Meet Adriana and Gerardo: A story of triumph over infertility and PCOS, thanks to Dr. Deborah Ikhena-Abel and the compassionate team at Kindbody Austin. What sets their journey apart is their utilization of an invaluable employee benefit for fertility treatments. After a year of trying to conceive and unsuccessful treatments elsewhere, they found hope and expertise at Kindbody. Their first IVF cycle with Embryo Preimplantation Genetic Testing was a resounding success, culminating in the birth of their beautiful baby. Adriana says, ‘The staff—nurses, ultrasound techs, embryologists—everyone made the experience humane and kind. Our baby is a testament to their exceptional care.

The holiday season is often framed as a time of joy, connection, and family. But for those navigating a fertility journey, gatherings and well-meaning questions can feel unexpectedly heavy. We asked patients to share their honest experiences, and their responses paint a clear picture of the challenges and the need for greater compassion.

In recognition of National Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, we are proud to share the powerful stories of families whose journeys to parenthood were made possible through the partnership between the Boomer Esiason Foundation and Kindbody.

The Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) partnered with Kindbody to help people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) become parents through IVF treatment at one of Kindbody’s 27 fertility clinics nationwide. Two years into the BEF IVF program, nine families have welcomed a baby. This is remarkable because, until recently, people living with CF didn’t live to reach adulthood let alone become parents.

Whether you’re just beginning or have been on this path for a while, the emotional challenges can be overwhelming. From navigating expectations to coping with uncertainty, the emotional impact is real—and it’s okay to feel this way.

After years of trying for a baby and seeing other fertility centers for treatment, in May of 2023 we started our IVF journey at Kindbody with Dr. Cooper. 

We had a wonderful IVF journey with Kindbody Arkansas in the summer of 2023, and we are so grateful to have graduated after one retrieval and one transfer. Our rainbow baby was born in April 2024!

We have recommended everyone we know to Kindbody, resulting in three babies within our friend group.

My oncofertility journey was not something I planned for, but then again I don’t know if any oncofertility journey is planned for.
