Failed Vasectomy Reversal IVF Success Story
Two kids after failed vasectomy reversal: The Carro family’s story
Jessica Lovell, a former Las Vegas news anchor and reporter, was 35 when she married 43-year-old Tony, who runs a legal services company and who already was the father of two pre-teens. When they

After each IVF cycle, in March, April and June, her eggs were fertilized with Tony’s sperm, and the resulting 15 embryos were frozen, allowing Jessica’s body time to recover before embryo transfer.
“Frozen transfer made a lot of sense, when Dr. Shapiro explained it,” she says. “You go through all this medication to do retrieval, then you’re asking your body to get back in the mode of accepting transfer right away. It’s better to wait a month or two and then start over again, making sure that your body is ready to take the embryos in. It worked for me.”
Ultimately, two embryos survived the thaw and growth stages, and both were transferred. One became Jessica and Tony’s first child together, daughter Sunnye Lucille.
Repeat IVF after failed vasectomy reversal
Soon, the Carros decided to try again. This time, the day before egg retrieval, Tony got cold feet. The idea of a fourth child suddenly became overwhelming. When Jessica came into the office upset and uncertain about what to do, Dr. Shapiro offered to retrieve Jessica’s eggs and freeze them until the couple was ready, and even offered to let them pay for the retrieval when they were ready to move ahead.
“It was such a tough, emotionally charged time for us, and Dr. Shapiro knew it,” she says. “What he did for us just shows what kind of person he is.”
Four months later, Tony was back on board, and the couple decided to move forward with fertilizing Jessica’s frozen eggs.
In the Hendersons’ case, the couple was able to successfully undergo infertility treatment in the past and now have one child, yet failed to see gains from a similar treatment covered by Clarion the second time. Consequently, the Hendersons were advised to seek a more involved, costly procedure in relation to the previous treatment; however, there was little medical evidence presented regarding the success rate and medical necessity for the recommended treatment.
A terrible accident in 1999 left them without their youngest child three year old Nicole. With their four sons they desperately wanted another little girl. Although they say that they were not wanting to replace the daughter they had lost. They had been trying for 15 years to conceive
Christy chose this industry from listening to her inner voice and needs. She devoted herself to her career and passed the peak time of fertility. She was trying to find a way to balance having a career and a family. Reading of Hewlett’s book and discussion with Christy’s friends about fertility treatment inspired Christy brought her interest in digging in the fertility industry. At that time, some medical research center started to offer freezing egg services to cancer patient before chemotherapy. Christy thought this technology could benefit professional women who often delay on serious relationships,
It is assumed by most that we will all be able to grow up, fall in love, get married, and then have children of our own. This is not the lifestyle that all people choose, but it is still the view accepted by the majority of society. What happens when the unthinkable occurs and a happily married couple is unable to get pregnant? This is a reality for 7.1%, or 2.8 million, of the married couples in the United States (Lenox, 1999). Today, there are many people all over the world that decide to use fertility treatments to help them conceive a child, and this often leads to the birth of twins, triplets, or even higher order multiples. There are many risk factors that are involved in this type of
Embryonic tissue that was removed is first tested for genetic abnormalities. This is done so that the healthiest embryos are frozen and implanted. Dr. Timothy Yeko, a medical director of the assisted reproductive technology program at the Reproductive Medicine Group in Tampa, talked about the genetic testing, “ Most of our patients now choose to have this genetic testing, which has come into widespread use in the past year or so. By doing this , the miscarriage rate has dropped by 50 percent because the genetically abnormal embryos are the ones that end in miscarriage.”
The majority of the process of keeping an embryo alive for an extended period of time is the same as in-vitro fertilization. “One day after retrieval (Day 1), the embryologist begins their day with the assessment of fertilization and by separating out the normally fertilized eggs. Cell division or cleavage will occur after the intermingling of the chromosomes overnight. By Day 2, normally dividing embryos should have four cells. Embryos will be further assessed on Days 2 and 3 for transfer or placement into more advanced blastocyst growth media until day 5 or 6”(AZFertility). However, in order to continue the growth, once the embryos are placed into the culture, they are placed into incubator. The majority of the difficulty is keeping the embryo alive within the

Have you ever wanted something so bad and had your hopes destroyed within seconds? Well let me introduce you to two people that when through that. Their names are Sean and Carolyn Savage. When they had planned to start a family they were blessed with a baby naturally. Then their second child was conceived from ovulation stimulation in shot form. When it came to their third child they tried in vitro fertilization. It was successful but there was still unused embryos. They didn’t want to just throw them away so they decided to try and have another child. A week and a half later after being impregnated she went to the office to have a pregnancy test done. After some hours and the day went on the doctor contacted Sean and he happened to be at work.
After selecting the egg donor, one of our fertility specialists will perform intrauterine insemination, IUI, on the egg donor if she will be carrying the pregnancy. If another woman, known as a surrogate, will carry the pregnancy, then our fertility center will perform in vitro fertilization, IVF.
With new technology evolving, many couples and single adults who are told they are infertile are now able to pursue their dreams of becoming a parent with the help of donor insemination and in vitro fertilization. Within the next five to ten years after I earn my college degree and become stable enough to provide for a child, I would like to have children of my own. With these great advancements in reproductive technology, doctors can help me overcome many obstacles that I may face in the future when trying to conceive a child.
“The process of egg cell donation is time-consuming, uncomfortable and even painful, requires surgery, and carries a multitude of risks, complications, and side effects.” (Chapter Preface)
Unexplained subfertility poses difficulty in management due to lack of specific abnormality and treatment is generally empiric. IVF success rates fall sharply after the age of 40 and by the time a woman is 45 are close to zero. Well despite all of the above, many women do conceive in their forties, either by IVF, or naturally, and have very happy healthy families. Although IVF does not fix all infertility factors, it is still the most successful treatment option for many couples and affords many bonuses. I can only say, be prepared for other hurdles apart from not getting pregnant. So many things can go wrong before you even reach the transfer
Last month, when Brown, the world’s first in vitro fertilization “test tube” baby, and Carr, America’s first baby born via IVF, finally met, there were tears as the women embraced with the realization that they’d probably never find anyone more understanding of what it’s like to go through life as the answer to a question in a Trivial Pursuit game.
Many couples that are infertile still have a great desire to create a new life however the current method in vitro fertilization is very often ineffective. In fact it only results in a healthy pregnancy 10% of the time. However cloning could be much more effective. Contrary
