Leads to an egg retrieval,
leads to an embryo transfer.
That's still the
basis of what IVF is.
I work with many patients
who have won this contest.
You see them all the time
all over our website.
They've won these contests,
and they have babies,
and they could have
never done this before.
How could that ever be wrong?
How could that be wrong?
But I've got to think about the
other 99 people who didn't win.
We were just really struggling
trying to figure out how we
were gonna take the next step.
And then we talked
to our parents,
and they said that they would
be willing to lend us the money.
We're already in debt.
Do we bankrupt this family
to try to fulfill this dream?
So we decided that this
would be our last try.
Anyone who entered
the contest--
those who don't
win, the losers--
they still get a free
consult from a doctor
any one of our clinics.
They still get a discount
OK, so I started
out at University
Reproductive Associates,
and there's those records.
- OK.
- And then I went to.
Columbia.
- OK.
And now I'm at New Hope.
My goodness.
It's gonna cost
maybe $15,000, and my mom
and I split the cost.
Have a great day.
You too.
Hi, Rosalinda,
can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you, Dr. Sher.
I know that due to my age
it's gonna take longer
to find an egg that's good.
that we can find one?
The biological
clock cannot be reset.
So it's very important
that whatever we do,
we don't waste a lot of time
to get down to doing it.
And I'm not ready
to give up yet.
All right, we won't
give up on you, either.
No matter how a
patient gets to me--
whether it's through
a contest, or they
scrape together the money--
they all face the ultimate
challenge, which is,
am I going to get
a baby out of this?
To prepare for a cycle of IVF,
Dr. Sher gets everyone cycling
at the same time.
And I have 45 people
in this cycle.
Women normally grow
one follicle per cycle,
and they ovulate one
egg from that follicle.
In IVF they need to
undergo many injections
grow as many eggs as possible.
IVF is a numbers game.
Two, three.
There's no
measurements on there.
It's really f***ing thick.
This is day 24 of injections.
Two, three.
One, two, three.
Hopefully this will
get us our golden egg.
Can I cut them shorter?
Yes, please.
Tomorrow I'm gonna go to Vegas.
Do you do insemination or--
We're doing IVF.
IVF.
Mm-hmm.
Why you get a
blue color today?
Blue for a boy.
I want a boy.
Oh, you want a boy?
Yeah, for my husband.
My third boy.
Yeah.
I thought it would
be a girl, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I'm 42.
I'm done.
So this was a surprise.
Ha, ha.
My best friend's son,
my godson, they're 40,
and they just got surprised.
Their boys are like, 11 and
nine, and they were not--
Yeah, mine are 16 and 11.
--they wanted
another one, a girl.
And they got triplets.
Oh, triplet girls?
They broke the bank.
They broke-- it was crazy.
Oh my gosh, yes.
But it was pretty funny.
Yup.
Strange how it happens,
and what we get, isn't it?
OK.
I'm doing this for my wife
and myself to have a family.
But it's a really tough journey.
The Catholic church
disapproves of IVF,
because it believes that
you're messing with nature
in a way that you shouldn't.
It's considered one of
the unforgivable sins.
I'm following my
heart, but I can only
hope that my conflict
and my remorse
is enough that God will
forgive me for what I've done.
It took us seven years
to get to this point.
And, you know, through
everything, we've stuck it out.
It really is now
or never for us.
Our house is in the
foreclosure process.
We still technically own
it, but not for much longer.
Just trying to survive.
And whatever happens,
we're in this together.
OK.
I think that's everything.
Welcome aboard
American Airlines flight 2375.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Las Vegas.
You go pose with them.
No, I'm not gonna
pose with them.
Yeah, I'll take
a picture of you.
That's not gonna look right.
That's not gonna look right.
Yeah it is, go ahead.
Take my picture?
Got it.
Thank you.
Live long and prosper.
Live long and prosper.
This is the trigger shot
that gets the eggs ready.
We have to do it
exactly at 9:
30.You ready?
And I'm out.
I didn't feel anything.
You're good.
One, two, three.
Don't let go.
I'm not letting go.
I got you.
Tell me where you're at.
I'm done.
No way.
OK.
Love you.
Love you.
It feels
like you're just one
step away from the threshold.
Yeah.
Especially because
balancing the hormones
through acupuncture, and helping
the chi and blood to become
strong enough to increase
your ability to conceive,
and to sustain the pregnancy.
What we call fulfilling the
essence, in Chinese medicine.
Yeah.
up and clear the magnetism, OK?
Oh.
I do have some concerns
about all these hormones,
and about medicalizing
a natural procedure.
On the other hand, Athena has a
strong desire to carry a child,
and I understand that.
We all take risks in life
to get what we really want.
And it seems to me that
the enrichment of her life
is worth that risk.
The stereotype
of IVF is that it
is something that you
do on a whim, kind
of like elective
plastic surgery.
A long line
of celebrities who've
chosen this path to parenthood.
I feel like the
media, in general,
really focuses on pregnancy.
Oh, you're having a boy!
Any time a celebrity
gets pregnant they
have a baby blog on people.com.
They are doing
interviews constantly,
bonkers, because they think,
like, well pregnancy
is the new black.
We're still trying.
We're on the fifth
try, and I tell you,
this is fifth try
has got to come in.
Ah!
Right.
about infertility largely in
the context of celebrity media.
And I think it's
great that infertility
gets the airtime that it does.
But it doesn't really speak to,
here's the actual experience
of an American in this
country with a median income,
and here's what
you need to save up
in order to try for a chance.
Thank you for holding.
At the Sher Institute
our physicians
have helped thousands of couples
and go from
infertility to family.
I'm
gonna say they're
showing signs of fertilization.
We don't know if they're
fully fertilized yet.
I won't know that until our
next update on day three.
didn't fertilize at all.
I'm trying not to get nervous.
Ha, ha.
- Hi, good morning.
- Good morning.
Can you take a look
at the information here?
And if everything is
correct, I want your initials
somewhere on the label, please.
All right.
Here you go.
Thank you.
OK, Brian, if you follow me.
You guys usually finish almost
approximately at the same time.
And I do apologize, I usually
have this ready, but--
