Hannah’s Journey: Finding Hope and Family at Center for Reproductive Medicine

When Hannah and her husband met in their early twenties back in 2012, she knew almost immediately that he was the one. After years of dating, they married in 2018, ready to build a life together. Two years later, they decided it was time to start their family. It was April 2020, in the midst of the uncertainty of COVID-19, when their journey began. 

Like so many hopeful parents, Hannah started with the basics: supplements, prenatal vitamins, and patience. But after a year or two without success, she turned to her OBGYN for guidance. That conversation changed everything. Her doctor recommended Dr. Sharon Jaffe at Center for Reproductive Medicine (CRM) in Winter Park, a name that would soon become synonymous with hope and support for Hannah. 

At CRM, Hannah and her husband began with three IUI cycles. When those didn’t work, they faced their diagnosis and made the decision to move forward with IVF. In December 2024, they started the process that would ultimately change their lives. After years of waiting, hoping, and enduring emotional ups and downs, Hannah received the news she had been longing for: she was pregnant. It was May 2025, a moment she describes as “seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.” 

Their success came from one special embryo, lucky number seven. It passed every test, including PGT-A, and felt destined to be theirs. Fittingly, it happened during their seventh wedding anniversary. “It was all meant to be,” Hannah says with a smile. 

Now, as they await the arrival of their baby on January 31st, Hannah reflects on what made this journey so meaningful. Beyond the joy of pregnancy, she treasures the unwavering support she received from the entire CRM team. “The most rewarding aspect was knowing I had doctors who had my back—Dr. Jaffe, Dr. Loy, Dr. Asante. Dr. Sadek—and the nurses. Anytime I called or messaged, they were there. They were empowering, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile.” 

Hannah knows that infertility can feel overwhelming, and she offers heartfelt encouragement to others walking this path: 

 
“Having a baby doesn’t always end the way you expect. It might lead to adoption, IUIs, or IVF—but I firmly believe CRM is the beginning of finding your options and discovering how it will work out for you and your family.” 

For Hannah, CRM wasn’t just a clinic—it was a family. A place where hope is nurtured, and dreams of parenthood become reality. Her story is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of compassionate care.
