My name is Tony, Tess’s husband. I
posted our story in June of 2001, when
my wife had experienced a PROM and we
lost our twins. I hadn’t come back
here to list any follow up, and
thought it would be good to do so.
After we lost our twins, we were
obviously devastated. We waited about
six months and went back to see our
IVF doctor, Dr. Peress in Boca Raton,
Florida. He explained to us that
sometimes a PROM just happens, and
there is no explanation or reason. He
also told my wife that we didn’t need
to wait, and if we wanted to try
another IVF cycle, we could. I didn’t
think my wife was ready, but to my
surprise, she just said “let’s do it”.
We did an IVF cycle with very good
results, and she got pregnant. After I
think it was 28 weeks, we did the
gestational diabetes test and found
out she had it. Other than that, it
was a fairly normal pregnancy.
On June 27, 2002, our beautiful
daughter Gianna Maria was born by way
of a C-section. She weighed in at 8
pounds 5 ounces, and was about 21”
long. I can say that we have been
through a lot over the last five
years, with the failed IVF cycles, and
loosing the twins, but we never gave
up, and in the end, when we got to
hold our baby girl, all of the bad
things faded away. I pray for all of
you going through this, and hope that
it works out. One thing I can say is
never give up trying. I told my wife
when we first started, I said “the
only way we will give up, will be if
the doctors tell us that it is
impossible”. So far, that hasn’t
happen. We are looking forward to
trying again this year.
If you would like to read our PROM
story, look it up in the list. It is
marked 14:19 Tess.
