After trying for over a year and receiving discouraging test results, my OB sent me to Shady Grove Fertility. I live almost 2 hours from the Chesterbrook office but had several strong recommendations from friends to see Dr. Sasson. Upon my first appointment with Dr. Sasson, he suspected I had endometriosis, which had never been diagnosed by my primary OB. It took me a few months to settle with the idea of proceeding with IVF, but once I did, I knew I was making the right decision. Dr. Sasson was so kind, caring, encouraging, and realistic with the best course of action for me. He recommended we do carrier genetic testing, test our embryos, and that I do the ReceptivaDx test to confirm endometriosis – which then gave us a specific protocol to follow for both egg retrieval and transfer. Less than a year after our initial appointment with Dr. Sasson, I had a frozen embryo transfer and was pregnant. Recently we welcomed a happy and healthy baby girl and I have Dr. Sasson, our nurse Megan, and the SGF staff to thank for our little miracle!!
