Just wanted to follow up from the telephone message I left advising of the safe arrival of baby Joseph George on 9th March 2013 weighing in at just under 10lbs !!
 
You will remember me from treatment back in May/June 2012 where my partner and I underwent IVF at St Judes as we so badly wanted a second child and sibling for our daughter. I was very doubtful of our chances of success as I was 42 when we started treatment with you and would be 43 at the point of birth. I had read and read so many sad stories for women at my age (and of course younger) but we resolved to give it one shot and then if not successful take some piece of mind from the fact that we had tried.
 
I found you by chance on the internet as we were not local. Something made me contact you and the rest is history. You never gave me false hope but you also were positive that things could work for us. your approach was warm and caring and visits with you felt like meeting friends. I cannot believe how flexible you were about appointment times. You definately fitted around us rather than the other way round.
 
I had a friend who was undergoing treatment elsewhere and I told her how you would give a hug at appointments. She said her consultant just eyed her nervously. I think thats the difference between St Judes and other clinics.
 
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your expertise and skillfull treatment. I look at my 5 week old baby boy who is in the best of health and I still feel I should pinch myself. Success on my 1st IVF at 42...incredible.
 
I know how much effort you put into trying to achieve success for your patients. I hope you might put this in your book or up in your waiting room so that others and particularly older ladies can take some hope from my success and realise you dont need to go to London clinics to get the best treatment.
 
I will send a photo of [REDACTED] in due course. Sorry for the delay in contacting you but the birth was traumatic and I was unwell after. Im fine now though.
 
Thank you , thank you and keep up the good work. Sending kindest regards and warm wishes to you all
 
love from
