Infertility is a problem for 15 percent of couples trying to have a baby. Problems with the man in the family can account for a large percent of the problem.
Mike, Danielle and 9 month old Ava are a lovely family. It’ll be Mike’s first Father’s Day, and a special one. It took five years for the Mateos to conceive a child.
“It’s going to be overwhelming especially after hearing that it might not have happened for us. It makes it all the more special,” Mike said.
The Mateos spent four years and a lot of money. They went through many procedures without success. Enough to frustrate any couple.
“We just didn’t want to hear that we couldn’t have a child,” Mike said.
So they went for a second opinion with Dr. Hyacinth brown. She found that Danielle had an immune system problem that was hampering pregnancy, and that Mike had a low sperm count.
