Family Stories

Jenna and Jordan

Their grant application said it all: “We want a baby more than anything. It ultimately comes down to whether or not we can afford IVF.”

Jenna and Jordan were financially and emotionally tapped as two weeks after their wedding, Jordan was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had to undergo surgery and chemotherapy. Fortunately, he had cryopreserved his sperm, but IVF treatment is costly.

Jenna and Jordan are the recipients of a donated IVF cycle from our Partner Practice, Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago. They completed treatment with Dr. Michelle Catenacci and became pregnant with twins! Easton and Isla were born in July, 2017.

Today, Mom and Dad have a different story to tell:

“We are so blessed and cannot love them any more! We never knew we could love this hard! We wouldn’t be where we are today with these ‘lil ones without you all!”

We want a baby more than anything. It ultimately comes down to whether or not we can afford IVF.
