WEBVTT 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:10.920 My endometriosis was something I struggled with for a long time, and my fallopian 00:00:10.945 --> 00:00:13.380 tubes, I had one that was closed. 00:00:13.405 --> 00:00:19.380 Really, at this point, the best option for me to have a baby was through IVF, 00:00:19.405 --> 00:00:25.040 and it was going to be hard to have a successful transfer with how much 00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:29.280 inflammation just those tubes themselves caused. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.020 Dr. Delaney recommended that we remove those to move forward with IVF. 00:00:33.045 --> 00:00:37.960 That was something I wasn't quite ready to hear yet, as I felt like that was such a 00:00:37.985 --> 00:00:41.720 permanent thing to me at the time, that there was going to be no chance of me 00:00:41.745 --> 00:00:45.700 having a baby on my own, even though I knew that that chance was slim. 00:00:45.725 --> 00:00:50.040 It did take some time for us to process that before we came back to Dr. Delaney 00:00:50.065 --> 00:00:54.760 and decided that we were ready to move forward and ready to take her 00:00:54.785 --> 00:01:01.540 recommendation on having surgery and moving forward with the whole IVF process. 00:01:01.565 --> 00:01:07.460 By doing that, we were successful in having our first child, 00:01:07.485 --> 00:01:13.540 and now he is 18 months old, and we are incredibly happy and incredibly 00:01:13.565 --> 00:01:14.980 grateful to Dr. Delaney. 00:01:15.005 --> 00:01:18.410 We are now expecting our second baby. 00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:25.255 Every step in this infertility process is really hard, and you feel like, "Oh, I 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.720 don't know if I can do this, and I don't know if I can do this. 00:01:26.745 --> 00:01:34.820 " But every barrier that you come to face, you realize you're stronger for it. 00:01:34.845 --> 00:01:37.620 You can do it. You can take that next step. 00:01:37.645 --> 00:01:39.930 Dr. Delaney was my champion. 00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:43.660 She was the one that was there holding my hand. 00:01:43.685 --> 00:01:51.480 There's never going to be enough ways to say thank you to Dr. Delaney for what she 00:01:51.505 --> 00:01:54.760 has given me, which is to be a mother. 00:01:55.720 --> 00:01:58.840 It's the best thing that's ever happened in my life.
