Not the Custom Protocol

When her body doesn’t respond to injections as usual, a patient looks for a second opinion. This is story of how Grace Fertility and Dr. Cheung helped her and her partner conceive of a healthy baby boy.

Achieving the impossible

Dr. Cheung and his staff at Grace Fertility Clinic were able to help me achieve something I had been told was not possible. I got pregnant and had a healthy baby boy.

“I was a special case in that my body did not respond to the normal protocol—it was as though I never took the injections as my follicle count did not increase.”

I cannot say enough about Dr. Cheung and his team. Their staff were like family and always so kind and thoughtful when I stopped by for my appointments. Personally speaking, going through something like fertility treatment was very emotional with its ups and downs. Working with people who made me feel comfortable made all the difference.

Where it all began

Originally I was referred to another larger clinic with rotating doctors assessing my file. In theory it sounded good to have multiple experts assessing my file. However, it turned out that having several physicans left ample opportunity for details to fall through the cracks. I was constantly correcting doctors on relevant details concerning my medical history.

“We went to Dr. Cheung for a second opinion and thank god we did.”

I was a special case in that my body did not respond to the normal protocol—it was as though I never took the injections as my follicle count did not increase. The outcome was that the doctors at the large clinic recommended I consider donor eggs if I wanted to have a baby. We went to Dr. Cheung for a second opinion and thank god we did.

Taking another approach

Dr. Cheung took the time and was able to develop a customized protocol that worked for me. If I didn’t have Dr. Cheung working with me I would not have gotten pregnant.

He is persistent, creative, and uses all of his knowledge to help you. For anyone who is out there and has received similar advice, I would urge you to give him a call.

“I knew it was a very long shot for me to get pregnant but thanks to Dr. Cheung’s creativity and personalized approach it worked.”

Dr. Cheung and his team will give you the personal care that you need and will never treat you like a file but like a human being. I knew it was a very long shot for me to get pregnant but thanks to Dr. Cheung’s creativity and personalized approach it worked.

He took the time to asses me and looked outside the box to come up with a customized protocol that worked with my body chemistry. As a result we have our little boy who was born this past fall and we are over the moon.

Thank you Dr. Cheung.
