Brenna Ramirez and Charles Thomas’s IVF Success Story in Mexico

Brenna Ramirez and Charles Thomas, a couple from Chicago, have been married for eight years. Brenna, 35, and Charles, 35, had faced numerous struggles with infertility, including emotional and financial stress. Brenna works as a nurse, and Charles is an engineer.

Their journey to parenthood took them to UNILIVE in Puebla, Mexico, with Dr. Octavio Herrera Osorio, facilitated by PlacidWay Medical Tourism. The couple welcomed their baby boy, Kevin!

"We had been trying to have a baby for a year. After my bilateral tubal ligation in July 2020, it was challenging. We consulted PlacidWay, who recommended UNILIVE in Puebla, Mexico, with Dr. Herrera Osorio."

During their eight years of marriage, Brenna and Charles faced numerous struggles with infertility, including emotional and financial stress. They decided to go to Mexico because the cost of IVF treatments in the United States was prohibitive and around $25000 but on the other hand its aroundonly $9000 in Mexico.

"The affordability and expertise in Mexico made it a clear choice for us," Brenna shared.

By June 2023, Brenna underwent her first egg retrieval. Out of six eggs, three fertilized, resulting in one blastocyst.

"On June 28, 2023, we got our positive pregnancy test. Our dream was coming true!" shared Brenna.

Dr. Herrera Osorio noted, "Their determination and trust in the process were vital to their success."

Despite a scare in August 2023, the support from Dr. Herrera Osorio and the team kept them hopeful. "Their care was exceptional, and we felt supported every step of the way."

On February 15, 2024, baby Kevin was born. "Our hearts are full. The journey was tough, but it was worth it," said Charles.

"For anyone considering IVF, stay hopeful. With the right team and perseverance, dreams can come true."
