Infertility and neonatal loss are silent journeys that transform everyone who walks them. They are not just medical diagnoses; they are emotional trials that challenge the very foundation of a relationship. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, there are stories that remind us that persistence, guided by science, can bring light back into a home. This is the story of Brenda and Mario, a couple who knew the deepest pain after losing their first son, but who refused to stop dreaming. Their testimony is a journey from grief and poor medical care to finding a team that saw not just a clinical file, but two human beings searching for what sometimes seems like a miracle. Grief and the Courage to Start Again Brenda and Mario’s path to parenthood didn’t begin in a fertility clinic, but in a grieving process that marked their lives 11 years ago. The couple lived through one of the most devastating experiences for any parent: the passing of their firstborn, at just 23 days old. Perinatal and neonatal grief leaves invisible scars. The fear of history repeating itself paralyzes many couples, stopping them from seeking help for years. The fact that Brenda and Mario decided, after a time of healing, to “revisit the idea of starting a family” is a testament to unbreakable resilience. Deciding to try again is the first act of love toward the child who has not yet arrived. However, a patient’s bravery must be met with medical excellence. Unfortunately, the first step they took outside their home didn’t find the solid ground they needed. When “Help” Becomes an Obstacle: The Previous Experience Following a friend’s recommendation, Brenda and Mario visited a conventional fertility clinic. This moment is critical: couples arrive vulnerable, placing absolute trust in the medical staff seeing to their case. Far from bringing them peace, the experience at this first clinic added more anguish to their process. Mario recounts a situation that highlights the lack of personalized protocols in certain sectors of reproductive medicine: “We received very poor treatment there, a terrible experience. They gave me 4 antibiotics at once because I supposedly had an infection. It triggered several complications.” The Impact of a Wrong Diagnosis Mario’s case illustrates a grave error: imprecise diagnosis and excessive medication. In reproductive health, the male factor is responsible for 40-50% of infertility cases. Treating a supposed infection with such an aggressive load of antibiotics without clear justification not only affects the patient’s general health but can deteriorate sperm quality (such as DNA fragmentation or motility), further complicating the chances of conception. Beyond the physical damage, there was a communication barrier: “The doctor answered our questions in a very technical way, but we didn’t understand him.” Assisted Reproduction is a complex science, full of terms like blastocyst, fertilization, stimulation, or endometrium. It is the specialist’s responsibility to translate that complexity into human language. When a doctor hides behind technical jargon, it creates a gap of anxiety for the couple. Brenda and Mario felt alienated from their own process, not understanding why, after so much medication, the result remained negative. Restoring Confidence: Finding Ingenes León After the disappointment and health complications from the poor treatment, the couple reached a breaking point. Keep trying or give up? The answer came through research. Mario, determined not to repeat the bad experience, turned to digital information to find a solid alternative. “It didn’t work at that clinic, but luckily Ingenes was there. I searched for ‘Ingenes León’ and saw over 200 reviews, and none of them were bad. That gave me confidence.” In modern medicine, reputation is built on real stories. Seeing that hundreds of people had achieved their dream at Ingenes León allowed Mario and Brenda to take a leap of faith. Upon arriving at the branch, the contrast was immediate. They didn’t find cold treatment or generic prescriptions. They found Dr. Fernanda. The initial diagnosis at Ingenes was the real starting point. Unlike their previous experience, here the couple was evaluated holistically, understanding not just their biological factors, but their emotional history and the loss of Juan Pablo. “We fell into Dr. Fernanda’s hands and had very warm support throughout the entire process.” The Reality of IVF: Managing Expectations and Emotions The indicated treatment was In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), the method with the highest complexity and success rates. The process involves stimulating Brenda’s ovaries, retrieving eggs, and fertilization in the lab to create embryos. However, biology isn’t always predictable. Despite having good quality embryos, the first transfer attempt did not result in a pregnancy. “After the embryos were made, the first two didn’t stick. I got upset, but the doctor told me to take everything calmly.” Mario’s frustration at this point is a completely natural reaction. After years of searching, a previous loss, and a bad medical experience, a negative result feels like a devastating failure. This is where medical ethics and human quality play their most important role. A committed team doesn’t abandon the patient when the result is negative; on the contrary, they double down on support. Dr. Fernanda acted as the pillar of strength the couple needed, explaining that assisted reproduction is often a cumulative process. At Ingenes, programs are designed under a Multi-Cycle model, meaning more than one attempt is contemplated to achieve the goal. The doctor asked for calm and trust, adjusting protocols for the next attempt. It wasn’t about luck; it was about scientific perseverance. The Miracle of Life and High-Risk Support On the next attempt, after adjusting the strategy and preparing both body and mind again, the awaited news arrived: Brenda was pregnant. But for a couple who lost a child at 23 days old, a positive pregnancy test isn’t the end of anxiety—it’s the beginning of a stage of extreme vigilance. Mario clearly mentions the challenges they faced: “The process of making the eggs, the medication, the danger of miscarriage, everything… it was handled very well and they were with us always.” The mention of “danger of miscarriage” indicates
