When I married Bellena she already had children and had made the decision to have her tubes tied after the birth of her last child.  While I love Bellena's children as if they were mine, I really wanted a biological child of my own.  We decided to talk to Bellena's OB/GYN about our options and he referred us to Dr. Jaime Vasquez for a consultation.  I was skeptical at first due to the fact Bellena's doctor had cut, tied and burnt her tubes however, during our initial consultation Dr. Vasquez spent a lot of time explaining our treatment options in detail.  We left his office that day knowing that we had come to the right place.   It was now up to us to decide which treatment we felt would be best for us, In Vitro Fertilization or a tubal reversal.  After careful consideration we made the decision to proceed with a tubal reversal.  Therefore, on June 3, 2005 Bellena had the surgery that would forever change our lives.   

In September of 2005 (approximately three months after Bellena's surgery) we found out she was pregnant.  We made an appointment to see Dr. Vasquez and he confirmed the pregnancy.  The rest is history as they say. I won't deny the fact the process was difficult and challenging at times, however, we appreciated the fact that the entire staff at The Center for Reproductive Health always made us feel comfortable even calling us by name whether we visited the office or just called.
