UPDATE: Elliana Lily was born February 6 2011. Thank you RMA!!!!! A birth announcement is in the mail headed your way!!!
After TTC'ing for over 2 years, with no luck we decided to seek help. At first we visited an ob/gyn who claimed to specialize in fertility. BAD DECISION. A procedure was performed (IUI), so incorrectly, that it almost caused me to lose my uterus.
After this horrible experience my husband and I decided to find an actual Fertility Clinic. We live 3 hours away from SA so this wasn't an easy task. We made an appointment at 3 fertility clinics, all on the same day, to interview each one. RMA was our first stop. What a great office. We met directly with Dr. Hudson and I could'nt feel more at ease with her expertise. We left RMA for our second appointment, but left after sitting in the waiting room for over an hour. The third appointment we ended up cancelling. Why? Because we loved RMA so much and knew no other clinic was going to stand up to our already high standard.
A month later we did our 1st IUI (2nd all together) with RMA. What a difference from the last one we did at the ob/gyn office. Even the room in which my hubby went to give his sample was beyond expectation!! At the ob/gyn office it was an old supply closet. At RMA they make it as comfortable for the men as they possibly can with dim lighting and lots of "aids". During the IUI I got to watch the sample as it was injected, via internal ultrasound. How amazing to see all those swimmers headed off to do their job. Well, 2 weeks later, after 2 years of negative pregnancy test, loads of TI, fertility meds and a horribly botched 1st IUI, we got our miracle. I am now 16 weeks preggo and I honestly beleive it was RMA who gave us this miracle. Everyone, from the doctors and nurses, to the front desk staff was always super nice. The day we "graduated" from RMA was bitter sweet. I wish they did deliveries as well!!!! Thank you so so much Dr. Hudson and Dr. Arredondo. We will never ever forget what you did for us.
