Family Stories
Raquel and Justin
We have been married since January 12, 2018 and began trying to conceive way before that. We consulted several doctors regarding our issue and were disappointed to find out that are best chances for conceiving would be through IVF. We adopted two puppies, Asia and Sushi, to try and fill the gap in our hearts. Although, they have brought great joy and love in our home, being able to conceive and raise a child of our own is irreplaceable. We decided to consult a reproductive endocrinologist and decided to move forward with IVF.
