Jaylen & Cody's Story:

My husband was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 3. When he was 16, he was told he would never be able to biologically have his own children.

We met in April 2022, got married in September 2022, and immediately began trying to conceive. We decided to reach out to CNY Fertility because of their affordability and reputation for compassionate care.

We started our journey in January 2024. In February 2024, I had my egg retrieval, and at the same time, my husband underwent a TESE procedure to retrieve sperm. Unfortunately, no sperm were found at that time. My 13 eggs were frozen while we regrouped.

Dr. Trussell started my husband on Clomid and HCG for 3 months. After completing treatment, we flew back to Syracuse, NY, to repeat the sperm extraction—and this time, there was enough sperm for one vial.

That vial was enough to fertilize our eggs, and we ended up with 11 embryos.
We transferred our 5BB untested embryo, and on January 28, 2025, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy into the world.

We will never be able to thank CNY Fertility enough for making our dreams come true.
