| - I came to FTC in 2007 after having two miscarriages in a row trying for child #2. Most OB-GYN do not recommend going to a specialist until after a third miscarriage, but I was being pro-active, especially after making it to my 8 week ultrasounds, finding heartbeats, being reassured that everything was fine, only to miscarry. I didn't want there to be a devastating third.
Without going into too much detail, I was never able to achieve a pregnancy through Dr. Craig's office despite many frustrating years, countless IUI's, and one failed IVF. While under Dr. Craig's care, I was able to get pregnant on my own, but for some reason couldn't make it past that 6-8 week pregnancy. What I commend Dr. Craig with is he always had a plan and never gave up on me. Every time I would get pregnant, the office would bring me in right away and start me on Dr. Craig's list of medications he suggested. The plan would always change with each pregnancy and we used it as a learning tool. I always knew what the plan was, he clearly wrote them out, counseled us on them, and we received a copy.
Before my IVF, my FSH was high for some reason. At that time the NP took it upon herself to diagnose me with peri-menopause. She suggested that I use donor eggs and schedule a visit with Dr. Craig's (at that time) partner; that physician has since left this practice. Dr Craig assured me this was not the case that something else was going on with my hormones. I stayed loyal to Dr. Craig and never forgot what that nurse told me because when you read the end of this, I know how wrong she was!!! I'm glad she left the practice, because this office is better than her and her flighty opinions.
Also, I should mention that Dr. Craig is able to think outside of the box. I like the fact that some things he suggested were unique to my case. I don't think that every patient is the same and should necessarily go through the same fertility treatments.
After my IVF (the IVF was during a 3 year stint of unknown infertility after having a total of 6 losses), I decided it wasn't meant to be and finally gave away the last of our baby items after 6 years of trying.
Sure enough, 2 weeks later and just a few months before my 40th birthday, I was mysteriously pregnant!
I called Dr. Craig's office right away. After 2 years of not hearing from me, they got me in within the hour, on a holiday weekend, and started me on my meds.
Everything progressed perfectly. I began seeing a peri-natal specialist at 6 weeks on my own accord.
I am now holding a healthy baby! As I stated above, I was never able to get pregnant as a patient of Dr. Craig, but he never gave up on me and never once said it's not possible.
