Dear Kellie,
I am 28 years old, and have been married for 5 years to my high school sweetheart. When we first got married we wanted started to have children right away, so we started trying. In the five years that we have been married, I have been pregnant 5 times and lost four of the pregnancies. My first pregnancy I lost early on, in the second pregnancy I also lost early on. When I got pregnant the third time and found out on my 9th week sonogram that the baby stopped growing and had to have a D&C, my doctor started doing every test possible on me and my husband. I started seeing a WONDERFUL infertility doctor here in the area, Dr. Sy Q Le in May of 2002. I went through 7 artificial insementations and got pregnant on the 4th try. My husband and I were excited to find out that we got pregnant with twins. My pregnancy was going well, my regular OBGYN saw me every two weeks, did sonograms every time, everything looking great, found out that we were having BOYS... Then on August 1, 2003 I went into preterm labor with my twins, I was 5 months pregnant, my doctor did everything he could to help control it. Then on August 3, 2003 I gave birth to two beautiful baby boys, who both died several minutes after entering this world. I thought my life had came to the end, I did not want to go own. I always wanted to be a mother so I knew I could not give up. I started back with Dr.Le right away, I had another insemenation and that failed. Then I lost my grandmother on October 5, 2003 and I had an insementation coming up and I knew that she would never want me to give up so I tried it again, and again it failed. So I told myself I am never going to be a mother and never to try this again, the emotional rollercoaster I was riding was about to be over, I did not want to go on. My husband talked to me and told me to try one more time and if it failed then I do not have to do it ever again. So on Decemeber 5, 2003 I did my final 7th insemenation, and on December 16, 2003, I found out that I was pregnant. I had doubts about this pregnancy, I was not letting myself get to attached and happy, just in case of it failing. My OBGYN sewed my cervix when I was 14 weeks along, to help prevent preterm labor happening again. On August 2, 2004 (my 5 year wedding anniversary) I went to my 36 week doctors appointment to have my cervical stitch removed, well he could not remove it, he sent me to the hospital to have my blood pressure monitored. I started going into labor and had an emergancy c-section and had me a BEAUTIFUL baby girl. Kellie, I am the mother of Riley Rayanne, I did it. I never gave up, even though I thought about it everyday. I know how hard and emotional it is every month when mother nature comes to visit, but you must keep trying and never give up. If it wasn't for my husband asking me to try one more time for him, then I would not be a mother, and I thank him everyday for that. I am not sure who you are seeing for your fertility, but if it is not Dr. Le, then you must go to him. Kellie he is the most wonderful, caring doctor (besides Dr. Wollenman, my OBGYN) that I have ever been to. He is located here in Las Colinas at the Baylor Hospital off of 635 & MacArthur.
I just wanted to tell you about my story and tell you never give up hope, it will happen.
Yours truly,
Lisa Jones
