"I know how hard the holidays can be when you are struggling with infertility and loss, so I wanted to share a small piece of my story in case it can give you some hope during this difficult time. Both miscarriage and babies are mentioned, so if these things are triggering, please don't read on. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone. Two Christmases ago, I woke up covered in blood. I left my house after stockings, but before presents, to drive an hour to the fertility clinic. After an ultrasound, the doctor confirmed that our much-longed-for baby no longer had a heartbeat. That was, by far, the worst Christmas of my life. Later, testing would reveal that the embryo was a genetically normal girl. That wasn't my first or last loss, but it was the only one we had tested--because of this it hit me the hardest. She was a girl. Our girl. She left us on Christmas, but she would never open a single present, never help decorate the tree, never do anything at all. There was nothing wrong with her, so why did she leave us? At my follow-up appointment after the D & C, my fertility doctor diagnosed me with diminished ovarian reserve. She suggested donor eggs. I flat-out didn't believe her. It took several more months and another failed IVF, but eventually I contacted Doctor Braverman, found out I had endometriosis and several immune issues and got those things treated. This Christmas I will be celebrating with my six-month old baby...also a little girl. Her middle name is Hope. She has my eyes and her daddy's mischievous grin, and every time she smiles it feels like the best thing that's ever happened to me. Please don't give up hope. Miracles do happen. Yours is coming."
"One year ago on Halloween, this precious pumpkin was nestled in the pumpkin patch! We wouldn't have this
amazing gift of a boy if it wasn't for Dr. Vidali and the entire team at Braverman IVF. Thank you for
pushing the envelope with your work and looking beyond the standard. Dreams really do
come true! 💙 And yes, Tristan James Bettencourt has officially made his Facebook debut!" - Farrah Phillipo
"After 4 ER's, a lap and being in 4 states we finally got our miracle! Diagnosis: stage 4 silent endo found with large endometrioma on ovary (surgery done In NY with one of Dr B's recommended surgeons), DOR (dx at age 28), poor egg quality and very high cytokines. Successful protocol: Dr B endo supplement protocol for ~9 months prior to ER's post lap. 2 Lupron flare banking cycles with Lovenox, Metformin and Prednisone. 4 day 3 embryos frozen of fair quality. FET immune protocol by Braverman included: 60g IVIG q 3 weeks, IL q 2 weeks, Neupogen, high Prednisone, Metformin, Lovenox and Femara. I owe this to some incredible doctors. A RE that was reluctant to freeze early but did and found a stimulation protocol that worked for me. Most of all a big thank you to Dr. Braverman & Dr Vidali and their extensive research in RI and treating endometriosis instead of ignoring it. Always be your own advocate!"

"Where do I start?! Dr Braverman and Dr Vidali are amazing!!! They are the reason we have our little angel! To start we had a tough 3 years. 5 miscarriages and a lot of money spent let just say we had a tough ride and we didn't know how to get off it. My wife found a support group and more then one woman said I hear this Dr Braverman is amazing. Well we did our research and made an appointment. For starters very welcoming staff from top to bottom extremely helpful. I instantly found The Dr to be very patient and understanding and let's just say from our past Doctors who seemed to not want to do the work found it easy just to say very uninspiring and well mean things. "Where bound to have a good egg soon." Phrases like that and lack of compassion made my wife very skeptical and in a nice way not trusting. Dr Braverman and Dr Vidali were amazing with their patience, charisma and understanding. At times things were hard to understand but they took the time most of the time extra time to explain. After the blood work and research Dr Braverman chose to have my wife have surgery to get a closer look. Dr Vidali did the surgery and let's just say there is no cooler high energy brilliant caring man like Dr Vidali plus being Italian we connected immediately. He discovered a fibroid that was blocking our babies to grow past 6 weeks and with such enthusiasm knew immediately this was our problem. We had discussion about our next step and he idea both Doctors had different opinions and options it made me realize how they took each subject seriously and discussed it. Two weeks later from the surgery we tried naturally and got pregnant and now our little girl is 8 months old today. We owe them everything and want to tell everyone about them. The first thing Dr Braverman said is every case is completely different but they helped us hope they can help you!! They really are our heroes! I used that word before for sports figures or Artists but after this I really understand what heroes are. God bless them for our family."
