We knew that if we had a chance, it would be with this team: Letter from a patient

Letter from Carrie Cohoon

“There is nothing more that I can do for you. The only way you have a chance of getting pregnant is with using donor eggs.” Thinking about the day these words were said to my husband and I still brings tears to my eyes. But that is all they are: words.

I’ve never been one to give up easily and those words led me to begin my own research, which resulted in finding Dr. Gleicher and his team at CHR. From the first phone consultation, Dr. Gleicher’s confidence and knowledge were clear. He did not agree with my diagnosis and ordered testing to confirm. And so our journey began.

It wasn’t always easy, consulting with doctors in New York, while living in Michigan, but the team at CHR did everything they could to help us through the process. The team had one goal and that was to safely get us a healthy baby.

And they did! It didn’t happen overnight, and at times it felt as if it might not happen at all, but through it all, we knew that if we had a chance, it would be with this team of doctors. In April of 2018, my husband and I welcomed our healthy, beautiful, perfect daughter, Kaisa, into the world.

I am so grateful that we found Dr. Gleicher and CHR. CHR truly changed our lives. It saddens me to think that there are others out there who have received an incorrect diagnosis, and I hope that by sharing my story, maybe I can help just one person.
