After four years of infertility, three pregnancy losses, and nine embryo transfers, Kate and Mike finally welcomed their twins in January 2024 and recently shared their story on @FOX61News.
Their journey included everything from unsuccessful IUI and IVF cycles to countless procedures and tests, then a rare genetic finding that complicated their path to parenthood even further. After feeling unheard at another clinic, they made the difficult decision to switch to Illume Fertility - and everything changed.
With the support of Dr. Laura Meyer and a personalized, ‘natural’ IVF protocol, they finally got the news they’d been hoping for: they were pregnant…with twins!
Now, as they soak in life with 17-month olds Dominic and Gia, they’re looking back with gratitude and sharing their experience to help others feel less alone.

After years of losses and unsuccessful fertility treatment cycles, Deanna and Justin were emotionally and physically exhausted...but they weren’t ready to give up on their dream of becoming parents!
After finding Illume Fertility through a friend, they decided to make the 2.5 hour drive from Albany, NY to meet with Dr. Cynthia Murdock and the team - finally feeling seen, heard, and hopeful again.
That first IVF cycle at Illume led to something they’d never experienced before: frozen embryos. And eventually, a healthy pregnancy. Their son Luke was born in December 2019.
Then, less than a year later, came the surprise of a lifetime: a spontaneous pregnancy. Their second son, Brooks, was born in 2021.
This past weekend, Deanna and Justin traveled to NYC with their two boys to share their story on CBS News alongside Illume's Dr. Shaun Williams MD - a true full circle moment!
