I had always said to my friends that if I didn’t find anyone by 35 that I would have kids on my own. Of course, I didn’t actually think this would be the case. But suddenly, I realized I was 35 and there was no man.
“No one tells you what the risks are when you set out to have a baby,” says Olive patient Myriam Steinberg. Specialists told me that assisted reproduction, for me, had a 25% chance of success. What they didn't tell me is that the 75% failure rate doesn't just mean no pregnancy was achieved.
We had always talked about starting a family and the desire to have kids in our life, but we didn't really think seriously about it until late 2013. We got a referral from our Doctor to see Dr. Taylor at Olive Fertility Clinic. We didn't get in to see her until early 2014.
