Fertility Success Story
One Woman's Story
By Teri Brown
She went to Coastal Fertility Medical Center's facility in March 2003, and Dr. Werlin told her he would do everything in his power to help her achieve her dreams of motherhood. On Mother's Day 2003, she received the special news that she would be able to conceive a baby through donor embryos. The implantation of the donor embryos would take place in June.
"I was excited and nervous and concerned, because I almost didn't get off work to be able to do the procedure," Wilson says. "I had the support of my sister and mother, who came along with me to California for the procedure. We rented a hotel room to stay over the weekend, following the procedure. We arrived on Tuesday [and] saw Dr. Werlin on Wednesday, who said everything looked fine to do the procedure on that Friday."
"Patrisha was offered the chance to use 14-year-old frozen embryos donated by another couple from our clinic," says Dr. Werlin. "Statistically, fertilized, frozen eggs can last indefinitely and, according to Patrisha, this was the miracle she was looking for after being placed on a series of waiting lists at other centers." Dr. Werlin says the oldest embryos he has come in contact with are the embryos Patrisha used.
