Seeking Adviseof Invitro Fertilization

Hi R.. Dr. Samuel Chantilis at Presbyterian Dallas/Margot Perot is a miracle worker and has repeatedly made D Magazine's "Best Doctors" list. I married late and, once we started the trying, found out both my tubes and one of my ovaries were 'shot'. I actually had one tube removed. My husband and I now have b/g 3-year-old twins... on the first invitro try. We live in Grapevine and happily made the drive to his office without question. I know that no two situations are the same, and it's not cheap, but totally worth it. He also assisted four of my friends - all successful (ages ranging from 29 - 42).

Hello R., my name is T. and my mother had a tubal ligation after I was born in and after 9 years she decided to have it reversed because she had remarried. Well on my 11th birthday she gave birth to twin boys without any help from fertility pills. And she has one more child after that at the age of forty. She was her last, but anything is possible.
God Bless, T..

I was in a similar situation. I did Invitro in 1992 and my son was born in 1993. I went to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, TX. The Doctor's name was Dr. James Madden. He was a great doctor. If you have more questions please feel free to ask me.

Dr. Gill is an excellent physician to talk to about this. He has offices on Fondren, in Tomball, and I think Pasadena. I don't have his number with me right now but can get you contact information if you are interested.

Invitro worked for me and my wife. She had her tubes tied before we ever met, and had one of her olveries removed, and first attempt we were successful. The doctor thought it would be a good chance going in since both of us had childern before. Good luck.

You should contact Dr. Chantillis with Presby Dallas. He is listed as one of the best in Dallas by D Magazine. Doctors are ranked among their peers for the title. I did invitro and got preg w/my son through him. He also assisted 2 of my friends successfully.

While my situation is different than yours, I did undergo successful IVF at the Center for Assisted Reproduction in Bedford. It was started by a husband and wife doctor team- the Doody's and there are a couple of other doctors there. Their number is ###-###-#### and their website is www.embryo.net. At the time of my IVF I was given a 15% success rate- but I beat those odds and at age 39 am 29 weeks pregnant with my first child. In the Tarrant county area, this is the place to go and as my primary care doctor said, "they can get a tree pregnant". Good luck!

I had 2 children with IVF and used UT Southwestern's Aston Center. It's a teaching facility so there might be a bunch of students learning during your transfers but it's not a big practice like the private ones and the care is wonderful and less rushed. YOU are not a number at UT Southwestern.
Dr. Carr is the head of it all. My Dr. left a few years ago to go to another facility in Florida.

My husband and I have a beautiful 2 month old son from IVF with Dr Michael Putman from Baylor Dallas. Dr Putman has been rated best in D Magazine several times, was the head of the National Board of Infertility, has 4 patents for surgical tools he invented for womens' surgery, but most important of all, he is a kind, compassionate, smart, Christian man who made a trying time the best experience of our lives. I almost feel like going through IVF was even better than if we could have naturally conceived. It has made us appreciate our relationship and treasure everything about our son. We'll do it again for baby #2.
Good luck with whatever decision you make.
