I was walking in NYC the other day… I think it was along Madison Ave… and I saw this ad and had to take a quick pic:
(Sorry about the glare. If I see it again I’ll try to get a better pic.)
Isn’t it cute!?!?! It reminds me of the Cabbage Patch kids dolls. Super cute.
It’s an ad for the Gianna Center for Women. It’s at 40th St. just west of Madison. (212-481-1219) It’s a great new center that helps women to find a natural SUCCESSFUL way to have children biologically without having to spend the thousands of dollars and pain of going through IVF.
Before I did my research on IVF I had NO idea that it costs about $30,000 for one month of treatment! AND that it is ONLY 30% successful!?!?!
Crazy. They never tell you that when you go to the Infertility Clinic to try to figure out why you haven’t had children. They just start telling you the steps that you can take. Once you finish the first step, they push you to the second and on and on.
Anyway – we went to the center that is advertised in the ad above and they were great! Super nice, very thorough, offer natural treatments, and honestly cared more for ME medically, rather than what kind of money they can make on our fertility attempts.
They have a wall of pictures of all of the women that they have helped and all of the cute babies that have been born because of them. It’s really encouraging.
(After a couple of years of treatments, we decided to move on to Adoption, since it’s 100% successful. 🙂 But I would totally recommend going to the Gianna Center first to try to figure out what is medically wrong. If I hadn’t gone through the Gianna Center I would be left wondering if there was something else that I should have done. Instead I’m free to happily move on to Adoption. Yay!)
