“The fertility world is very unknown to you until you start walking through it; and it’s a little intimidating and uncomfortable, a little bit… But when we walked in and met with Jessie and Amy, they took care of us so well… They are truly changing people’s lives by giving us the blessings that they have.” Corina Chambers, CFI Wilmington Patient
When it comes to selecting a provider to help guide you on your fertility journey, there’s nothing better than a referral from someone you trust. In that spirit, Corina Chambers and her husband Gordon, are excited to share their experience with Carolinas Fertility Institute. They worked with the caring team at our Wilmington location and ultimately conceived Riley, their miracle baby. Corina and Gordon want to help others by sharing their story and their experience with CFI.
Corina and Gordon were able to bring Riley into this world thanks to IVF treatment at CFI. Put simply, In vitro fertilization (IVF) combines a man’s sperm and a woman’s egg outside the woman’s body in a lab. After this process, one or more fertilized eggs would be placed in the woman’s uterus, ideally resulting in implantation in the lining of the uterus and development into full-term infants. IVF is used for many causes of infertility, such as ovulation factors, tubal factors, male factors, age factors, uterine factors, endometriosis, or unexplained infertility.
Gordon and Corina call Riley their “miracle girl” because their IVF retrieval yielded only one embryo and that would prove to be enough to bring them Riley. According to Corina, “We just truly thank God every day for the journey that we have been on. And honestly, as hard as things have been, I think it has made us better parents knowing how much effort and faith it took to get her.”
