How was your experience with Cecil Long at Alabama Fertility Specialists (formerly ART Fertility Program of Alabama)?
Dr Long came in after I had already had an full ivf cycle from a “CENTER OF EXCELLENCE “ that ended up depressing me with the low quality experience being that I had a retrieval(15eggs), 3 transfers, and still no baby and I was tired of driving out of state just to be even broker and even more devastated so I decided to go back to Dr Long who immediately did test and found hydrosalpinx in my right tube and immediate removed and clearly stated that I would’ve never gotten pregnant with that fluid dripping in my uterus fast forward a month he did and hsg and found that everything is fine now and I got pregnant the same month and I’ve been trying since 2015 of course it ended in miscarriage and then We got set up for invocell the newest accomplishment for us fertility patients that don’t want to keep spending all of their life savings and he I am currently starting meds and waiting for my chance I’m so 100% guaranteed that he and Karen will make this happen for me because they have done more for me in 3 months than my previous RE did in almost 2 years
