sher Fertility for everything your team did for me and my husband to have my beautiful and healthy son.
Dr. Sher – I hope you never retire, you are the best IVF doctor in the world, and I am so happy that I came to know you and your team. I know it was all in God’s divine plan for me to seek fertility treatment with Sher Fertility solutions to have my son born. God bless you all!!
