of endometriosis. Her treatment included a Laparoscopy in
1996; she had a second Laparoscopy & Hysteroscopy in 2002.
She was undergoing treatment at various military installations
while her husband was in the military. They were frustrated
by 14 unsuccessful clomiphene cycles, and sought the care
of a specialist. At HCR, she had a cycle evaluation to assess
her ovulatory capacity, and then proceeded to her first IVF
cycle. After one IVF cycle, she delivered their son Kyle in
May 2004.
Tara is 29 years
old and had a history of irregular menses and ovulatory dysfunction.
She had a Laparoscopy & Hysteroscopy in 2002. She was
also diagnosed with a thyroid condition. She had her first
IVF cycle in June of 2002 which was successful and she delivered
her son Chase in March of 2003.
Paula is 39 years
old. Her history includes major abdominal surgery to remove
fibroid tumors in May of 2001 and two IVF cycles at another
location. She was labeled a “poor responder.”
At HCR, Dr. Levin found a fibroid impacting the uterine cavity.
In March 2002, she had outpatient surgery to remove the fibroid.
She became pregnant on her first insemination cycle after
surgery. She delivered a healthy baby girl, Melanie, in December
2002.
Nicole is 29 years

IVF cycle with ICSI. The cycle was successful, and she delivered
twins, Mia and Elijah in October 2003.
Renate is 37 years
old. Before she came to HCR, she had a history of several
surgeries to correct a blocked fallopian tube. She also had
two unsuccessful prior IVF attempts elsewhere and was considered
a “poor responder.” Her physicians told her that
there was nothing more that they could do for her. At HCR,
Dr. Hickey suspected Human Growth Hormone Deficiency, which
was confirmed by dynamic testing of her pituitary gland. During
an ovulation induction cycle, Renate received human growth
hormone and gonadotropin injections. After one insemination
cycle, she was pregnant and delivered a baby girl, Sarah,
in July of 2003.

Following surgery, Jill and her husband Tom did one cycle
of clomiphene treatment and then decided to proceed with
GN stimulation combined with IUI. Jill conceived during
her first cycle of GN treatment. She delivered her son Josh
in October of 2003.
