Past Free IVF Cycle Winners Update
Past Free IVF Cycle Winners Update
Over the past 3 years, we have donated nearly 30 IVF cycles to patients through SIRM seminars and Facebook contests. It is our pleasure to provide an update here on many of the couples that have been recipients of the donated IVF cycles. For reasons of privacy and courtesy, we haven’t listed the names of those couples whose treatment was not successful. The couples listed below have successfully conceived through their donated IVF treatment, or are in the process of scheduling or completing their treatment. It is a reality of IVF treatment that not every cycle is successful, and our hearts go out to those couples who continue to struggle.
