Dear Dr. Chin and
your wonderful staff,
When my husband and I decided that we wanted
to start a family, the thought never crossed our mind that getting
pregnant was going to be difficult. About a month after our wedding, I
was quite surprised to discover that I was pregnant. Sadly, the day
after we found out, I miscarried. I have never felt such a deep level of
sadness and loss. All I could think about was getting pregnant again as
soon as possible. My OB/GYN started me on Clomid and I begin charting my
temperature. After a few exhausting months of this, we were referred to
Dr. Chin. At first I was angry that nature just wasn’t working for us
the way it should, but as soon as we met Dr. Chin, my anger quickly
vanished.
I could go on for
days about how kind, compassionate, gentle and knowledgeable Dr. Chin
is. His staff is just as amazing and loving. From our first appointment
I knew we were in good hands. After doing a few tests we started IUI.
When the first three attempts failed, Dr. Chin suggested doing a
laparoscopy to find out why IUI wasn’t working. He found that I had some
scar tissue that was attached to my fallopian tubes, which he was able
to free on one side. The next month we did a round of Pergonal and then
IUI. |

Right after I knew
something was different with my body. I anxiously counted the sixteen
days until my blood test. Later that afternoon, while I was taking a nap
Dr. Chin called to say “Congratulations!”. Not fully awake yet, I asked
him what he meant and he told me I was pregnant. I was so stunned I just
sat there until I thought I’d better tell my husband and the whole
world! After being with Dr. Chin through my 10th week I was
released. Our son, Samuel Cole, was born on October 23, 2004 and weighed
9 lbs. 10 ounces and was 22 ¼ inches long.
I still take Samuel
to visit Dr. Chin and his girls often. It doesn’t feel like I’m in a
doctor’s office, but like I’m visiting some really good friends. We will
be forever grateful to Dr. Chin and his staff for helping us realize our
dreams of family.
Carrie, Steve and
Samuel
