| - A five star rating does Dr. Littman no justice. She is as caring, compassionate, educated, and well spoken doctor as any we have ever encountered. In short, she and her staff came through for us when, by any measure, the likelihood of us being able to conceive was doubtful at best.
We were diagnosed with PCOS after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for almost a year. After going through the course of treatment and the emotional hurdles that accompany infertility problems, we finally reached our harvest day in August of 2007. That happy, hopeful day soon turned black as we found we only had seven potentially viable eggs instead of the twenty to thirty we were hoping for. The news was hard to take, but Dr. Littman was a calming presence in what was one of the most disappointing days of our lives. Her honesty, candor, and professionalism were really the only reason why we were able to emotionally process the potential devastation that being infertile can wreak upon a marriage. When we left that day we knew we were facing extremely long odds of ever becoming pregnant.
After fertilization we only had three total embryos that were deemed to be worth freezing. Despite the odds, all three of those embryos survived the freeze and thaw, and we decided to implant all of them since it was our only shot. The ten days between implantation and pregnancy results were excruciating, but finally we got the call. The words will never be forgotten: "Oh she's pregnant alright - and it looks like more than one."
On March 18, 2008 we gave birth to twin girls - 15 (fifteen!) weeks prematurely at St. Rose Sienna. Colbie weighed 1 lb. 6 oz. and Kenna weighed 1 lb. 5 oz. Each girl had about a 50% chance of survival. We faced dismal prospects of ever bringing home two live babies, let alone two healthy girls. The pain of extremely premature birth was compounded by the difficulty we had getting pregnant.
On July 9, 2008, 113 days after birth, we brought home our two happy, healthy baby girls. Dr. Ravi Krishnan and his fantastic staff at St. Rose completed the miracle that was started by Dr. Littman and her wonderful associates.
We hope that you never have to read this review. If you do, it is our sincere hope that you are doing so just out of curiosity - not because you need help getting pregnant. But if you do read it, you need to know that miracles really do happen. Good people like Dr. Littman work tirelessly so that people like us can have a chance to have the child (or children) we have dreamed of all our lives. Please let our story be an inspiration for you: NEVER GIVE UP!!
