In September 2001, my husband and I met for our initial consultation with Dr. Singh at the Mayo Clinic. We had been told that in-vitro fertilization was our only chance for conceiving a child after my husband’s vasectomy reversal had failed. After that very first meeting, I knew Dr. Singh was the right doctor for me. She was straightforward, kind, and patient. She answered all of our questions fully and was genuinely interested in getting to know us. She could not offer us any guarantees, but she gave us hope. And, most importantly, she cared.
A few months after our first meeting, we began our first (and only) cycle of in-vitro fertilization. Dr. Singh fully prepared me for exactly what would happen in each step of the process, as well as the possible risks. When I had questions or concerns, she was more than happy to take the time to talk with me or reassure me. Dr. Singh and her staff were as excited and hopeful about our potential success as we were. They were supportive and positive throughout my cycle. On March 23, 2002, we transferred two embryos. Two weeks later, we received the news we had been hoping to hear…I was pregnant! One month later, we found out that I was pregnant with twins and our hearts soared!
In November 2002, after a happy, healthy pregnancy, I gave birth to two beautiful girls. Both weighed in at just about six pounds and perfect in every way. The day after they were born, I made a weepy and emotional phone call to Dr. Singh to thank her for making our dreams come true.
I attribute our success not only to Dr. Singh’s competence and skill as a reproductive specialist, but also her ability to make me feel comfortable and safe through an emotional and sometimes difficult process.
Out of all the doctors I've ever had or will have in my life...Dr. Singh will be the one most special to me because she helped bring me my beautiful miracles. For that, I am eternally grateful.
