Our journey to increase our family to three has a happy ending. In May of 2013 we met the love of our lives, Chase, our beautiful little man.

Getting to this point was difficult and challenging from both an emotional and physical standpoint. We began trying for a family in 2009 and after an unsuccessful year we sought out the assistance of a fertility specialist. Our unexplained infertility then took us on the long road of six rounds of IVF treatment, with our last round resulting in a successful pregnancy.

We had almost given up hope of starting our family naturally and had begun looking at alternatives. We were actually a year into the adoption process when we got the wonderful news that we were expecting a baby.

We were fortunate to have met Dr Yap at another clinic and he was our first thought and choice when selecting our obstetrician. From day one we felt comfortable and confident in his care.

During my pregnancy, I was worried daily that something would be wrong with my baby; I was worried given the difficulty we had experienced to get pregnant that something horrible would eventually happen. In retrospect, I am sure this is a normal thought for people who have faced similar challenges. I feel blessed each and every day to have Chase in our lives.

The care, service and understanding that Dr Yap and Mei provided us was second to none. Whilst he is clearly a busy and in demand doctor, we were made to feel like his only patients. Both Dr Yap and Mei made themselves available whenever we needed them, day and night. Our pregnancy was without complication with the exception of a hospital stay whilst on holiday in Fiji. Both Dr Yap and Mei supported us during this time by phone and email. This gave us confidence that out baby’s health and wellbeing was in great hands.

We encourage anyone that has concerns regarding their fertility to make some time to speak with Dr Yap. He will leave no stone unturned in helping you realise your dreams.

In terms of the support and care we received during our pregnancy, the birth itself and then after we returned home to our “new normal” we cannot speak highly enough. Strongly we feel Dr Yap and Mei have become a part of our extended family. They are a huge part of our happy ending and we cannot thank them enough
