Dear Dr. Diaz and wonderful staff,

 

As I sit here in our nursery watching our two little angels sleep, I am overwhelmed by the collective effort that it took for them to be here. When we first arrived in your office, on a co-workers’ referral, we were hopeful but skeptical. Soon after, we were overwhelmed by the fact that I would not be able to conceive a child on my own. Frozen egg donation was not something we ever considered, but as our only option we decided to give it a try.

 

We are so glad that we took the leap of faith and moved forward with the transfer. During every step of the way, the staff was there for us with encouraging words and great advice. They became our other family.

 

The journey was not easy, but worth every minute. We were so lucky to have been blessed with two miracles on our first try. Now, eight months later, they sleep soundly in their crib as a testament to not only science, but the power of the collective love we felt throughout our journey.

 

We are proud to have birth baby number 50 from your frozen egg bank. Congratulations on creating miracles and changing lives every single day. We miss you all and look forward to a return once we recover from the lost sleep of having twins.

 

Always,
A & L

Spring Savings on Egg Freezing

"Being a 34 year old female, I have thought about egg freezing for 2 years. I did not want my biological clock to dictate when I should get married and have children. After reading about Dr. Diaz and all the great work he has done, I decided to proceed.

The staff at West Coast Fertility Center has been fantastic!! It is a sigh of relief knowing my little eggs are now safe in a freezer until it’s time I decide to have children. I cannot say “thank you” enough to West Coast Fertility Center for their professionalism and care to their patients."  –Yvonne L.

With treatment underway, the physical struggle for survival became the goal. Happily, his cancer went into remission and a few years later he met and married Maria. When they decided it was time to have children, they know it would not be as easy as other young couples.
It was now 2006. After semen testing at our facility, Juan discovered that the cancer treatment had caused azoospermia which is the total absence of sperm. After meeting with Dr. David Diaz to discuss their options, they decided to try the IVF procedure hoping to give themselves the best chance of success.

After completing their first IVF attempt, they became pregnant with their own biological child! Juan and Maria were advised to freeze and store their surplus embryos for future attempts at pregnancy. Their beautiful baby girl was born on July 4th, 2007.

The nurses were all incredibly nice and uplifting. Dr. Diaz has years of experience, terrific bedside manner, and the latest technology. We now have 8 embryos in waiting and very excited with the results. I look forward to returning to Dr. Diaz for the embryo transfer when my body is healthy again. I highly recommend Dr. Diaz!”  -Nancy O.

What is Egg Freezing?

“After graduating from college, I was restless and unsure of what my next step should be. Family and friends told me how proud they were of me for finishing school, but I thought, what’s the big deal? It led to me think about my life and things I accomplished thus far. I compiled a mental list of things that I could say I was truly proud of, and came up very short-handed. 

With school out of the way, I knew I needed to find a job. I scoured Craigslist and found very few jobs that excited and/or inspired me. It was there I stumbled upon a listing for egg donors. I had heard of the process before, but had never looked into it or thought of participating. But with absolutely nothing on my plate, I thought, hey, this could be a cool adventure. I have no obligations holding me back, and I DO have bills to pay. I bet no one will want my eggs anyway!

But what started on a whim ended up being one of the best things I’ve ever done. Yes, there are needles and a minor surgery involved, but the temporary pain is far outweighed by the gratitude and care expressed by the receiving couple and the West Coast Fertility staff. Imagine that a month or so of your time may result in a LIFETIME of love for a dedicated couple that desperately wants something everyone should have the choice to experience—to be a parent.

It’s definitely not an easy process, but when you are being led the whole way by the truly wonderful staff at West Coast Fertility, you have very little to be afraid of.  You’re not just another appointment or number here; you can feel that they want to develop a relationship with you, and they always have your best interest in mind. I feel so blessed that I was matched with this particular clinic. There’s not enough good I can say about the people I got to work with and the experience I went through. It would have never been the same, never been as good if I ended up somewhere else. I now have something I can be truly proud of for the rest of my life, and hopefully a couple out there will have a baby to love for the rest of theirs.”   ~Donor JM1695

What is Egg Donation?

Many couples who want to have children find it difficult or impossible to conceive because of certain medical conditions such as advanced maternal age. In such cases, egg donation has enabled women whose ovaries do not produce enough healthy eggs, to become pregnant using healthy eggs from an egg donor.

Becoming an Egg Donor

If you apply to become an egg donor, you will be providing the gift of life to women who desperately wish to have their own children. Donor candidates must schedule several office visits with us before they may be accepted to our program. These visits will include a complete…

• Physical and gynecological exam
• Medical and family history
• Blood and urine tests
• Psychological evaluation

You will also be informed by a program coordinator about your rights and responsibilities before being considered for egg donation. You must read a detailed informed consent and verbalize your understanding of the egg donation process. You will also be compensated for your time and commitment.

August 2009: Stephanie and Rob are so delighted to be pregnant from her own frozen eggs and is seen here proudly sharing her first baby ultrasound pictures. Shown are Stephanie's Dad, Dr. David Diaz, Stephanie's Mom, Stephanie and her husband Rob.

Stephanie, Rob and the future grandparents are seen here touring the egg freezing laboratory with Dr. David Diaz and Antoine La (Embryology Lab Director).

For personal reasons, other patients like Stephanie and Rob request freezing surplus eggs instead of embryos. This helps to avoid the difficult decision of disposing surplus embryos.

Fast forward to August 2010: The happy day has arrived as Stephanie and Rob introduce us to their precious baby daughter-Emilee Faith.

Dr. Diaz, new arrival Emilee Faith, Nurse Joan

"Dear Dr. Diaz. Rob and I are so very grateful for everything that you did for us. We cannot express our gratitude enough! You and your wonderful, caring staff have become our extended family. Our dream of becoming parents finally came true on April 16, 2010, with the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Emilee Faith (all 10 pounds, 5 oz. and 22 inches of her!!) She is our miracle baby! It feels like yesterday when Joan called us with the big news, letting us know that our third and final IVF attempt had worked!! What an amazing process and journey! We hope and pray our success story will inspire other couples whose dream of parenthood has not yet been realized." Sincerely, Stephanie and Rob
