Dr. Silber and staff,
Since we met the Hunters in Brussels, December 1993, we have spent one weekend a year together. This picture was from our latest weekend in Indianapolis.
These five teens are all straight A student, all involved in the school bands and sports. We are so thankful to have and know them!
Sincerely,
David and Tracy Greenwell
Englewood, OH
Note from Dr. Silber:
This family is part of a group of families who helped me pioneer for the first time ICSI and IVF for couples in whom the husband had absolutely no sperm in the ejaculate, but for whom we retrieved sperm (for the first time in medical history) from the husband's testis or epididymis to fertilize the wife's eggs. This project began far back in the mid-1980's, and these families were true patient pioneers. They are to be congratulated for being among the first to do this. Now, 25 years later, millions of otherwise sterile couples have had children because of the efforts of families like this.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the body, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium.
