Linda Vester, a former NBC and Fox-TV anchor, talks about her struggle with secondary infertility and how Clear Passage® helped her achieve not one — but two — natural pregnancies.
Transcription
I’m Linda Vester. For many years, I was an anchor and correspondent for NBC News and then an anchor for the Fox News Channel. I’ve seen a lot around the world, seen a few war zones; I have to say that up until I tried to have children, I never felt such a sense of desperation – I tried to have kids and couldn’t. When I got married, we had Meredith really easily, and then I had something called secondary infertility, unexplained secondary infertility. Which is ‘medical speak’ for the doctors don’t know why you can’t have a baby. They just didn’t know. We tried IUI, timed intercourse, Clomid — but nothing. We did one IVF, and we got our son, and then after that, nothing worked. We tried it all again; we tried more IVFs and failed. The more we tried, the more I felt like a failure. I can’t tell you what it’s like to look around the neighborhood and see pregnant women everywhere, and it’s not you. That sense of failure — I know a lot of women feel it. The doctors just didn’t know why.
So, I went on the Internet because I was determined to have another child with my husband, and I found Clear Passage®. They treated me in 2008 and, within one month, I was pregnant with our third child, and then right after that, pregnant naturally with our fourth. They gave us the babies we were yearning for, and I’m really grateful.
I come from a long line of doctors, so I know my way around medicine. I can tell you it is particularly frustrating when conventional medicine runs out of options, and you’re trying to have a baby, knowing your time is running out. There are just limitations to conventional medicine when it comes to fertility – they have a limited bag of tricks. I was one of those women who were just not going to give up — I was going to stand on my head if that’s what it took to find a way to get pregnant. Luckily, I found Clear Passage® after searching on the Internet. It was nothing I’d ever heard of, but it made sense when they explained it to me, and it worked.
So here I was, 43 years old, one month after being treated by Clear Passag,e and then I was pregnant – after 43. Easy pregnancy, easy delivery. Right after that, pregnant naturally at 45 with our fourth child. It sounded a little unconventional, but it was a whole lot less expensive than the conventional IVF, and I was still willing to mix them both. For women who are on limited budgets, it’s a no-brainer. I mean, you could spend tens of thousands of dollars on in vitro, or you could spend a fraction of that getting therapy at Clear Passage®. Why not try it? One of the great things about getting treated at Clear Passage® is that once they opened up my reproductive area, I didn’t have to go back for IVF. I got pregnant with our third, and then at age 45, I got pregnant naturally with our fourth child. I didn’t have to go back for the expense and the pain of IVF.
