Silverberg According to Melissa, “We wouldn’t have our babies without TFC.” She again stressed that the team at our Austin fertility center became their family during the couple’s five year journey with Texas Fertility Center. “Every single doctor at TFC is great, but Dr. Silverberg ended up being our best friend.” Melissa and BJ always felt like a priority at Texas Fertility Center. “They put us first, and the fertility treatments second. Not only are they fantastic doctors, but they are wonderful human beings,” Melissa said. “They walked us through the process, and they even carried us we weren’t up the challenge.” Melissa has some advice for women and couples who are also struggling with infertility. “You need to have patience and trust that the doctors and nurses know what they’re doing,” she said. She also stressed the importance of not being hard on yourself. According to Melissa, “As a women you feel like it’s your biological purposes to create and carry life, so you feel like less of a woman if you can’t. You aren’t a failure though. Sometimes things break, but it’s not your fault. You just need to do what you can to get them
The moral status of her one living child was not taken into much consideration. With physicians and authorities jumping to conclusions, the time taken to respond to this case was perceived as relatively short. When it comes to moral status of a human being, one must consider whether someone qualifies for moral consideration. In this case, twin B’s moral status was not taken into consideration. The rights of pregnant women, is an everlasting controversy, “when physicians’ concerns about fetal well being are allowed to supersede both a woman’s judgment about what is best for her family and her right to safeguard her bodily integrity, then this is no principled limitation on state power to police pregnancy and punish pregnant women” (Minkoff, Paltrow, 2013). With that being said, the physicians in this case did not express concern for the fetal well-being, and even the well-being of twin B when she was born. The clear evidence that Melissa did not receive immediate treatment for her concerns should have been a red flag for the physicians from the beginning. In her case, it was clearly stated that the well-being of her other children was significantly poor. Also, that Melissa was unstable. Yet, Melissa received lieu of her imprisonment and was given her surviving child for the time being. Until, she failed to perform simple probation stipulations. Sadly, in my opinion, the surviving twin
My mother had struggled to get pregnant for years, and at age thirty-two, she knew her time was running out. She spoke to her doctor who had recommended that if she wanted to have children, she should consider In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). She decided to follow through, as that was her only hope if she wanted to bring another generation to the Stang name. In Vitro Fertilization is a series of procedures treating fertility complications that also aids with conception of children, for this to happen, mature eggs are retrieved from your ovaries and manually fertilized by sperm in a lab. The procedure was successful and her Obstetrician (OB) was able to tell her she was having one healthy baby, and she is to be seen again soon. A few weeks later
Her children were made fun of, teased and had their own emotions to deal with from the surrogacy. Their family went downhill after this experience. Their “social life” was flipped upside down because of the way people looked at the mother for being a surrogate mother. She even wrote a book telling people not to be surrogate mothers or get involved in the process. She states that it is too much for a family to go through, or even one person to handle. Another complicated surrogate story in the past was in 1986 and is known by “The Baby M Case.” The surrogate mother, Mary Beth, gave birth to Melissa Stern, and decided she wanted to keep her as her own. Due to Mary’s decision there was a two year legal battle with the biological and intended mother and father, Betsy and Bill Stern. Because of their original deal, the Stern’s won custody of baby Melissa and Mary Beth was given visitation rights. This case stirred up many concerns in New Jersey because people began questioning how good surrogate pregnancies would work out. In 1988, surrogate mother, Patty Nowakowski gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The couple she carried the babies for only wanted a girl so they left Patty
After suffering a miscarriage, Elizabeth and her husband Paul welcomed two daughters into the world with help from IUI and our Austin fertility center.
"They did everything they could to help me and make me feel comfortable,” Grant said. “The only thing on my mind was, ‘I can’t get pregnant!’”

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a complex series of procedures used to help those who want children but struggle with infertility.

Before the trials even begin, Ann’s attempt to have children haven’t been very successful. Out of eight little infant babies, who haven’t even lived for a full day, Ruth Putnam was the only one who survived. Nothing makes a mother depressed more than the inability
Historically, women have used others to bear children when they could not conceive but being infertile wasn’t as common as it is today. The surrogate mother would be the genetic mother because technology in the past wasn’t as advanced as our modern day technology. Infertile parents today have so many reproductive procedures to choose from but surrogacy is common when they cannot conceive their own child (Fixmer-Oraiz, 2013...

Before watching “Life’s Greatest Miracle,” I knew conceiving a baby is a complex and difficult process. However, I did not realize just how complex and difficult that process actually is. Conceiving a baby takes a lot more than meets the eye: it takes DNA from both genders, the right timing and so much more.
