After years of struggling with infertility, Susie Troxler was thrilled to finally get pregnant.
In 2021, Susie and Toni Troxler finally have the baby girl they have been waiting for. Mom was 50 at the time and dad was 61.
They tried to have a baby for more than a decade before realizing that they simply could not afford it.
Married for 13 years when they welcomed Lily, the couple didn’t think about fertility treatments because, like many people, they just weren’t sure what options were really available to them.
When they got married, they waited for the woman to get pregnant, but this did not happen. At the time, no one even told them about IVF.
She was in her late forties when the doctor first asked her: “Is there anything else, any concerns or questions? »
Susie ventured to ask about her fertility and was surprised by the answer. She mentioned that she wasn’t pregnant yet and the doctor said they could work on it!
As soon as Susie was referred to a reproductive specialist, more precisely to a reproductive endocrinologist, her problems became apparent.
Troxler was diagnosed with fibroids, benign tumors that develop in the wall of the uterus. She underwent surgery in January 2019.
But this does not mean that getting pregnant will be easy. They still had to take into account Susie’s age, as well as some of her husband’s health complications.
The Troxlers were offered to try in vitro fertilization. But they were never able to produce a viable embryo.
Then they decided to try egg donation, but the created embryo did not implant in Susie’s uterus. After that, the pandemic suspended their plans for almost a year.
They had one embryo left, which was frozen. It was their last chance and in February 2021 it worked!
The couple could not believe that their last attempt had worked. They called the pregnancy “surreal”.
Even more surprising was Susie’s pregnancy, which “had passed without incident”. At his age, there are often complications.
But after a planned cesarean section on September 29, 2021, the Troxlers finally became parents.
She said it was a beautiful, exciting and peaceful time. Everyone in the room was excited and she came out healthy and happy!
Baby Lily was born happy and healthy to two loving parents who are thrilled to have her with them, even if it means less sleep than ever.
“We see things as they should have been. This is our miracle baby,” the new mom said.
