16 yrs ago I was told by my OBG that I should tie my tubes and no longer have children as I developed a blood clot in my lungs during my pregnancy.
Fast forward to 10 months ago....
My new husband and I decided to use a surrogate to carry our child. Our IVF doctor however needed a clearance letter from my hematologist as the IVF injections have hormones which may cause blood to clot. I searched for a good hematologist in my area and came upon Dr Stanley Kim.
Right when I meet him I knew he was very knowledgeable and I felt I would be safe under his care. I explained to him what it was that I needed. He sent me to get bloodwork and found I have the MTHFR Mutation which he said is what caused my blood to clot during my pregnancy. He assured me it was ok for ME to carry our own child. And I did.
He put me on Lovenox injections, Baby Aspirin, Methylfolate and Vit B Complex.
Last month I gave birth to a full term, healthy, beautiful baby girl.
I see my daughter and think to myslef. "If it wasnt for Dr Kim she would not be here right now.!"
I am so greatful for him. Being able to carry our child and not have to use a surrogate made me the happiest girl in the world.!! read more
